Middle School Orientation: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (all middle schools)
-
Elementary School Orientation: 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. (all elementary schools)
High Schools typically hold their orientations from 2 – 4 p.m. on that day, but have individual schedules that expand on those times Many elementary and middle schools also go beyond those times to hold additional open houses or other special back-to-school events. School websites, linked at www.cowetaschools.net, will include updated information for these and other school-specific activities in the new year.
Representatives from the school system’s transportation department will be available at all schools during the July 31 Orientation, and on the first day of school on August 1, to provide information about bus schedules. School bus routes for the new school year will also be posted on the school system’s website before the start of school.

Representatives will be available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at each elementary school, and will also attend special back-to-school events for student sign-ups.
Parents who need to register their children for the first time can do so through the school system’s Central Registration Center.
