Out hats off to the Rutherford County School system. On Saturday morning, September 24th, a PARENT ACADEMY will be offered at three schools across the county. It will be from 9:00AM to 1:00 in the afternoon at Rockvale Middle School, Siegel High School and Smyrna High School. 

County school's spokesperson James Evans said the program is designed to help parents to raise children who will be better students who will grow into positive members of society.

Rutherford county educators are seeking parental input as to what topics should be covered. In fact, they have a short survey with three questions on the school's website: www.rcschools.net. Some of the subjects being considered are: how to improve study habits, bullying, social media and technology, how to accomplish a smoother transition into both middle and high school, along with locating scholarship grants and funds.
