Atlanta Public Schools started the new school year on Monday, following a weekend celebration for students and families. At one elementary school, students received a special welcome, walking into the building on a red carpet as their names were called. The district is focusing on several key areas, including reading proficiency in early childhood education and community-based services.

Parents are advised to check the start and end times for their child's school, as these vary by level. Further details about the new school year and district priorities are available from Atlanta Public Schools. Parents can find information on bell schedules, route details, and other important updates to help them prepare for the year ahead.
