Baltimore County Public Schools: It's Time To Register
Parents should register their children for school as early as possible for the 2012-13 school year.
It's that time of year to register kids for school.
"Early registration ... allows schools time to plan for each child and to adjust staffing," according to a statement from Baltimore County Public Schools.
And it makes it easier for families to pull together documentation needed, it states.
