The Piedmont Elementary School hosted their back to school open house on Tuesday, August 6. 2013. Over two hundred students and families filled the hallways on Tuesday night. Students and families were able to find out the bus routes, classrooms and new rules that will be enacted this year.  Excitement was high as the students peered into the organized rooms and met with their new teachers. There was a lot of anticipation with the new National Geographic reading series. The new tardy time is at 8:01 now, so students and parents were encouraged to make necessary adjustments. Piedmont also held a quick volunteer meeting to discuss what is expected of volunteers and to fill out the necessary forms. There was a brief overview of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and why it is so very vital to the school.
