Year-round class option deserves consideration
I believe one of the best-kept secrets of the Rockingham County school system is the year-round option.
Anyone in the county is eligible to register for year-round school at Central Elementary in Eden or at New Vision in Stoneville.
Students in year-round schools go to school for nine weeks, then have three weeks off. This repeats each semester during the school year. Start date is mid-July. The final day of school is usually the last of May.
This schedule allows students to build on their learning without a lot of time reviewing material after a long summer break.
There is room for more students in most grades based on this year’s enrollment.
If you are interested in this unique option in the Eden area, please contact Central Elementary School soon. If you live outside of the Central zone, you must complete a transfer request.
Because of limited space, requests are date- and time-stamped. The earlier these are completed, the better.
I hope you will seriously consider this option for your child. If you don’t have children, pass the word to friends and family.

That is not year-round. Check out what other developed countries do and get back to us.
