This week marks the official start of the 2010-11 school year in Bryan County, and each school will be holding open houses in the days leading up to the sounding of the first bell Wednesday morning. Below are some dates and times worth mentioning again.
The following dates have been announced by the school principals for the open house activities for school year 2010-2011.  
Parents and students are invited to use this opportunity to meet teachers, locate classrooms and tour the facilities.
