Students are returning to class as early as this week in some Michiana schools.

If you've not yet registered your children for classes, information is typically available at each school or district website. Enrollment boundaries, policies and documents required for registration may vary by each school.

Here's where to look for information in a few of St. Joseph County's largest school systems.

South Bend schools

The first day of school for students in the South Bend Community School Corp. is Aug. 17. The district is organizing a series of back-to-school events.

From 1-6 p.m. Aug. 8, the corporation will have a walk-in registration day at the following schools: Darden Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Madison STEAM Academy, Marquette Montessori Academy, Marshall Traditional School, McKinley Elementary, Monroe Elementary, Muessel Elementary, Nuner Fine Arts Academy, Swanson Traditional School, Clay International Academy, Dickinson Fine Arts Academy, Edison Middle School, Jackson Middle School, Jefferson Traditional School and LaSalle Academy.
