Panthers PressWeek of July 23rd 2023

Good afternoon,


I hope everyone is ready for a great 2023-2024 school year. I know our staff is excited to meet their new students on Thursday, July 27th at Meet the Teacher. Your child’s homeroom teacher should have contacted you to schedule your appointment. If you have not received an email from your child’s homeroom teacher, please call the main office at 864-397-1800.


If you have not done so already, please be sure to update your registration information in FinalForms. This must be completed prior to Meet the Teacher.


During your Meet the Teacher appointment, each family will receive a car rider number, obtain bus information as needed (see bus transportation information below), pay the technology fee using MySchoolBucks, and visit their child’s homeroom teacher.


We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday. Enjoy your week!


Andy Holliday

SDPC Online Registration

SDPC ONLINE REGISTRATION is now available.


The School District of Pickens County is making a transition to a new online registration system called FinalForms during the summer of 2023. The registration site (linked below) MUST be completed before coming to Meet the Teacher. Those who attend Meet the Teacher without previously completing registration and updates on FinalForms will be asked to complete it on Meet the Teacher before meeting your child's teacher. This includes the New Student, Back to School, and Express Update sites.

Free Meals for SDPC Students for the 2023-2024 School Year

We are pleased to announce that all School District of Pickens County (SDPC) students will receive free meals for the 23-24 school year. This includes breakfast and lunch. This is available by qualification under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). As parents are completing online registration, this means that a meal application is no longer required as part of that process - SDPC is NOT taking applications for free and reduced meals this year.

It is important to note that funds will be required on a student's account for purchases for a second meal or for a la carte items, including snacks, drinks, or second entrees.
