A team of school nurses will conduct screenings the morning of Tuesday, October 1st, beginning at 7:50 a.m. Please make every effort to have your child present and on time October 1. Students who wear glasses should wear them during their screening. If needed, referrals will be sent home shortly after fall break.

Families,

Tn South Carolina, a School Improvement Council (SIC) is an advisory council to the principal and school on issues related to school improvement. By law, every K-12 public school in South Carolina must have an SIC that is made up of parent, teacher, student (grades 9-12), and community member representatives. The principal is an ex-officio member of every SIC. An SIC may create additional ex-officio positions such as the school’s Teacher of the Year, PTA or PTO President, past SIC Chair, or a representative of the school’s Title I Advisory Committee. This committee meets once a month, with the exception of December. If you are interested in serving as the chair or secretary of this committee, please me Dr. Lloyd (melissa.lloyd@kcsdschools.net) know as soon as possible. Elections will be held in October.

If you do not have this year's car rider tags, now is the time to get them. The link is https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mtduKcDRSYThAjFXkgDwEbhOyqEIdjM1ZmnIOWXBzJ4/edit#settings. Anyone with the wrong tag will be sent to the front office to be identified. This is a protocol that we utilize to help maintain safety.
