23/24 School Registration
Registration for the 2023-2024 school year has started! All parents should have received an e-mail from the HCA Registration system by now with instructions how to register. Please remember that all students, whether returning or new, must have their parents complete the registration process
If your student is not returning for the upcoming school year you need to inform the Guidance Department. More information on Registration can be found on our webpage. Thank you!
Lunch Fines
The end of the school year is quickly approaching, and we ask that everyone have their lunch accounts in good standing before the last day. If you are unsure about your students account balance, your student may stop by the cafeteria and request their account information, or you are welcome to reach out to Kim Bennett the cafeteria manager.
Medication Pick Up
As the end of the school year approaches, I would like to remind you to pick up your child's medication(s) from school. Our medication policy requires the disposal of ALL medication, prescription and nonprescription, that are not picked up by the last day of school for students. ** THIS INCLUDES EMERGENCY MEDICATIONS such as inhalers and Epi pens- I cannot store medications over the summer break.
Thanks

School Volunteers
Attention for anyone who is wanting to come in to volunteer in a class, assist with clubs, or help with school events
You must complete a Volunteer Form. All individuals who are not employed by HCS, MUST be an approved Volunteer to work with our students. If you have not completed a Volunteer form in since August of 2022 please do so. Click this link
Student Pick Up
You must be able to present a government issued ID for all student dismissals. Anyone that is coming to pick up a student must be listed in PowerSchool as a pickup person, emergency contact, or a parent/guardian. If you need someone to pick up your student who is not listed in PowerSchool, you must give us written consent to release your student to them. You may do this by sending an email to Ms. Connors in attendance.
School Visitors
The Safety and Security of our Students, Staff and Visitors is a top priority for us. Everyone who visits our building between the hours of 7:45am and 3:15pm MUST ENTER and CHECK IN at the FRONT DESK. This is for Parents, Verified Volunteers, Family of Faculty/Staff, Coaches, District Vendors/Employees etc.
(i.e. anyone who is NOT a Current Faculty/Staff member of Socastee High School)
