Great Week!
It was a wonderful week of learning at Seaside Elementary! Our teachers and students are working so hard and I am so proud of everyone as we work together to help all of our students grow as learners and kind citizens. I hope that all of our Seaside families are doing well. Enjoy the weekend and we will see all of our students back on Monday, September 18 ready to learn!

Thank you to the St. James High School cheerleaders for coming and greeting our students on Friday morning, September 15. Our students loved it!
SJHS
We always LOVE when the SJHS cheerleaders come to brighten the morning on car line and open car doors for our students! Lots of cheer and smiling faces for our Stingrays.
All Students Breakfast and Lunch Free
All students in Horry County Schools will receive free breakfast and lunch during the 23-24 school year as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. Click here for more information.
When coming to eat with your child
We love having parents coming to eat with their child. Please sit with your child at the tables that have been put out for parents.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Our doors open for our students at 7 A.M.
- Breakfast begins at 7 A.M. and ends at 7:35 A.M.
- Tardy bell rings at 7:40 A.M. (Please make sure you are on time.) Our car rider line is empty from 7-7:25. Everything starts to pick up right at the last 15 minutes.
- Dismissal is at 2:40. If you are picking up in the car rider line, please have your car rider tag on your dash board the entire time or you will be asked to park and come to the front office.
Attendance Matters!
Research shows that consistent attendance is a critical piece of student success. Absences with doctor notes (medical, eye, dentist) will be marked as medically excused. If absent due to death in the family an obituary or memorial information is needed to excuse for bereavement.
If any of the following occur Horry County Schools requires an attendance meeting to implement an AIP (Attendance Intervention Plan):
- 3 consecutive unexcused absences
- 5 accumulative unexcused absences
- 10 unexcused tardy/early sign-outs
Message from Nurse Hopkins
Please reach out to Nurse Hopkins if your child has any medical issues that the school may need to know (severe allergies, asthma, diabetes, seizures, etc.) If you need to reach her please call the school at 843-650-3490 or by email at MHopkins002@horrycountyschools.net. It is imperative that we know about any medical issues so that we are able to keep your child safe at all times.
Health Screenings
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Horry County Schools (HCS) performs student mass health screenings in selected grade levels. As recommended by the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), these screenings include vision, hearing, dental, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure screenings. Health screenings play an important role in the health and health education of our children and help to identify students who may need a referral for medical/professional evaluations. HCS health professionals do NOT perform medical evaluations. If a referral is necessary based on the screening findings, the school nurse will send information home with the student. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to schedule the appropriate medical appointment.
All health screening information is maintained in the school nurse’s office and may only be shared with the child’s parent or guardian.
Parents may opt out of student health screenings by sending the attached Student Health Screenings Opt-out form to your child’s school nurse. Opt-out forms must be completed each school year. Additional information regarding health screenings can be found on our website at https://www.horrycountyschools.net/healthscreenings.
If you have any questions, please contact our school nurse Megan Hopkins.
Please check your child's backpack for inappropriate items, personal electronic devices, toys, stuffed animals, Pokemon cards, sports cards, plush toys etc. We do not want your child losing their personal items. We are not responsible for any lost items. We do not want any items coming to school that may cause a safety issue or cause your child to get into trouble for. We thank you in advance for doing this! We really appreciate it!
Thank you!
