Carolina Forest High School Academy for the Arts, Science, and Technology: A STEM School

The 2024-2025 School Calendar is Available Online! http://www.horrycountyschools.net/hcscalendar

As the end of the year approaches, we wanted to reach out and let you know that if your child has ANY medication (including over the counter medications like Tylenol, Motrin, etc.) in the health office it will need to be picked up on or before June 5th. Per county policy, On June 6th we will have to destroy all remaining medications. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact nurse Jessica or I and we will help in any way we can.

For next year, if you would like your student to have medications available to them, please bring in an unopened bottle to the health office at the beginning of the next school year.

Have a Great Summer!

Upcoming immunization clinics and reminders for the 2024-2025 school year:

DHEC is offering clinics throughout May, June, and July 2024 for students in grades 5K-12 to receive vaccines that are needed to attend school.

Check out the flyer and visit www.horrycountyschools.net/immunizations for more info.

Call SC DHEC at 1-855-472-3432 to schedule a vaccination appointment or schedule an appointment with your child's healthcare provider to avoid the back-to-school rush if your child needs a well-visit or vaccine ahead of the upcoming school year.

HCS Offering Free Meals For All Students In The 2023-2024 School Year.

All students in Horry County Schools will receive free breakfast and lunch during the 2023-2024 school year as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. Participation in this program eliminates the requirement for parents/guardians to fill out Free and Reduced Meal applications.

Students will still have the option to purchase additional meals, food & snack items, and beverages at à la carte prices. À la carte items can be paid for in cash or by prepayment on the student’s cafeteria account. Charging for à la carte sales is not allowed. Prepayments can be made by cash or check at your child’s school cafeteria or with a debit card by setting up an account at myschoolbucks.com. Any charges remaining on a student’s cafeteria account from a prior school year are still the parent’s responsibility. If needed, payment arrangements for larger balances can be made by contacting the school cafeteria manager.

Carolina Forest High school students and families,

There are only a few SATURDAY attendance make up sessions left for this school year, to remediate missed days. Please see below for upcoming dates.

Students are expected to make every effort to remediate the missed time and in a timely manner. Remember that students who earned an FA (failure due to attendance) from semester 1 can only remediate that time by attending Saturday school.

Should you/your student have medical documentation to excuse any days please send it to CFHAttendance@horrycountyschools.net for processing.

In previous years, there has been an opportunity for students to make up time after school ends in June, please be advised that IF and WHEN that opportunity becomes available, it will be expected that students have remediated time during the course of the school year and there will be a limit to the number of blocks that students can remediate.

Again, the expectation is that students are taking advantage of attendance remediation opportunities throughout the school year. Students should be checking with their current teachers regarding making up missed blocks from this semester. Many teachers allow students to stay with them during lunch (2 lunches equal 1 missed block).

If you have any concerns about being able to make up the missed time, please contact Mr. McClellan (cmcclellan001@horrycountyschools.net) as soon as possible to help develop a plan.

The CFHS Counseling Department created a resource page for students and parents to locate forms, sites and other info related to the counseling department. Click on the link below to see more information.
