Principal's Greeting
Thank you to the parents that attended the Charleston Center Vape Talk last night. The information they shared was extremely helpful for our community. We hope that all of you who attended found it as beneficial as we did. We hope to bring the Charleston Center back again in an effort to educate our families and community.
It is our goal to provide a series of evening events for parents and families, with the aim of educating our community on a variety of topics that can impact our children. Our next event, about keeping your kids safe online, will be held on the evening of March 23. Read more about this event below.
Ms. Rowehl
Great Job!
Big Bingo Thank-you!

Author Event: Varian Johnson
We are just over a week away from our March 1 visit from Varian Johnson. He will spend the entire school day with us, presenting to all three grade levels, lunching with select students, and signing copies of his books.
How did Mrs. Bouton, decide to host this particular author?
His graphic novel, Twins, is one of the 20 books on this year’s SCASL top books for SC middle schoolers
His novel Playing the Cards You’re Dealt is on the 2023-24 SCASL list of top books for middle school students
He is a SC native who grew up in Florence.
He writes primarily for middle school students, and he appeals to a wide range of readers
We hope students will be inspired to read his books, and we are promoting them in the library. Should you be interested in having Varian Johnson sign a book, you can have your student bring in a book you already own.
Internet Safety Parent Night
Are you concerned about the amount of time your child is spending online or playing video games? Is your child a perpetrator or victim of cyber bullying? Do you suspect your child could be sexting? Do you want information on how to monitor/restrict their online activity? We will be hosting a parent information night on March 23rd at 6pm with Kenyetta Mitchell from the Internet Crimes Against Children division of the SC Attorney General’s office. Please mark your calendars to attend this important and informative event.

A reminder about the CCSD fee structure for damages and loss of chromebooks:
