Student Calendars Updated
Greenville County Schools has updated the Student Calendars for 2025-26 and 2026-27 to include three potential makeup days, as required by the state. These calendars were previously released in 2024. Makeup days will only be used if eLearning is not possible. Other than the three makeup days due to Hurricane Helene, GCS has only needed to use eLearning days and no makeup days in the last five years so it’s unlikely these will be needed outside of unusual, extenuating circumstances.
Make-Up Days Added to 2025-26 and 2026-27 Calendars
Pay Student Debts Online!
Did you know you can pay your student's Northwood debt online anytime using MySchoolBucks -- no matter what GCS school they currently attend? The system has a guest checkout feature, so you don't even need a log-in or password!
When your student receives a debt notice, please pay close attention to what the Northwood debt is for and the exact amount due. You will need this information prior to entering the MySchoolBucks site. The system will not reflect your student's personal debts.
Any fees not paid will follow your student throughout their time in Greenville County Schools and may impact future privileges (high school parking passes, prom tickets, etc). If you have located any items listed as lost, we encourage you to return the item so the fee can be waived! Note: MySchoolBucks funds added to or available in lunch accounts cannot be applied to debts linked below.
To inquire about your student's Northwood Middle debt, please email our Media Center staff at sdartez@greenville.k12.sc.us or gcleveland@greenville.k12.sc.us

6th Grade Bootcamp
Attention rising 6th grade parents and students!
Northwood Middle School will host their rising 6th grade class at Boot Camp on Wednesday, August 6th at 2pm! This is our back to school event that will help our 6th graders get prepared for the beginning of the school year!
Students will be dropped off by 2:00pm. They will be given the opportunity to practice opening a locker and learn how to have a successful 6th grade year. At the end of Boot Camp, students will be given their class schedules and an opportunity to meet their teachers.
A Parent Boot Camp will be offered at 3:45pm. This will give parents an opportunity to learn about middle school and ways to ensure that your child has a great transition to 6th grade. This parent session is optional.
Parents will meet up with their students at 5:00pm. Students and parents will have the opportunity to meet teachers, listen to teacher presentations, and walk the student's schedule. This part of the event will last from 5:00-6:00pm.
Please fill out the 6th Grade Boot Camp Registration Form by Friday, August 1st. Parents who have registered will receive an email with detailed information about Boot Camp during the week of August 4th.
