I want to inform you about a safety improvement project managed by the City of Greenville Engineering & Construction team along Old Augusta Road, between Monteith Circle and Blythe Drive. As part of this project, a temporary road closure on Old Augusta Road will be necessary from approximately November 18th - December 6th.
The project includes the installation of a speed table at the intersection of Beck Avenue and Old Augusta Road to work alongside the existing 3-way stop. This traffic-calming measure is designed to address ongoing speeding issues along Old Augusta Road and improve overall safety for everyone.
To help you plan ahead and avoid any delays, here are a few suggestions:
Consider Alternate Routes: We recommend checking your GPS for alternative routes around the construction area. Nearby streets may provide a faster route to school during this closure. Avoid Old Augusta as is will be closed.
Carpool if Possible: Sharing rides with other families can help reduce traffic and make drop-offs and pick-ups quicker at school.
Allow Extra Travel Time: Arriving slightly earlier may help avoid peak congestion and allow for a smoother start to the school day.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as the city completes this important safety project. Our goal is to ensure that drop-off and pick-up are as smooth as possible during this temporary closure. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. See attached map for more details.
Thank you,
Adrian Mayes
The Sexual Health and Responsibility Education Unit will be taught November 18 - 22, 2024 by the PE department to students currently enrolled in PE. A general overview and outline of the district’s age appropriate, abstinence-based sexual health & responsibility education curriculum can be viewed on the district website under the Students & Parents Heading then scrolling to the Comprehensive Health & Physical Education link. Complete details including the slide presentation and videos can be previewed at the school anytime during the school day if you would like to view it. If you do not want your child to participate in the sexual health & responsibility unit or a specific portion of the unit, you must bring the signed exemption form to the front office in person. By School Board Policy and SC Comprehensive Health Education Law, students who exempt sexual health & responsibility education will be required to complete other health-related self-study lessons.
To change your address, phone numbers or emergency contacts:
Use your Backpack account to update your contact information. You’ll need to scan a copy of a recent utility bill* or Change of Address Form. Please notify the school directly as you must provide two proofs of residency.
If your child will be a bus rider, you’ll also need to indicate that in Backpack or complete the Transportation Form, which is available on the district website.
*All address changes must include a current bill dated within past 30 days from either Duke Energy, Laurens Electric, Piedmont Natural Gas, Spectrum, or Greenville Water System. The bill must show the service address, not just the mailing address. If the bill is not in the parent’s name, please contact Guidance for additional information. Please bring paper copies to the Guidance Office or fax info to 355-6275. We cannot change your address without this documentation.
Questions? Please contact the Guidance Office at 355-6268. Thank you!
