Weekly Update
11.30.2020
Good Afternoon, League Academy! I trust you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! I had a great break and I am thankful for being able to return to school today. I have a few reminders as we move further into the week.
Students who are eligible for the after school and Friday remediation program got letters on blue paper last week. Please send these back or fill out the form online to accept your position in the program. This program is for students who need help getting their grades up or making up work. Those students who need transportation will be able to ride a bus home. Bus transportation will begin this Friday. Please submit your forms. Email Mrs. Rigot for questions at erigot@greenville.K12.sc.us.
League families please remember that we are phasing in our brick and mortar students to a five day a week plan. 6th graders attend face to face in-person school Monday through Thursday this week while 7th grade students in the blue and green groups attending Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and students in the purple and red groups come to school Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Beginning next week and continuing until Winter Break, 6th and 7th graders will be back for in-person learning four days each week. 8th graders begin their phase-in the week of December 7. That means they attend by color groups Monday and Tuesday then all return for face to face instruction on Wednesday and Thursday. The week of December 14 grades 6, 7, and 8 will attend school in-person Monday through Thursday. Grades 6-8 will return to full-time in-person school five days per week starting January 4. None of the changes to the GCS attendance plan impact students in the Virtual Program.
Please be sure to let us know if you have any questions.
Have a great day, League Academy!

Principal

Good Morning, League Academy!
I have some information for you all before we get out for the break! First, I would like to thank all of you for making Monday a success. We were able to welcome all of our 6th graders back to school all on one day! It was great! I would like to thank you for your patience as we iron out the kinks of having more students in the building. Thank you for your patience in the car line and for understanding that we have protocols that we must follow.
As we move into the holiday season, I would like to remind everyone that despite community spread, spread remains low in Greenville County Schools and especially at League. Not one case of COVID has been exposed or spread at school. We have done an excellent job of wearing our masks, social distancing, and reporting exposures and positive cases. I would like to keep it that way! If you or students are exposed over the holidays, please don't wait to report. Please email me at makander@greenville.k12.sc.us. I will respond over the break.
Additionally, GCS has created the COVID pledge as we move into the holiday season. We would like to get these pledges back from all of our students and parents. We have made it easy for you all to sign the pledge. Just click on the form link below and follow the instructions. It is also posted on social media and our website.
COVID Pledge: https://forms.gle/k7jP7oaCghR9K9MU6
Additionally, we have sent letters to students who qualify for our after school program and Friday remediation program based on having high numbers of NHIs and if students are failing classes. Please confirm acceptance of your student attending the after school and Friday program by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/f24LqRj4XKmkgg9j8 Transportation will begin on December 7. For questions regarding the afterschool program please contact Erin Rigot at erigot@greenville.k12.sc.us
We would like to wish every one of you a happy and safe Thanksgiving! Stay well!

Attention 8th Grade Parents:
ALL 8th grade students, along with a parent/guardian and a school counselor, are required to participate in an Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) conference. This is a state-required meeting to discuss your student’s current career interests and review important information in preparation for high school. IGPs will start October 6th, and we’d love for all students to have a parent/guardian or an appointed trusted adult attend their meeting! Parents click here to schedule your conference using Calendly.
