State Testing
✏️ Mark your calendars, students and parents! State testing is coming up on the following dates:
- April 22: SC Ready, ELA Writing
- April 30: SC Ready, ELA Reading - Day 1
- May 1: SC Ready, ELA Reading - Day 2
- May 6: SC Ready, Science (6th grade only)
- May 8: SC Ready, Math
- May 13: EOC Exam, Algebra 1
Parents, please make every effort to have your student at school and on time for testing.
Please do not schedule any appointments or early dismissals on these days, as those interruptions distract other students who are testing.
It is extremely important that all students are on time to school on testing days. This means that students should be at school no later than 8:30, but 8:15 is ideal! Students who enter testing classrooms late disrupt the testing process for other students.
Students who are absent for testing or do not finish a test due to an early dismissal will have to participate in makeup testing on the last few days of school. This is when we have fun end-of-the-year activities planned, and we do not want students to miss out!
Makeup Days from Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene was an unusual event resulting in widespread power outages for an extended period of time, which made it impossible for Greenville County Schools, and most districts in our area, to conduct eLearning during the eight days schools were closed.
In accordance with state law, the State Department of Education is requiring districts to make up three of the days missed during Hurricane Helene, which will then allow our local school board to excuse three days and the State Board of Education to excuse three days.
The district administration is proposing a plan to meet these requirements to the GCS Board of Trustees. Upon approval, Greenville County Schools will make up three days missed from Hurricane Helene using self-paced, asynchronous (no live instruction) eLearning on the following days:
- Friday, March 14
- Friday, April 18
- Saturday, May 10
Students and teachers will not need to be online for these makeup days; teachers will provide students with assignments that can be completed within five school days upon return to school.
Details about how self-paced, asynchronous eLearning will be conducted, the complete plan for making up days, and other FAQs are outlined on the Greenville County Schools website.
El Huracán Helene fue un evento inusual que causó apagones generalizados durante un largo período de tiempo, lo que hizo imposible que las Escuelas del Condado de Greenville, y la mayoría de los distritos de nuestra área, realizaran instrucción virtual durante los ocho días en que las escuelas estuvieron cerradas.
De acuerdo con la ley estatal, el Departamento de Educación del Estado está exigiendo que los distritos recuperen tres de los días perdidos durante el huracán Helene, lo que permitirá que nuestra junta escolar local excuse tres días y la Junta Estatal de Educación excuse tres días.
La administración del distrito está proponiendo un plan para cumplir con estos requisitos ante la Junta de Fideicomisarios de GCS. Una vez aprobado, las Escuelas del Condado de Greenville recuperarán tres días perdidos debido al huracán Helene utilizando instrucción virtual autónoma y asincrónica (sin instrucción en vivo) en los siguientes días:
- viernes 14 de marzo
- viernes 18 de abril
- sábado 10 de mayo
Los estudiantes y maestros no necesitarán estar en línea durante estos días de recuperación; los maestros proporcionarán tareas a los estudiantes que podrán completarse dentro de los cinco días escolares posteriores al regreso a la escuela.
Los detalles sobre cómo se llevará a cabo el aprendizaje electrónico asincrónico y a su propio ritmo, el plan completo para recuperar días y otras preguntas frecuentes se describen en el sitio web de las Escuelas del Condado de Greenville.
Change of Information
The Student Emergency Information Form in the start of school student packet is sent directly to the Health Room.
No updates are made to our student database from this form.
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 355-6670. We cannot change your address without this documentation.
