A Message from Dr. Reavis

Greenville County Schools is fully committed to preparing our students for their futures. One of the key initiatives driving this effort is Graduation Plus (G+), which starts with our youngest students and continues until graduation. G+ focuses on creating career- and college-ready students.

At the elementary level, our counselors help students explore their interests through a Career Interest Inventory, which helps identify activities they enjoy that may lead to future career paths.

An important goal of G+ is to ensure that all students are reading on grade level by the end of 2nd grade. Recently, our 2nd-5th graders completed the second district benchmark assessment in reading and math. Teachers use these results to guide instruction for their classes. Based on the most recent data, we are only 5% away from meeting our student achievement goals for the year!

We greatly appreciate the support you provide at home. Simple actions such as reading daily, establishing strong study habits, and reviewing homework together can make a significant difference in your child's progress. Thank you for your continued dedication and partnership!

 

For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis

See Something. Say Something.
