South Carolina Legislature enacted a requirement that school districts adopt a policy as created by the State Board of Education that prohibits access to personal electronic devices by students during the school day, effective January 7, 2025, when students return to school for Winter Break. Sevier’s current Personal Device Policy aligns with most of the protocols put forth in this action, so the adjustment for Sevier will not be as drastic as other schools. In this state enacted policy, personal electronic devices must be either turned off or silenced during the school day and will be stored out of sight of others as directed by each school. In addition, smartwatches, and other accessories, like wireless earbuds, cannot be worn during the school day. Please review the GCS announcement for more details.
GCS Announcement for SC Legislature Enacting Policy for Personal Device Restrictions at School
Sevier’s Electronic Device Policy is located on page 16-17 of the Student Handbook
As walk-in dismissals have continued to increase, we want to remind our families to please follow the early dismissal procedures to minimize classroom disruptions. Students planning to have an early dismissal should come to the front office upon arrival at school on the day of their dismissal and turn in a parent note. The parent note should contain the time and reason for the dismissal, a contact phone number, and parent signature. If someone other than a parent is picking up the student, their name should be provided on the parent note as well. The student will receive an early dismissal slip as their pass out of class at the time of their dismissal. Those picking up for early dismissal should park in the parking lot and must come into the office with their photo ID to sign out their student. Walk-in dismissals are discouraged as they require staff to interrupt class instruction, which hinders classroom focus and productivity. Students that do not have prearranged early dismissals (by turning in a parent note and receiving a dismissal slip), may be released at class change to minimize class interruptions. The cut off for walk-in and call-in dismissals is 2:30pm (last class change). The cut off for pre-arranged dismissals is 3:15pm, however we recommend scheduling for no later than 3:00pm due to the afternoon car line traffic.

Attention 6th Graders & Parents, DHEC requires all rising 7th graders to have a Tdap ( tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination upon beginning in August. Any rising 7th grader that does not have the Tdap vaccination (or are otherwise exempt) will be excluded from school until proof of vaccination is provided in the form of DHEC Immunization Record. Please plan ahead, and schedule this vaccination as soon as possible and turn in proof of the vaccination on the SC DHEC Immunization record to the front office before the end of this school year. Families that wait until summer to try and schedule an appointment may have a difficult time scheduling as this vaccination is required by all SC schools and the demand is very high during the summer.
