Please refresh this page daily for slideshow and announcement updates.
We have reached the final week of school. We are on regular schedule through Wednesday. Our last 2 days of school, Thursday and Friday, are both half days with dismissal at 12:45pm. Breakfast and lunch will be served and busses will run. The last day of our Extended Day Program is Wednesday, May 21st. Pre-Registration for next year’s Extended Day Program is available on our website.
Student Report Cards will be available through Student and Parent Backpack accounts. Report cards will not be mailed.
Awards Days are scheduled: May 21 for 8th Grade, May 22 for 7th Grade, and May 23 for 6th Grade. All Awards Ceremonies are scheduled to commence at 9am in the Gym. Guests will park in the back lot. Doors will open at 8:30am and guests will check in at the Gym entrance doors with their driver’s license or photo ID. Any parent or guardian interested in checking out their student after the ceremony will complete the paperwork to do so at the check-in table. Any student that intends to get checked out by someone other than their parent or guardian will need to bring a written parent note to school. The note should provide the parent’s contact number and signature, and state the name of the person that has permission to check out their student. Students may dress up for this special occasion, but should dress modestly. No strapless, spaghetti strap, open back, low cut, or cropped tops allowed. Shorts, skirts, and dresses should reach at least mid-thigh or lower.
Library Books are now overdue, Students must return all library books and clear any school debts as soon as possible. All debts should be cleared before the end of school.
6th grade Chromebooks and chargers have been collected. If these students did not return them, these items need to be returned before the end of school. Lost or damaged chargers are $35.
8th grade Chromebook return is Monday and 7th is Wednesday. Students should be prepared to return both the Chromebook and the charger.
Yearbook Day is Monday, May 19th! There’s only a few books left to purchase. Students who are interested in buying a yearbook should bring $45, cash ONLY, to Mrs. Blakely in Room 601 to purchase a Yearbook on Monday morning.
The healthroom would like to remind parents that all student medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter, must be picked up by a parent as soon as possible, and no later than 1pm on the last day of school (May 23rd). Per district policy, any remaining medication will be destroyed and discarded after 1pm on May 23rd. Parents may pick up medications from Nurse Amy between the hours of 8am – 3:30pm through May 22nd, and until 1pm on May 23rd.
Parents of sixth graders are reminded that students must have the required Tdap vaccination in order to attend 7th grade next year. 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. Parents should plan ahead and schedule as soon as possible. Families that wait until summer to try and schedule an appointment may have a difficult time scheduling in a timely manner, as this vaccination is required by all SC schools and the demand is very high during the summer. Please call school RN Amy Snipes with questions at 355-8207.
Students are encouraged to check the lost and found table in the main hall for their belongings. Any remaining items will be donated after 1pm on the last day of school, May 23rd.
Students and parents who are interested in boys basketball summer workouts are asked to fill out the Google Form on Mr. Soemer’s teacher homepage. This is for our falcons that will be in 7th and 8th grade next year.

Students having early dismissals should come to the office upon arrival at school on that day to receive a dismissal pass. A parent note is requested but a pass will still be provided without one. The pass should be presented to your teacher as you arrive to that class and you should leave from class no later than the time stated on the dismissal slip. A parent or guardian must come to the office with their photo ID to sign you out. If someone other than a parent is picking up, that person’s name should be provided on the parent note.
