On Wednesday, we will have our 8th grade promotion ceremony. This is a ticketed event. Students were given their tickets last week. Each guest must present their physical tickets in order to enter. No ticket, no entry. We do not have additional tickets and can not replace lost tickets. Guests will not be allowed into the building until 8:30am. Students, including 8th graders participating in the ceremony, must be seated in home base by 8:30am. Drop off for all students will be on a regular system and schedule. Guest must use the front entrance to enter the school, starting at 8:30am.

***For the safety of students, staff and guest, there will be NO early sign outs allowed on Wednesday, May 25th for all grade levels. This is a half day of school, but no students will be allowed to sign out before dismissal. Parents joining us for the promotion ceremony will take their 8th grade child with them directly after the ceremony. They will not return to classes.

8th grade students will NOT come to school Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday we will dismiss students at 11:15. Please make arrangements to pick up your child no later than 11:30am on Wednesday and Thursday if they do not ride a bus. Thursday is the last day of school for the 2021-2022 school year.

Please reach out if you have questions or need clarification.

Effective immediately (2/25/2022), the South Carolina Department of Education and the Lancaster County School District will no longer require the use of masks by students and staff on state owned and operated school buses. As is the case with school facilities, the Lancaster County School District strongly encourages, but does not require masks on school buses.

Below are the links to the COVID-19 Response Forms that must be filled out if you have been exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms and then the form to request to return to school.
