MAKE-UP DAYS - Friday, October 19, 2018 & Monday, February 18, 2019, designated Weather Make-Up Days on the 2018-19 District Calendar, will be utilized to recoup instructional time lost due to school closings related to Hurricane Florence. The South Carolina Code of Laws requires school districts to designate annually at least three days within their school calendar to be used as make-up days in the event of snow, extreme weather conditions, or other conditions requiring schools to be closed. At a minimum, Aiken County Public Schools is required to make-up the first three days of school missed for an event of this nature.
