Teacher Appreciation Week May 5 - 9
As we approach the end of the school year, it's remarkable how quickly time has flown by. With just a month remaining, our students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will be undertaking their SC READY assessments. These assessments play a vital role in evaluating our students' progress and are significant for both their academic journey and our school's performance. It's imperative that students are punctual and present on each testing day. To encourage attendance, students will receive a reward for being on time and present for testing. As testing will occur in the morning and early afternoon, we kindly ask you to reschedule any appointments to ensure students are present and ready to do their best. We urge you to ensure your child gets adequate rest and a nutritious breakfast before coming to school. Breakfast will be available each morning in the cafeteria. We recognize the dedication of both our students and teachers in preparing for these assessments, and we are eagerly anticipating their performance.

🎉 Principal & Assistant Principal for the Day! 🎉 Byrd Elementary had some very special leaders in charge last week! 👏 Meet Alania and Karter, our Principal and Assistant Principal of the day! 🏫✨ These two outstanding students were the top fundraisers in our playground fundraiser, and we couldn’t be more proud! Alania raised the most and spent the day working alongside Mrs. Enlow, getting a firsthand look at what it takes to run a school. Karter, our second-highest fundraiser, job-shadowed Mr. Davis and took on the role of Assistant Principal like a pro! The admin team loved having the extra help, and Alania and Karter did an amazing job navigating a busy day at Byrd! Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraiser and helped make this a fun and memorable experience for our student leaders. 💙🦅 #LeadershipInTheMaking #ByrdPride #StudentSuccess #PlaygroundFundraiser #PrincipalForADay #WeAreByrd

We are thrilled to welcome back a familiar face in an exciting new role! Please join us in celebrating the return of Christen Sikes as the new Assistant Principal at Byrd Elementary School. Mrs. Sikes is no stranger to Byrd—her passion for students, deep understanding of classroom instruction, and unwavering commitment to excellence have always made her a standout educator in our school community. With 17 years of classroom experience and the past 4 years serving in the Human Resources department, she brings a well-rounded perspective to leadership. In her most recent role, Mrs. Sikes supported induction teachers and led district work around ADEPT evaluations and SC Lead, further strengthening her impact on education across Aiken County. Christen’s extensive experience at both the school and district levels makes her a valuable asset as we continue to grow together in our mission. Her return marks not only a continuation of her strong connection to Byrd but also a new chapter of collaborative leadership. She is known for her ability to build strong relationships and foster a positive, student-focused culture that uplifts both staff and families. A proud Graniteville resident, wife to an Aiken County native, and dedicated mother of three, Mrs. Sikes is deeply rooted in our community. Her heart for service and her drive to support students and educators make her an incredible addition to our administrative team. Mrs. Sikes will officially join Mrs. Enlow and Mr. Davis in early July for the start of the 2025 -2026 school year, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome her back—this time as a key member of our leadership team who knows our school, our students, and our vision inside and out.

💜 Celebrating The Month of the Military Child 💜 April is "The Month of the Military Child," a time to honor and recognize the unique challenges and strengths of children in military families. Did you know that there are approximately 40,000 elementary students in South Carolina with military parents? These brave kids often face the difficulties of moving from school to school, making new friends, and adapting to different environments. Let's take a moment to celebrate their resilience, courage, and the friendships they build along the way! We encourage everyone in our community to reach out and show support for our military families this month. Thank you for your service and dedication! 💖 #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild #MilitaryFamilies #SupportOurTroops
