Investing in Our Students. Supporting Our Schools. Building Possibilities.
We are incredibly grateful to SRP Federal Credit Union for investing in the future of our elementary students and educators through its new Investing in Education: Unlimited Possibilities initiative.
At the kickoff event held at the WOW! Club at, SRP Park in North Augusta, SRP Federal Credit Union announced that 83 schools across 10 CSRA counties will each receive $2,500 representing a remarkable $207,500 total investment in local elementary education.
This generous support gives our principals the flexibility to respond to the unique needs of their schools — whether that means providing instructional resources, creating hands-on learning experiences, supporting teachers, or offering enriching opportunities for students.
“This investment empowers our principals to respond directly to the unique needs of their schools and create meaningful opportunities through instructional resources, hands-on learning, and enrichment experiences," Dr. Charlene Heard, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Schools said.
Partnerships like this remind us what is possible when our schools and community come together with a shared commitment to student success. We are proud to have SRP Federal Credit Union investing alongside us and helping create unlimited possibilities for our students!

Over the last six weeks, our school has experienced multiple false fire alarms. Although several repairs have been made, we recently learned that the fire alarm panel must be replaced.
We are working closely with local and state fire officials, the South Carolina Office of School Facilities (OSF), and other partners to expedite the replacement. While the panel is inoperable, we have implemented a formal “Fire Watch” to ensure the continued safety of our students and staff. Designated staff members are conducting and documenting hourly inspections of the interior and exterior of our campus, with particular attention to areas containing mechanical and electrical equipment.
Because the fire alarm pull stations will not activate an alarm while the panel is out of service, any concern involving smoke or fire must be reported immediately by calling 911.
We will share an update as soon as additional information about the repair is available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Busbee Family!
Please join us tomorrow Thursday, August 20, 2026 for our Annual Open House! See our flyer for more details.
All is well on campus from a fire alarm this morning. After many practices in our routine fire drills, our students were quiet, quick, and safe. We followed our evacuation protocol used by ACPSD. We will be dismissing at the planned 1130am time.
hank you to Wagener Fire Dept. and Wagener Police Dept. for keeping our students safe!
Hello Busbee Families, We are currently following procedures for a fire alarm. Everyone did a great job, as Wagener Fire Dept is clearing the building for safety. Thank you!
Mark your calendars!
Wednesday, August 19th will be the first early dismissal day of the 2026–27 school year!
Students will be dismissed early while our teachers and staff use the afternoon for professional development, collaboration, and additional training to support student success.
Get a glimpse into what professional development looks like for our staff here at Aiken County by watching the video on YouTube at:https://youtu.be/RJ6SEXp8wUk .
Good evening, Bulldogs!
We have seen improvement with students arriving on time and ready to learn! Classes begin at 7:30 a.m., and students are considered tardy beginning at 7:35 a.m. Getting your student to school on time helps us maximize learning, and we greatly appreciate your support!
Morning Car Line Reminders
We have seen an increase in the number of car riders this year. Safety is our #1 priority, and we need everyone’s help to keep our morning car line safe and moving efficiently.
Please focus on these three things this week:
Please do not drop students off in the parking lot. This slows down the car line and creates visibility concerns with vehicles moving through the parking lot. Please use the designated drop-off zone.
At the stop sign, please turn RIGHT ONLY during the posted times. Follow all posted signs and directions.
Please have your child ready before reaching the drop-off zone and pull all the way forward. This allows us to unload multiple vehicles safely and keeps the line moving.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to keep our Bulldogs safe!
Additional Reminders
Thank you to our wonderful cafe staff for helping with our meals! This includes our new breakfast on the go, if students are coming in after classes are picked up.
Student Sign-In/Sign-Out: Any parent or guardian signing a student in or out must bring a photo ID to the front office.
Upcoming Events: Please mark your calendars for our upcoming events. Additional information can be found in our previous post.
Follow Busbee PTO facebook page for updates!
📅 Early Dismissal — August 19
📅 Open House — August 20
Thank you for your continued support, and Go Bulldogs!
