Celebrating Our Principals!
As we wrap up Principal Appreciation Month, we're celebrating the dedicated leaders who make a difference in our schools every day.
Through our Principal for a Day opportunity, community members and local leaders stepped into the role of principal, gaining a firsthand look at the leadership, collaboration, and care that go into supporting our students and school communities. Thank you to those that volunteered for this amazing opportunity.
Hear their reflections and see some of the moments that made this experience special as we recognize the incredible work of our principals on YouTube at youtu.be/yK5kpIdC7Z4 .
Thank you to our principals for all that you do to help our students and schools thrive!

To celebrate the book The Man Who Didn’t Like Animals by Deborah Underwood, which we recently enjoyed reading together in the library, we’re inviting families to join in a fun reading activity!
Choose a book (perhaps a new favorite from the Book Fair!), grab your child and a furry, feathered, or scaly friend, and enjoy reading together!
Take a picture of your family reading with your pet and share it through Apptegy Library Rooms.
We can’t wait to see more families and their pets sharing the joy of reading!
A special thank-you to our PTO, volunteers, staff, and families for helping make the day so special.

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!

On Tuesday, September 1st from 6:00-6:45 pm we will be having our "Dads and Kids" Pizza Night at our school. You will meet here in the school cafeteria at 6:00 pm for FREE pizza and drinks. At 6:20 pm we will have a presentation about our WatchD.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) Volunteer Program.
WatchD.O.G.S. is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student's life. Our goal is to have you spend at least one day (1/2 day or whole day) this school year to be a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eye and ears.
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 .
