In collaboration with local Emergency Management Officials, our District administrators are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Debby for possible impact to our county.
Please know that the safety of our students, teachers, staff, and families is our highest priority. Safety will be at the heart of considerations related to our operations over the coming days.
We understand that potential changes to the regular school schedule are unsettling and challenging, especially for working families. Any changes to our regular operations will be shared with as much notice to parents/guardians as possible. New information will be shared via a notification to our new mobile app, phone call, email, text message, website, social media, and local media.
Please also stay tuned to local weather warnings and prepare and take precautions as recommended to ensure the safety of your family during this weather event.
Adult Meal Prices:
Teachers and staff, as well as visiting parents/guardians and guests are invited (and encouraged) to dine in our cafes.
The Child Nutrition Program has just received an updated memorandum from the South Carolina Department of Education regarding Adult Meal Pricing Requirements. These requirements are set by both the USDA and SCDE, and due to our early start to the school year, we did not have this update prior to the first week of school. The adult meal price for breakfast will continue to be $3.10; However, the adult meal price for lunch has been updated and is now $5.30.
Student Meals at No Cost:
For the 2024-2025 school year, families do not need to complete a meal application. All Aiken County Public Schools qualify to participate in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) and all students will have the opportunity to receive a delicious breakfast and lunch at no cost while school is in session.
Help our 4k students learn their colors!
Parents/Guardians/Students: Over the next week, we'll be reviewing the Student Code of Conduct during the school day. Please take a few minutes at home to become familiar with the the rules for your school, as well as the consequences that could result for students who do not follow them. The Code of Conduct is available by scanning the QR code or visiting www.acpsd.net/CodeOfConduct. We are looking forward to a wonderful year, and appreciate your support in following these conduct guidelines that are aimed to ensure we're creating an environment in which effective teaching and learning can occur and that safeguards are in place for the safety of all students, staff and families.
