You are invited to AVID Signing Night on Friday, July 24, 2026 from 6-7 pm in the cafeteria. AVID teachers will discuss the opportunities available, and scholars get to sign an AVID contract!

This is an important reminder to complete registration for the upcoming school year. While we need all new and returning students registered as soon as possible, we are issuing a special call to action for our incoming 5K (Kindergarten) families. Registering your rising kindergartener right now is essential for classroom planning and ensuring our littlest learners have a perfect start on Day One!
New and Returning Student Registration is underway for the upcoming 2026-27 School Year.
Please take a few minutes to review the registration information at www.acpsd.net/register or go directly to your parent portal in PowerSchool at http://aiken.powerschool.com/public.
For returning students, registration takes just a few minutes through your parent portal account as the student’s existing registration information will pre-populate. Please review and change any information that needs updating and ensure that up-to-date emergency contact information is included for each student.
Registering your student now helps us get ready to welcome your student back after the summer and ensure a smooth start to next school year, allowing teachers and classrooms to be assigned to serve your student on day one.
We thank you, as always, for your partnership in an excellent educational experience.
Please see the flyer for additional details regarding event details and documents needed for returning and new students.

In addition to coaching, Coach Anderson serves as one of our SPED Aides, giving him the opportunity to build strong relationships with our student-athletes and support their growth both on and off the court.

PALMETTO CIVICS PROJECT AN INITIATIVE OF THE SC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Families are invited to participate in Summer SC 250 activities as South Carolina prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and our state’s important role in our nation’s history. These summer activities provide meaningful opportunities for students and families to learn, explore, and connect with local and state history. Take part and help celebrate South Carolina’s rich history, heritage, and contributions to our country.
The Palmetto Civics Project is a resource-rich initiative designed to foster students’ understanding of and respect for the institutions that sustain our civic life. Our goal is simple but profound: every South Carolina graduate will leave school prepared to embrace the privileges and the responsibilities of American citizenship.
Please visit SC Palmetto Civics Project to learn more.
