NEMS A/B Honor Roll

District Leadership made surprise visits at schools and offices across the District today to celebrate this year’s Stars of Public Education Honor Court. The recognition program and event honoring ACPSD’s brightest stars first began as our annual Teacher of the Year celebration, and has grown to incorporate recognition of our very best New Teachers, Principals, Assistant Principals, Classified Staff, Professionals, and District-Level Administrators. With its origin in mind, we’ll begin our first Stars of Public Education Honor Court announcements with Teacher of the Year.

Congratulations to our Teachers of the Year Honor Court!

Good evening New Ellenton Families-- Using recommendations from the South Carolina Department of Health, Aiken County School Nurses perform basic vision, hearing, and dental screenings throughout the school year. These recommendations are posted on the district website, www.acpsd.net, under Nursing Services. The purpose of the screenings is to promote health and identify potential problems that may affect classroom learning. In the next few weeks, Nurse Johnson will be doing these screenings for 7th grade students at NEMS. If you do NOT want your child to participate in the school screenings performed by the Nurse, please send a note to the school to opt-out by Wednesday, December 10, 2025. Please call Nurse Johnson at 803-652-8200 if you have any questions!
