This is a friendly reminder that this Friday, December 20th, we will have an early dismissal at 11:00 AM. Please note that only breakfast will be served, and no lunch will be provided on this day. Additionally, Quest Zone will be closed, so please make sure you have arranged for alternative after-school care if needed.
If your child will NOT be attending on the half day, please inform their teacher as soon as possible. This will allow us to ensure their laptop and any necessary materials are sent home with them on Thursday in preparation for the eLearning day on Monday, January 6th.

In a short video released by the district, Superintendent Dr. Corey Murphy provides detailed information on the new state-required Personal Electronic Devices policy that will be implemented as student’s return from Winter Break in January.
Aiken County’s policy will allow middle and high school students to bring cell phones and other personal electronic devices , and accessories such as earbuds and AirPods to school, but they must remain powered off, stored in the student’s backpack or bag, and out of sight during the school day.
Progressive discipline measures will be enforced for violations of the policy. Parents are encouraged to watch this video with their student and discuss the policy and the consequences for students who are in violation. We thank you in advance for your understanding and support!
