Important Carline & Tardy Policy Update:
To help things run more smoothly and reduce confusion, the car line will be blocked off at 7:30am. If you arrive after 7:30, you will need to park in the lot and walk your child to the office to sign them in as tardy. To avoid delays, we recommend dropping your child off between 7:10 and 7:20, when the line is shorter. PLEASE do not park in the roadway/driveway and block other cars. If your child is tardy and you need to park, please park in a marked parking spot.
Please remember:
Park in marked parking spaces only.
No loading, unloading, or parking along the yellow line, driveway, or near the crosswalk.
Do not block the fire lane (new signs are posted to remind you).
We appreciate your patience as we adjust during this transition to our new and improved car line!
Happy School Counsleor Day to two of the best! Your Redcliffe Family loves you!
Congratulations Coach Baker for being selected by the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association to be part of the SC Baseball All-Star coaching staff!!! (Shared from SBHS Facebook.)

Attention Parents and Guardians:
Please expect a change in the traffic pattern within our car line as the crew continues to make progress on the new car line. Please use the open lane only. Thank you!

#ACPSDcelebrates #STARSOfPublicEducation
Attention RES Sweetheart Pageant participants: here are the pageant practice dates. The pageant will be held Thursday, February 13th! We can't wait to see you take the stage!
The RES Bear Cubs Glow in the Dark Party is still on for TODAY, Friday, January 24th! Drop off is at 4:30 and pick up is at 5:45pm. Tickets go home today for grades 5K-5th. Sorry no refunds available and no tickets will be sold at the door. Tickets had to be bought in advance!
Our Mother-Son Date Night will be Friday, January 31st @ 5:00pm. We will offer a professional photo opportunity, a movie screening, AND a dance party in the gym, allowing students to choose one or both options. THE DEADLINETO PURCHASE TICKETS IS MONDAY, Jan 27th BY 9am! Tickets will not be sold at the door.
ACPSD will return to school Friday, Jan. 24th, on a 2-hour delay. Teachers & staff are to report by 9am. Students are to arrive between 9 & 9:30 am. ONLY LUNCH WILL BE SERVED, no breakfast. Please remind your child to bring back their laptop & charging cord in their school issued laptop bag on Friday 1/24. Thank you!
Aiken County Public Schools will return to in-person learning and work tomorrow, Friday, January 24; in an abundance of caution, all schools and offices will begin the day on a two-hour delayed start.
In preparation for a decision on tomorrow’s operations, our leaders have driven hundreds of miles across the county. Daytime temperatures are beginning to increase, melting snow and drying most roadways. However, it would not be possible to investigate each and every road that families and employees may travel tomorrow, and there are possibly secondary roads and well-shaded dirt roads that may remain unsuitable for travel.
Please use additional caution when traveling to school and work tomorrow, avoiding less-travelled secondary routes, where possible. The safety of our students, staff, and families is of most importance; please reach out to school leadership with any concerns. Families in our more rural areas, please stay tuned for possible school bus pickup location changes that may be necessary.
Important Details for tomorrow:
• Student Meals: With the delayed start schedule, only lunch will be served tomorrow in our cafeterias.
• Half-Day & Partial-Day Programs: Students on half-day and partial-day schedules, including Early Learning Special Education students, are encouraged to attend school if possible, however school bus transportation will not be available as buses will be unable to run mid-day routes.
• No Before-School Activities: No activities will be permitted before school starts on the two-hour delay.
• After-School Activities: Afterschool care through QuestZone will be held tomorrow, as well as other activities planned for after school hours if scheduled by event organizers, club sponsors, coaches, etc.
• Aiken County Career and Technology Center: Morning session students should report to their high schools. The afternoon session will continue as planned.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back in-person tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and flexibility!
