Good Afternoon Tiger Family,
Over the last several days, the district has experienced an uptick in the number of COVID-19 positive cases across the district, which has resulted in students and staff having to quarantine. Because of the increase in positive cases across the district and after consulting with DHEC, they have recommended that the district transitions to eLearning/virtual learning effective Friday, August 27 through Wednesday, September 8. Students will complete all assignments from home from August 27-Sept. 8th and will return to face-to-face instruction on Thursday, September 9, 2021.
All schools, district office and buses will undergo a deep cleaning for students and staff to return safely on Thursday, September 9th. These measures are put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of our students, staff, parents and the entire community. Lunches will be delivered on Tuesday and Thursday of next week to specified drop off locations.
All athletic practices and competitions are suspended until September 8th.
Thank you,
Dr. M. Gilmore, Superintendent
