State Standardized Testing to Take Place Prior to the End of the School Year
South Carolina College-and Career-Ready Assessments (SC READY) in English/Language Arts and Mathematics (grades 3-8); South Carolina Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (SCPASS) in Science (grades 4 and 6) will be administered to students in grades 3-6.
There will be no penalty at the student, teacher, school, district or state level for a student who does not complete the applicable assessment(s).
“If a family determines that it is unsafe for a student to attend school for the sole purpose of taking a test, we will not penalize them, their teacher, or their school," said Molly Spearman, SC Department of Education (SCDE) Superintendent.

Teaching Children Bicycle Safety
Your child rides a bicycle—that’s great! Bike riding is fun, it’s good exercise, and it can give your child a sense of independence. But a bike is a vehicle, not a toy. So you and your child need to know how to ride safely. Three important things you can do to keep your child safe are:
- Have your child wear a helmet every time he or she rides a bike—no exceptions.
- Teach your child the rules of the road to keep him or her safe while riding on the street.
- Make sure your child’s bike is kept in good working order.
