Morning Car Drop-Off/Afternoon Car Pick-Up
Please use the following guidelines when dropping your child(ren) off in the morning or picking them up in the afternoon:
- Use the car line to drop children off each morning unless your child needs additional assistance or you are coming into the building.
- Please do not drop children off in the parking lot unless you are walking with them.
- For our children's safety, please do not pass other cars when in the car rider line.
- Always use the crosswalk when walking from the parking lot. We have had several instances of parents breaking out of car line and speeding through the car line area creating an unsafe environment for children being walked across the crosswalk. While we are addressing this issue, we are concerned for the safety of children crossing the crosswalk in the morning.

Erin’s Law and Comprehensive Health Education
Erin’s Law and Comprehensive Health Education:
Section 59-32-20 (B) of the South Carolina Code of Laws
York 3 – Rock Hill School District Overview and Implementation
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The South Carolina Legislature passed legislation in 2014 known as Erin’s Law. This law requires that South Carolina school districts extend their current mandated educational programs regarding personal safety, abuse education and prevention curriculum to students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grades. The goal of the law is to teach children to avoid situations that may lead to abuse and to report any instances of abuse they may have endured.
The intent of the law is to give students skills in knowing how to stay safe from sexual assault and how to report any incidents of sexual assault. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss all health safety topics with their children. Specific to Erin’s Law, The Committee for Children and Darkness to Light (D2L) provides excellent resources for parents and families. Links to these resources are included here:
https://safersmarterfamilies.org
Providing abuse education in schools is not a new initiative. Mandates under the Health Education Act and Internet Safety Education Curriculum require instruction beginning in sixth grade. Erin’s Law simply extends this education into grades pre-kindergarten through twelve. Some sample topics in elementary school include: Self-Esteem and Personal Power, Fitting In and Acceptance, Grooming and Boundaries, Staying Safe in the Virtual World; S.A.F.E.: It’s Ok to Tell.
Our district guidance counselors, health teachers, and physical education teachers, under the leadership of our Lead Clinical Nurse and Associate Superintendent for Planning and Programs, worked together to select developmentally appropriate curriculum that will give our students the knowledge and skills they need to protect themselves. Your child’s school guidance counselor will present age appropriate lessons Pre-K – 5. Parents are welcome to view the instructional materials at Safer, Smarter Kids. https://safersmarterkids.org/.
