Techie Time
Photosforclass.com makes locating images and attributing their source a snap! All images are "G" rated and appropriate for the school setting. But the best part...the image citation is part of the image itself.
Kobie Wilkerson
Kobie Wilkerson visited with our students on September 8th and 9th. Our Pre-K, K, and Montessori class loved getting moving with Kobie!
DLE Laptops
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students received their DLE laptops on August 29th, and they are super excited to begin using them. If you haven't turned in your permission form and $30 please do so as soon as possible so your child may bring their device home to do schoolwork.
Website
We have a new, updated website. Let us know what you think about it. You can find it by visiting www.gadsden.richlandone.org.
Did you know?
Did you know that you don't need wi-fi to use a computer at home? There are plenty of ways your student can use their DLE laptop without internet. They can write in Microsoft Word, complete worksheets, read books they have downloaded from our library, and so much more! If you have questions, contact the school at 803-353-2231 and ask for Mrs. Miranda Williams or Mrs. Neely Swygert.
