Crew's News
April 1 - April 5
Announcements & Reminders:
I am in need of a few chaperones. Please be mindful that if you plan to chaperone, you will need to have the volunteer background check verified and up to date. You will need to be able to walk 2-4 miles (possibly in the heat) at the zoo. Chaperones are not able to bring other siblings or guests who have not had the background check. They need to be ready to interact and facilitate learning experiences for a small group of students (usually 3-4). Chaperones also need to drive to the zoo separately and pay admission of about $13. We will depart India Hook promptly at 8:00 and return by 4:00.

April Special Area Calendar
School Board Approves School Calendars
At the December 17, 2018, Board of Trustees business meeting, the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school district calendars were approved. In the event SC State Law is changed to allow an adjustment to the school start date, district administration may request a change to this calendar. However, in being considerate of all involved, should it become an option to adjust the start date district officials will be mindful of the timing and the amount of flexibility allowed.
