Principal's Message
Better late than never, I always say.
We are so glad to have our students back in the building. We are excited about the adventures this new school year has in store for us. Activities and events will be constantly updated, so please continue to check us out on Facebook and review our website.
We want to remind you that everything we are doing at Georgetown Middle is designed to keep everyone safe. So, remember to mask up, wash your hands, keep a good, safe distance, and most of all, be patient with us.
Sincerely,
Seth C. Hillman
Back to School Information
As previously stated, Chromebooks should come to school with students and should be charged. Also, with the absence of lockers, students will continue to carry bookbags from class to class. Please limit the contents of bookbags to essential items.
COVID-19 Precautions
We ask that you check your child’s temperature before they leave for school and if they have any COVID-19 symptoms keep them at home until those symptoms no longer are present. Please review the COVID-19 letter for more information.
Virtual Learning
If your child is having keyboard, mouse, or camera issues please contact the school at (843) 527-4495. Unfortunately, we are unable to help with connectivity issues. If you are having trouble accessing Wi-Fi please contact the IT department at the school district. Georgetown County Public Libraries also have Hot Spots that families can check out for up to four weeks at a time.
