Hello Waccamaw Family!

New GCSD Attendance Policy - Effective 1/11

On January 11 (and moving into Second Semester), the district will implement a revised attendance policy for virtual and remote learning. When students are learning asynchronously, they will have 2 days to complete the assignments to be marked present for the day. If the student does not complete the assigned work for the day during the two-day window, they will be given an unexcused absence. It is at the discretion of the teacher to accept the work for a grade, but the attendance will not change. If you have any questions, please contact the school.


For example, if a student in track A attends both days in person and completes all work while remote for the week, they would be marked present for Monday and Tuesday and virtually present for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Please see the table below regarding due dates of assignment to receive attendance credit.

Note: It is the expectation of GCSD that students attend virtual classes each scheduled day at the scheduled time. Students are expected to participate and have their camera on and directed at themselves during class time.

Cart to Class: Lowes Foods

Cart to Class: Lowes Foods

Each year, as part of our Community Outreach, it's been my great pleasure to participate with our local schools in the Cart 2 Class program. I want our schools to get their fair share of the $250,000 Lowes has earmarked for the schools. But parents and those who support the school must first link their Lowes Foods Rewards Card to the schools of their choice to make that happen. Rewards are based on the amount of Private Label items purchased. Best of all, it costs nothing!
