Career Development Update
This week we hosted Claflin University. This university has a great criminal justice program. We had some students apply on the spot. What an exciting time at Flora!
Thank you to every student who participated in the district job shadowing day this year! This was an amazing opportunity to explore careers. We had 195 students return their observation forms for this event.

Reminder- athlete insurance fee
Richland One requires a $30 insurance fee to be paid for all athletes. This must be paid prior to an athlete competing against another team. For families with multiple children, there is a $50 maximum per family. These fees may be paid from the "Student Fees" button on your PlanetHS account. Please keep in mind that the fees are automatically generated and are sometimes in error, so any adjustment (family maximum, paid middle school, duplicate fee) has to be done manually. Please email edward.moore@richlandone.org with child's full name for any adjustments that need to be made. If you are unsure- please ask! Once paid, the system will not allow refunds.
