Are you getting ready for Spring Cleaning? Beta club will be collecting "gently used" sneakers and shoes to be shipped to 3rd world countries. This will benefit other countries and also act as a fundraiser for the club as the company taking the shoes will give us money based off of footwear sent in. So as you are cleaning those closets out to make room for spring clothes, any sneakers/shoes/footwear can be brought to 7 Red Community.
IMPORTANT! Student ID's & Success Criteria
We appreciate the immediate response from parents regarding addressing ID fines. Sustainability is the key to success here. As a reminder, we sent home any outstanding fees owed by your Firebird attached to their 2nd Quarter report card. You may also have your student access their Destiny account to see what fees are owed. These fees will follow your student into high school. It is a Greenville County Schools expectation that all students maintain a visible ID at all times during the school day and while they are in attendance at GCS extracurricular events. If your student has fines in excess of $50, they will be asked to report to ISS. We will be looking at our existing Success Criteria which is the criteria by which students are held to that would determine their eligibility to attend incentive-based activities. We will be sharing the updated Success Criteria with you very soon and plan to utilize it for the remainder of the spring. Please make this a priority to talk with your student about being responsible with their ID's and work to get any outstanding fees taken care of as soon as possible.
Parent Back Pack
Parents are strongly encouraged to create a Backpack account for their children. Greenville County Schools uses Backpack to provide parents with the most recent news and information about our schools. The Backpack for Parents account also provides parents, guardians, or contacts with a central place to sign in to:
- View their student's information including demographics, attendance, classes, grades, lunch balances, and test scores
- Apply or register their student to Special Focus schools and programs (Fine Arts Center, Career Centers, etc.)
- Receive alerts and notifications regarding their students
- View their student's school and contact information
- Manage parent and contact information for their students

Rising 7th Graders- Get Your TDAP Vaccine Now for 2024-25
IMPORTANT NOTE
Parents of rising 7th Graders should make getting your child's TDAP shot a priority this winter and spring. It will be extremely difficult to get into a clinic during the summer months and virtually impossible the closer we get to school starting. Scheduling an appointment now increases your likelihood of getting in and prevents your student from being excluded from school.
