Thankful & Grateful
Dear Catawba Ridge Families,
Today at approximately 11:40 AM, we were alerted to a situation near our area. As a precautionary action, we closed our campus to exits and entries. Thank you to our students and staff for their calm and professional behavior during the lockout. I want to assure parents that at no time was anyone on our campus in danger and that this was a precautionary measure.
- The end of M2 is Tuesday. Check with your student to make sure they are current on assignments. Help is available in the mornings and through Tutor.com (see below).
- Varsity Football Playoff Game 2 is tonight in Irmo. Follow @CatawbaRidgeNews for updates throughout the game and WRHI to hear the game live.
- As we prepare for a short break to celebrate Thanksgiving, I would like you to know I am thankful for the opportunity to serve our students and families and grateful to you for your support. Enjoy this time with your loved ones and stay safe!
Darren Wilson, Principal
