Wallace Gregg kindergarteners are moving up! The Kindergarten Completion Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 24 at 10:00 am, in the McNair Auditorium at Francis Marion University. We hope to see you there!

The 5th Graders at Wallace Gregg will have their "Final Walk Through" on Wednesday, May 24 at 12:45 pm. These students will walk the halls at WGE for a final farewell. Staff and students are invited to join the celebration. Balloons, flowers, and congratulatory signs are welcome.

Starting today, F1S parents are able to register their children for 4K at RN Beck, Woods Road, Dewey L. Carter, and Brockington.

This is a brief survey about our school’s school counseling program. We want your voice and input to make sure Wallace Gregg students are receiving the best possible services. Please use the link below and complete the School Counseling Needs Assessment so we can make sure our counseling programming best meets the needs of our kids. If you have any questions or concerns please call the school to speak with our counselor, Ms. Williams. Thanks!!

At Wallace Gregg Elementary we pride ourselves on being the school, “Where Greatness Exceeds Status quo.” The Eagle Handbook will provide valuable information and clear expectations for parents and students and will allow our students to SOAR (Be Safe. Show Ownership. Show Acceptance. Show Respect.) This is our goal for each of our students, as we strive to prepare them for the 21st century.

Class Dojo is an online platform where teachers, students, and families use messages, photos, videos, and online portfolios to connect and celebrate students. At Wallace Gregg, Class Dojo is the primary form of communication between families and teachers. Students are awarded ClassDojo points for following procedures and expectations or for going the extra mile. Points are removed as consequences for not following procedures and expectations. ClassDojo points can be redeemed monthly for prizes at the ClassDojo store or can be saved to attend an end-of-the-year PBIS celebration.

Homework is an extension of previously taught material and topics. This year, Wallace Gregg Elementary School implemented a uniform schoolwide homework policy to ensure students have the opportunity to meet daily homework expectations. On the first school day of the week, homework sheet (pictured ) will be sent home with each student outlining the expectations for each day of the week. Homework will be checked daily by teachers. Homework will be checked for completion each day. All homework assignments should be completed daily. If a student misses a homework assignment during the week, then the student has until Thursday night to complete all homework assignments missed on Monday through Wednesday.

Timeframe Expectations for Homework:

• Grade 1: 30 minutes or less

• Grades 2-3: 45 minutes or less

• Grades 4-5: 20 minutes per academic subject

Wallace Gregg Elementary strives to create a respectful environment where all students take ownership of their responsibilities, are accepted by others and safe at all times. As a result, WGE expects all EAGLES (students, visitors, parents, and community members) to follow Florence One Schools Dress Code located in the Student Code of Conduct.

Dress Code

District students are expected to dress, be groomed, and otherwise conduct themselves in such a way as to not distract or cause disruption to the educational program or orderly operation of the school.

Personal appearance and conduct of students should promote health and safety, contribute

to a climate conducive to teaching and learning, and project a positive image of the district to the community.

School administrators will be responsible for determining violations of this policy. The principal reserves the right to amend any provisions that he/she deems to be in the best interest of the student or the educational process.

The administration will make the final judgment on the appropriateness of a student’s clothing,

appearance, and/or display of symbols, messages, or statements on school grounds and reserves the right to prohibit students from wearing any articles of clothing or other items or displaying any symbols, messages, or statements which lead to or may foreseeably result in the disruption of or interference with the school environment.

The following guidelines shall be observed:

references may not be worn at any time.

• Shirts, tops, blouses, etc., must cover the midsection and not show cleavage.

• Shorts, skirts, etc., must be long enough so that when hands are extended by the side, the

student does not touch skin. Garments should be of adequate length to assure modesty

when the student is seated or engaged in school activities. Skirts, shorts, dresses, and shirts

must be worn with any form-fitting attire such as leggings, leotards, tights, or jeggings and

multiple-fingered rings (rings welded together resembling brass knuckles or rings that can

be used as a weapon), studded bracelets or collars, nose/lip to ear chains, etc. No medallions

will be worn larger than the student’s ID badge. Unusual body piercing that is disruptive

to the order of the school or is a distraction to the learning environment will not be allowed.

No wallet chains or other type chains that may be dangerous or disruptive will be allowed.

• All clothing is to be worn appropriately and as designed.

Car Rider Dismissal is "soaring to new heights."

Fast lane will be for parents that have checked in on the School Dismissal Manager app. It is the right lane (lane closest to the building). All parents that do not use the app to check in will use the left lane (lane closest to the parked cars). All parents should have received an email from School Dismissal Manager regarding log in information. If you did not receive the email, please contact the Ms. Reed at 843-664-8481 or email sreed@fsd1.org. Please also be reminded that this application should be used for changing student's transportation for a specific day.

Thank you to all the parents, faculty, staff and students for helping to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal process!
