PTA General Membership Meeting and K5/1st Grade Performance
Our next student performance and PTA general membership meeting will be TOMORROW, December 4 at 6:00pm in the cafeteria. Participating students will need to arrive in the gym at 5:45pm to get lined up. We are looking forward to their performance!
Holiday Hustle!
To help us have a little fun this holiday season, staff and students are invited to participate in some festive fun. This is completely optional! We hope this brings a little extra joy to this time of year.
Holiday Luncheon for Staff by PTA
Our amazing PTA will be providing a holiday lunch for all staff on Wednesday, December 13 but we need your help! To allow our teachers to enjoy an extended lunch time together, we need two level II volunteers for each class to cover lunch. To get signed up, go to this SIGNUP GENIUS link. To get registered as a level II volunteer, go to this website. Be sure to do the requirements to sign up for level II.
K5 and First Grade Registration
The first registration window for students who plan to attend kindergarten or first grade in Greenville County Schools next year (2024-25) will be held December 4-8, 2023.
Children who will be five years old on or before September 1, 2024 must enroll in public or private kindergarten unless the parent or legal guardian signs a waiver with the front office.

Holiday Assistance
Each year thanks to the generosity of our school community and our community partners, we are able to provide holiday assistance to families that may need a little extra help! If your family is interested in participating, please complete our form as soon as possible. Participation is first come, first serve and is dependent upon donations, however, we do our best to support everyone. Mrs. Kincaid, our school counselor, coordinates the program and all identifying information is kept confidential. She will be in touch with each family that has completed the form in early November. If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Kincaid via email ghkincaid@greenville.k12.sc.us or phone (864) 355-6704.
