Dear Copperhead Families,


A few items for your attention:

  • I'm very appreciative of your attention to on time arrivals and attendance. We have noticed a decrease in late arrivals - thank you for your help to ensure our students are in their classes ready to learn at 8:40 AM.
  • Morning drop-off & safety: We ask that students be dropped off on the inside lane along the sidewalk - NOT in the fire lane, which requires the student to cross in front of cars and also blocks the exit lane for departing cars. Please ask your students to have their items ready when they exit. This will help the line move more efficiently.
  • We are raising funds for our Special Services students &Special Olympics through the Polar Plunge! Your support is appreciated, and I look forward getting drenched in ice cold water again this year - ha! See details below.
  • Pageant tickets are now on sale. See info below.

  • Prom tickets go on sale this week through PayFees. Please pay attention to the two deadlines: $40 through 2/22 and final purchase deadline of 3/15. No exceptions! See flyer for more info.

  • Scholarship applications through the Foundation for Fort Mill Schools are open. See below for details.
  • The FCCLA and Beta Club Historic Paradise Foundation donation drive starts 1/23. See flyer below.
