GREE-We're seeing a large increase in illnesses, including strep and flu. If your child has any strep or flu symptoms, PLEASE, keep them home until they are 100%. Our nurse is overwhelmed with sick students and needs your help by keeping sick children home. Students will be excused with a parent or doctor's excuse.
Aiken County Public Schools will return to in-person learning and work tomorrow, Friday, January 24; in an abundance of caution, all schools and offices will begin the day on a two-hour delayed start.
In preparation for a decision on tomorrow’s operations, our leaders have driven hundreds of miles across the county. Daytime temperatures are beginning to increase, melting snow and drying most roadways. However, it would not be possible to investigate each and every road that families and employees may travel tomorrow, and there are possibly secondary roads and well-shaded dirt roads that may remain unsuitable for travel.
Please use additional caution when traveling to school and work tomorrow, avoiding less-travelled secondary routes, where possible. The safety of our students, staff, and families is of most importance; please reach out to school leadership with any concerns. Families in our more rural areas, please stay tuned for possible school bus pickup location changes that may be necessary.
Important Details for tomorrow:
• Student Meals: With the delayed start schedule, only lunch will be served tomorrow in our cafeterias.
• Half-Day & Partial-Day Programs: Students on half-day and partial-day schedules, including Early Learning Special Education students, are encouraged to attend school if possible, however school bus transportation will not be available as buses will be unable to run mid-day routes.
• No Before-School Activities: No activities will be permitted before school starts on the two-hour delay.
• After-School Activities: Afterschool care through QuestZone will be held tomorrow, as well as other activities planned for after school hours if scheduled by event organizers, club sponsors, coaches, etc.
• Aiken County Career and Technology Center: Morning session students should report to their high schools. The afternoon session will continue as planned.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back in-person tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and flexibility!
Congratulations to our snowman winners! They each win a gift card to Marble Slab Creamery! All those that participated will get a popsicle treat at school!
1st place-Titan Bing
2nd place-Ryles Whitehead
3rd place-Isaiah Glover
All winners and participants will receive their prizes next week.
ACPSD E-Learning/Remote Workday Thursday, January 23
We hope you’ve had an opportunity to enjoy the snow and that the assignments for e-learning today have been worthwhile practice. In collaboration with local Emergency Management officials, district administration is monitoring the impact of Winter Storm Enzo. Based on current conditions of significant snowfall accumulation in many areas and predicted freezing temperatures overnight, Aiken County Public Schools will continue in an e-learning format tomorrow, Thursday, January 23.
With travel concerns for students and families, as well as teachers and staff, tomorrow will also be a remote workday for employees. Just like today, teachers will be available for student questions and support with e-learning assignments.
We apologize for the disruption that continued e-learning tomorrow may cause, and appreciate your support and understanding.
The safety of travel conditions will be reevaluated mid-day tomorrow with the hopes that conditions will allow for a safe return to in-person learning for Friday. An update on our district’s operations for Friday, January 24, will be announced no later than 4 p.m. tomorrow.
Thank you again for your flexibility.
Mr. and Mrs. Barker made their snowman and can't wait to see yours! ☃️❄️
Don't forget to send us your snowman pictures. It's a beautiful, cold day! Enjoy it, but be safe and stay warm!
We're so excited that the snow has finally started sticking, with more to come. With that being said, we want you to have a little fun! Make your best snowman or girl and send us a picture on FB Messenger. We'll make another post tomorrow with all the pictures we receive. Then you can share it and ask your friends and family to vote on your snowman or girl by simply clicking "like" under your picture. The top three winners, with the most votes, will win a really "cool" prize!
Have fun, but stay warm!!
Pictures need to be sent to us by 2:00pm tomorrow☃️
With snow expected across our county today and into tomorrow morning, all Aiken County Public Schools will transition to e-learning and a remote workday tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22.
Student e-learning will be available online, and our teachers are available for support. Should your student have any questions, difficulty, or need assistance with their e-learning assignments, please reach out.
While snowfall is not expected to continue beyond tomorrow morning, temperatures are predicted to remain well below freezing. Accumulating snowfall may impact our district’s operations for Thursday. A decision on operations for Thursday will be announced by 4 p.m. tomorrow, and will be made with the safety of all students, families, and employees at heart.
As always, we are grateful for the flexibility of our school community. Please be safe, and stay warm and tuned in to any further updates that Winter Storm Enzo may cause for our operations this week.
January is School Board Appreciation Month. Mr. Jim Broome is an amazing advocate for our school. We appreciate you, and all you do for our little school, Mr. Broome!
GREE-Just a reminder that we will dismiss at 11:30 today. Please be at your child's bus stop or car line on time.
