The ACPSD Fine Arts Department is offering pottery, Lego Wars, and dance during Fall Intercession.
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) scholars were treated to a special breakfast to celebrate the annual observance of AVID Day (September 18th), which recognizes educators, students, alumni, and partners. AVID members were encouraged to sit with scholars they did not know, and were given the opportunity to introduce themselves and share tips and/or ask questions about being an AVID scholar. A special shout out was given to Julian B. for being dressed for success!
Congratulations to Matt P. for winning a Beanstack challenge. He was able to invite a friend to have pizza lunch in the library.
Area 5 Community Input: We want to hear from you!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Area 5 community input meeting. During the meeting, we shared information on the proposed plan of constructing a middle school addition on the campus of the new Silver Bluff High School to serve students currently attending Jackson and New Ellenton middle schools. We also covered the consideration of renovating and repurposing New Ellenton Middle School as an elementary school for students currently attending Greendale Elementary. School Board members previewed this plan during their August 25th meeting.
If you were unable to attend our New Ellenton and Jackson Middle School meetings, or would like to revisit the information that was presented, the Jackson Middle School presentation is now available on YouTube.
We also invite Area 5 families, staff, and community members to share their feedback through our Community Input Survey.
