Our students in Kindergarten are having a blast while learning with two engaging activities: Colors and Shapes Bingo, and forming letters with geo pattern blocks! In Colors and Shapes Bingo, students enhance their recognition skills by matching vibrant colors and various shapes, all while enjoying a fun game setting. Meanwhile, using geo pattern blocks, students creatively form letters, which helps reinforce their understanding of shapes and improve their fine motor skills. These interactive activities not only make learning enjoyable but also foster important educational development in a playful environment.
Our school district administrators are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Debby alongside Emergency Management Officials. With the extensive rainfall throughout the day today, please note that a change has been made to the report to school and work time tomorrow.
To ensure visibility tomorrow morning for school bus drivers and all who would be travelling before daylight on rain-soaked roadways, some which may be flooded, all Aiken County Public Schools and offices will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, August 7. Due to the delayed start, only lunch will be served in our cafeterias tomorrow.
The Aiken County Career & Technology Center (ACCTC) will not hold a morning session tomorrow. Afternoon sessions will be held as planned.
Students at the Center for Innovative Learning (CIL) will have an adjusted schedule tomorrow of noon-4:30 p.m.
Students on half-day schedules, including Early Learning Special Education students and others, will not come to school tomorrow as buses will be unable to make mid-day routes.
Employees will also report to work on a two-hour delay tomorrow. Employees who report to work at 10 a.m. or later as part of their regular schedule, will report to work at their regularly scheduled time.
In addition to tomorrow’s delayed start, all after school activities for tomorrow, Wednesday, August 7, are cancelled, including practices, meetings, and aftercare through QuestZone.
Employees should plan to complete their workday as scheduled tomorrow, with the exception of employees who may be scheduled to work beyond 5 p.m. All schools and offices will close promptly at 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Please take a few minutes to be reminded of precautions to observe in heavy rain and flooding conditions. Most importantly, if you come to an area that is covered with water, you may not know the depth of the water or the condition of the road or ground underneath. This is especially true at night or when it is dark outside. Whether driving or walking, should you encounter an area covered with water, please turn around. Further information is available at www.weather.gov.
This storm is likely to continue to impact our community over the coming days. We will continue to monitor this storm’s forecasted impact to our county and share any updates related to school operations that may be needed. Please stay tuned to local authorities for precautions to keep your family safe.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience that these changes will cause, and appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation.
As our District administration continues to monitor the possible impact of Tropical Storm Debby to our county, a decision has been made to cancel all afternoon activities for tomorrow, Tuesday, August 6, 2024.
Roughly two inches of rainfall is expected tomorrow, and, with the unpredictability of weather systems, we believe it best to cancel activities planned for after school tomorrow, including afternoon practices, meetings, and aftercare through Quest Zone. We apologize for the inconvenience that this will cause. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we make the best possible decisions with the information that is currently available.
In collaboration with local Emergency Management Officials, we will continue to monitor this storm. Any additional changes to our regular operations this week will be announced with as much advance notice as possible. Thank you again for your cooperation and please remain alert for any future updates.
In collaboration with local Emergency Management Officials, our District administrators are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Debby for possible impact to our county.
Please know that the safety of our students, teachers, staff, and families is our highest priority. Safety will be at the heart of considerations related to our operations over the coming days.
We understand that potential changes to the regular school schedule are unsettling and challenging, especially for working families. Any changes to our regular operations will be shared with as much notice to parents/guardians as possible. New information will be shared via a notification to our new mobile app, phone call, email, text message, website, social media, and local media.
Please also stay tuned to local weather warnings and prepare and take precautions as recommended to ensure the safety of your family during this weather event.
