AREA FIVE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITY INPUT MEETINGS
Aiken County Public Schools is seeking input on a possible master facilities plan for Area Five.

The plan could include 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. The District is also considering 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 25 meeting.

Community members are invited to attend one of two upcoming meetings to learn more and share their feedback:

Thursday, September 10, at 6 p.m.
New Ellenton Middle School Cafeteria

Tuesday, September 15, at 6 p.m.
Jackson Middle School Cafeteria

🍎 September: Attendance Awareness Month! 🍎

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we are excited to celebrate the importance of being at school each and every day! Regular attendance helps students stay on track academically, build positive relationships, develop important social skills, and make the most of their learning experiences.

We want to celebrate with our students who make being at school a priority! Students who have perfect attendance for the month of September will be rewarded with a special popsicle treat!

Let’s make September a month full of learning, growing, and showing up ready to be our best!

Be here. Be a leader. Be amazing! 🐻

Redcliffe Families,
We want to inform you that Redcliffe Elementary will be conducting a lockdown drill this week. While we hope we never experience a real emergency, practicing these procedures is an important part of keeping our students, teachers, and staff safe.

The purpose of the drill is to ensure that everyone understands what to do and is prepared to respond appropriately if a true emergency were ever to occur. The drill will be conducted in a calm and reassuring manner, and our staff will carefully guide students through the process.

There will also be additional police presence on campus during the drill. Please know that this is part of our safety procedures and is intended to provide additional support and ensure the drill is conducted safely.

During the drill, we will remind students to:
• Listen carefully to their teachers and staff.
• Follow directions quickly and calmly.
• Remain quiet.
• Stay in their designated safe location.
• Remain calm and focused.

Our number one priority is always the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Regular safety drills help us prepare, practice, and strengthen our response procedures so that we are ready should a real emergency occur.

We appreciate your support as we work together to keep Redcliffe Elementary a safe and secure place for everyone. Thank you for partnering with us and helping reinforce the importance of listening carefully, following directions, and staying safe.

Sincerely,
Redcliffe Elementary Administration
