Week Of October 18 - October 25

Well, our first quarter is coming to an end!! And we have had our first field trip off-campus! Woohoo!! Thank you to Mrs. Rush, Mrs. Emokpae, Mrs. Hensley, and Mrs. Littlejohn. They braved the field trip with us this past Monday. The kids had fun and learned a lot. They were also able to show how smart they are and our tour guides were impressed with the responses they were giving.

Green folders came home with graded papers Thursday. Please remember to sign and return graded papers. Their "Reading with the Gamecock" form is due October 21st. Also, remember pictures are Wednesday and Boosterthon is Friday. If you have not had the chance to get pledges, there's still time.

Upper Campus Parent Reminder

All students arriving between 7:30 and 8:05 should be dropped off in the car line at the rear of the school where there are adult staff waiting to greet them and supervise their entrance.

After 8:05, all students must be walked in by an adult and signed in. Students are never to be dropped off in the front of the school.  

If you as a parent need to enter the building at anytime, your child may enter the front entrance with you but you will need to sign in at the kiosk. 

Thank you!

If your student has a deployed parent, please feel free to send a representative as we want to make sure we honor them as well. Service members, we would love for you to please wear your uniform.
