Student Absences

When your child is absent, there is no need to call the school. Please make sure you send a note with your student when he/she returns to school. Absence notes may now be submitted electronically this year by following this link:

https://www.berkeleycountyschools.org/o/bcs/page/absencenote

It is very important to submit a note or send a note for your student.

Also, when your child is absent, calls are made district-wide to let parents/guardians know. If you know that your child is home, you do not need to call the school. It is a courtesy call for families and mainly is applicable to older students, but is a district-wide system.

Guidance Information from Our Counselor, Mrs. Ransom

Character Pillars - Our character pillar for March is CARING. Please remember to wear RED or spring colors on Wednesdays during the month of March.

To celebrate the pillar of CARING, our students will "Sprinkle Kindness" by collecting new items for animals at the Berkeley County Humane Society between March 9 - 20. Please be watching for more information. Thank you in advance for your help!

Attendance - If your child needs to be absent from school, please be sure to send a note when your child returns. If your child has a medical appointment, remember to ask them for a note excusing the time missed. If notes are not received, the absence is marked unexcused and will be addressed by the County Attendance Team.

We are celebrating Irish-American Heritage Month, National Woman's History Month, and Music in our Schools Month during March.
