It is more important than ever for parents to create a PARENT PORTAL account in PowerSchool. We will now use PowerSchool to better serve our students and families. Important forms, such as the yearly transportation form, will only be available on the Parent Portal. You will also be able to view your child’s attendance and grades.

You should have received an email with the Access ID and Password for those who do not already have an account created. Please follow the easy-to-use guide to create an account for your student(s). You may also find these instructions and the link to create the account on our district website, located under I AM/A PARENT-GUARDIAN/POWERSCHOOL.

If you have not already created an account, please do so as soon as possible. If you did not receive an email with your child’s account information, contact RCE to request this information.

Attendance

Families your children are important to us and we want them here each day!

SC State Attendance Guidelines

• Please remember to submit medical and parent note excuses when your child returns to school. Excuses should be submitted no later than 3 days of returning from an absence.

• 5 Unexcused or 3 Consecutive Unexcused absences are considered truant

• Limit of 10 parent note excuses per year

Early Dismissals from School

If your child needs to be dismissed early from school, please be sure to arrive prior to 2:00 pm. In order to keep everyone prepared and safe for dismissal, we are unable to dismiss students after 2:00 pm.

• Please have students ready when they reach the unloading zone. Use your time in the line to find a mask and get it on, gather book bag and lunch box, put on jackets, etc. The quicker our students exit vehicles, the quicker the line will move.

• Please pull all the way forward to the car in front of you. We aim to have 4 cars in front of the crosswalk. Your children may exit the car once you've come to a stop without the door being opened for them.

• Parents and drivers should not leave their vehicle to assist with unloading students.

• You may use either the front car loop OR the back bus loop for morning drop off. Students may only be walked to the door at the front, since we do not have a crossing guard in the back.
• Students may not be dropped off prior to 7 am. If you arrive before 7:00, your child must wait in the car until an adult opens the doors and comes outside at 7. It is not a safe practice to drop off students before 7:00 because they will be unsupervised.
• The tardy bell rings at 7:40 am. Doors are locked at 7:40, and any children arriving after this must be walked all the way in to the front office and signed in.

• Always exit from cars along the sidewalk curb. At no time are children to exit from the left side of the vehicle.

It is VERY important that everyone follow the zipper method (one car from the left lane, one from the right, one from the left, etc.). When just one person tries to go out of turn, it messes up our loading zone because cars are not at the right lettered cone, and our students become confused. Thank you for following this procedure. If you are not the person picking up your child, please ensure that the person who does understands this.

• Use the "zipper method" to keep the traffic moving...one car from the left, one car from the right.

• Have car tags displayed until your child gets in your car. Visible numbers help us to ensure that students are loaded into correct cars at each cone, and having it ready while in line helps move the line along, rather than having to wait for you to find the number. If you need additional car tags, please email sewing@lexington1.net.

• In the afternoon, parents and drivers should not leave their vehicles to assist with buckling students. Please move up to the gold cone if you need to help your child with buckling. If you need to exit the vehicle for this, please pull into a parking space for your safety.
