We are so excited to see all of our Gators back together for another school year. We look forward to our students meeting their new teachers, making new friends, and reconnecting with their old ones.

I have a few updates and reminders to Gator Parents:

Breakfast and lunch are available to all our students free of charge. Please encourage your child to start each morning with a healthy breakfast. Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day. Your student may want to bring an extra set of clothes in the event of a spill, wardrobe malfunction, or dress code violation. We are unable to provide clothing to students.

If your child has a life-threatening allergy or medical condition, please be certain to report it to the school nurse. If your child requires rescue medication at school, please consult their pediatrician.

To prevent the spread of illness, please do not send a child to school when they are sick.

Immunizations: Current 7th graders. Please be certain to submit proof of your child's Tdap vaccination, which is a statewide requirement. Students who are not immunized will be unable to attend school. An immunization notice was sent to all parents of rising 7th graders if a current working phone number, address, or email address was available in Power School. Students without an updated SC Certificate of Immunization are subject to suspension after September . Religious Exemptions obtained from SC DHEC are accepted.

Please contact me with any questions. My email address is mkeller001@horrycountyschools.net, office phone fax 843-903-7463, 843-236-8065.

All students in Horry County Schools will receive free breakfast and lunch for the upcoming 2026-27 school year as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program.

Students will still have the option to purchase additional meals, food & snack items, and beverages at à la carte prices. À la carte items can be paid for in cash or by prepayment on the student’s cafeteria account. Charging for à la carte sales is not allowed. Prepayments can be made by cash or check at your child’s school cafeteria or with a debit card by setting up an account at myschoolbucks.com. Any charges remaining on a student’s cafeteria account from a prior school year are still the parent’s responsibility. If needed, payment arrangements for larger balances can be made by contacting the school cafeteria manager.
