We are grateful for all the encouragement we received from our parents at Helmet Night.

Parent support is the foundation of our program, and we’re excited to hit the field this season with our community behind us!

The second day of our Teaching and Learning Institute provided valuable information and insight for our teachers to carry with them throughout the school year. There was a Frog Street training for our elementary educators and a co-teaching session led by representatives from the SC State Department. Mrs. Jones offered wisdom to each of our teachers, inspiring them to teach passionately, but also make time for their own self-care. Our teachers also learned how to use Atlas, our new platform for uploading and creating lesson plans. We are excited to see how all the new strategies and technologies will be implemented this year!
Day one of our Teaching and Learning Institute was filled with productive growth and meaningful engagement. Paraprofessionals eagerly participated in an insightful session led by Superintendent Dr. Cave, where they explored the many roles they fulfill. Mrs. Busby highlighted the importance of customer service to our food service team, reminding them of the vital role they play. Staff also received an interactive Promethean board training to build confidence with our new technology. We also welcomed trainers from i-Ready and Discovery Education to lead high-quality workshops and ensure our team receives the best professional development possible.
