Weather make-up days on Feb. 17, March 17 will be in-person

WEST COLUMBIA, SC -- Last week’s snow and ice has moved on, so we’d like to share some information with you regarding missed time:

— A reminder that we are planning two (2) in-person instructional days to make up for time missed earlier this year due to Helene – Monday, February 17 (makeup day for September 30) and Monday, March 17 (makeup day for October 1). Again, both of these weather makeup days are in-person instruction on regular school-day schedules.

— Two days previously scheduled as early release for students – Wednesday, February 5, and Friday, March 14 – will now be full instructional days. These two days will start and end on normal school day schedules. Educators, please note that details about professional development sessions previously scheduled for these two afternoons will be communicated later.

— Report cards, originally scheduled to be issued on Thursday, March 20, will now be issued on Thursday, March 27.

Given that we still have several months remaining in the school year, there is certainly a possibility that inclement/unsafe weather conditions could result in additional missed time. Should this occur, we will work with our Board of Trustees and communicate plans with you.

If you have any questions, please talk with your school administrator.
