We will be having Open House on Thursday, September 7th. Please come to hear from your child's teacher about how their classroom operates and what they will be learning this year. Please select one of the session times 5:00-5:45 or 6:00-6:45. If you have more than one student you can attend both sessions. All teachers will do their session twice. Please note, this is a sit down event not a drop in. Please be on time so teachers can start and end on time.
Thank you!

Berkeley County School District is currently monitoring the forecasts and receiving regular updates from Berkeley County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service on Tropical Storm Idalia. At this time, there are no changes to school operations. Any changes to operations will be communicated to staff and parents.
The South Carolina Department of Education purchased and provided Berkeley County School District and other school districts in our state with My Ride K-12 for communication of bus routes and delays. The app has been unable to provide parents with consistent delay information. BCSD is now tracking bus delays for parents using Google documents.
