It's A FINE Thing To Do!

The library is having a Food for Fines drive.  Students who owe money for an overdue library fine may bring a canned good to pay for their fines.  Each canned good is worth $1.00.  Canned goods cannot be used to pay for textbook fees or a lost library book.

So bring a can to “pay” your fine and help out local food banks at the same time!  It’s a “fine” thing to do!

End of the Year Reminders
As the school draws to its end, please remember this information:
Parents should pick up their student's medication in the Health Room by June 6.  Any medication remaining will be disposed of that afternoon.

Check the Lost and Found room for any items that may have gone missing during the school year.  All items left after June 6 will be donated to a worthy cause.

Students who owe money to the school for any reason should pay as soon as possible.  Students will be notified by their homeroom teacher if they owe money for anything (including textbooks, library books, gym locks, cafeteria debts).  The last day that checks will be accepted for payment is Friday, May 17.  Beginning Monday, May 20, all payments must be paid with CASH ONLY!

Spring Concerts
The Choral Concert & PTA meeting will be on Monday, May 20, at 6:45 in the cafeteria.  Come out and enjoy some fine music and support these hard-working students.

Vaccination News

Effective for the 2013—2014 school year, all seventh grade students must have a Tdap vaccination for pertussis (whooping cough).  Parents do not have to wait until their student is in seventh grade because children as young as seven years old may be vaccinated.  Parents will need to provide their child's school with a South Carolina Certificate of Immunization showing their child received this newly required vaccine.
