Who can participate? All students can submit artwork! They are judged in two divisions: K-2 & 3-5. Other accessible divisions are also available for each of the above grade ranges.
When is the submission due? Entries are accepted now through January 2nd, 2026.
What are the categories of submissions? Categories include dance, film, literature, music, photography, visual arts, and accessible arts. Refer to the PTA Reflections Flyer for more information on the categories. All entries must be original work created this year.
Specific guidelines and rules are linked on the entry form (printable entry form).
American Education Week
American Education Week is an annual celebration of public education held the week before Thanksgiving. It honors educators and school staff, informs the community about the needs and accomplishments of public schools, and gains support for education. Established in 1921, the week includes special daily themes and encourages community involvement. See our American Education Week Flyer for our daily themes and participation details.
1st & 2nd Grade MAP Testing
MAP Growth is administered in Greenville County Schools for various reasons. First-grade students are tested according to a SC legislative provision, which requires them to take interim assessments. MAP Growth is also administered at the 2nd-grade and other grade levels as one dimension for Gifted and Talented identification. See our MAP Testing Flyer for more information.
Selected 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade students received an invitation letter to participate on October 27. This letter must be signed and returned for your child to participate. Contact Dr. Hever with questions. shever@greenville.k12.sc.us
All 1st-grade students will need headphones for MAP testing.
Students should be at school before 7:45 or before 7:30 to eat breakfast.
Students should be well-rested and at school if they are not sick.
