Drop Off of School Items
DROP OFF AND PICKUP JUNE 1-4
CLICK HERE FOR FULL INSTRUCTIONS, A MAP OF THE SCHOOL CAMPUS AND SCHEDULE OF DROP OFFS
Our drop off and pickup days are June 1-4. We will be organized in alphabetical order by grade level teams. We have created nine scheduled times per day. A map of the school indicates where grade levels will complete the following tasks:
· Return chrome books and chargers
o Fully charged
o Removed from the bag (if the student is in grade 6 or 7, he or she may keep the bag to use next year)
o We will not be collecting chrome book bags this year
o If you received a replacement chrome book during eLearning from the Golden Strip or other career center, please let us know when you return the chrome book. All chrome book bar codes and chargers will be scanned.
· Return library books, textbooks and other materials
· Return athletic uniforms and any other sports equipment
· Pickup paper bags with items left in lockers
o Any awards received on May 28th and 29th will be placed in the paper bags
o Yearbooks (if received in time) will be placed in the paper bags.
· If there are any more outstanding instruments that need to be picked up, please contact Mr. Scott and Ms. Norton so we can have them ready for parents and students.
We have planned for 1,025 students to both pick-up and drop off items. We realize there may be conflicts in your scheduled times. We would greatly appreciate everyone reporting to the school at the assigned times if possible to accommodate the number of students scheduled. If the allotted time is not feasible for you, please do your best to arrive on the day your team is scheduled. We have everything organized by grade level teams and in proximity to the assigned drop zones. We also realize some families may not be able to get to the school before 6:00 PM. On June 4th our hours will be from 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM to accommodate anyone who needs a later time.
If you are planning to be out of town the week of June 1st and need to make other arrangements please call the main office and leave a message (355-6100).
Please adhere to the following guidelines when you arrive:
· Please Follow the traffic pattern outlined on the map when entering the campus
· Remain in your vehicle at your Drop Zone
· The vehicles will be served in the order arrived. The flow will be very similar to a drive thru window. When the lead car exits, the next vehicle will pull up to the Drop Zone.
· Please follow the traffic pattern on the map when exiting the campus

2020 ACE Character Awards
GCS Schools Closed Until End of the School Year
The Governor announced that all South Carolina schools, including Greenville County Schools, will remain closed through the end of the 2019-20 school year. Students will not return to in-school instruction this year, but will continue with eLearning through the last day of school on Thursday, June 4, 2020.
The decision to remain closed is for the protection of our students and employees, as well as for public health reasons. The rule for social distancing, which requires limiting close contact with others and remaining six feet apart in public places, cannot be maintained on school buses or in school settings.
