Monday, April 8 will be an eLearning day for Greenville County Schools students due to the solar eclipse.
The eclipse window, when there is the greatest potential for students to damage their vision, coincides with elementary and middle school dismissal times. With student safety being the top priority, this was the best option across all levels.
Schools will not have outdoor activities or athletic practices until after 4:00 PM. There will be no extended-day programs or after-school club meetings.
Because GCS is an approved eLearning district, this day will not have to be made up and instruction will be provided through Google Classroom. Students will complete eLearning assignments later if they are unable to participate due to lack of internet service or other barriers.

El lunes 8 de abril será un día de eLearning para los estudiantes de las Escuelas del Condado de Greenville debido al eclipse solar.
La ventana del eclipse, cuando existe la mayor posibilidad de que los estudiantes dañen su visión, coincide con los horarios de salida de las escuelas primarias e intermedias. Con la seguridad de los estudiantes siendo la principal prioridad, esta fue la mejor opción en todos los niveles.
Las escuelas no tendrán actividades al aire libre ni prácticas deportivas hasta después de las 4:00 PM. No habrá programas de día extendido ni reuniones de clubes después de la escuela.
Debido a que GCS es un distrito de eLearning aprobado, este día no tendrá que ser recuperado y la instrucción se proporcionará a través de Google Classroom. Si los estudiantes no pueden participar debido a la falta de servicio de internet u otras barreras podrán completar sus tareas de eLearning después.

This year, Mauldin Middle will be using LiveSchool, an app that will help us share behavior feedback with you and your child. This has replaced the former PRIDE card system and has an added enhancement of rewarding students for positive behavior. Adults in our building use the web-based program or app to assign negative points to students as a result of poor choices, and add positive points to a student account for Preparedness, Respect, Impulse Control, Determination and Empathy.
By setting up a LiveSchool account, parents are able to receive weekly emails with data on:
We will be working hard to make this the best school year yet for your child! To learn more, please visit whyliveschool.com for a short video introduction to the service.
All students will be given a LiveSchool access code for their parents on Monday. Please ask your students for the flyers. You should receive a double-sided letter explaining LiveSchool and a paper with the access codes for both parents and students. Parents are provided two codes for split households. Also, you may add siblings to the same account. Students can access their LiveSchool accounts through their Backpack/Clever account.
