Reporting of Potential Threats
GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats. The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support.
We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.

Pay Student Debts Online
Did you know you can pay your student's debt online anytime using MySchoolBucks? The system has a guest checkout feature, so you don't even need a log-in or password!
When your student receives a debt notice, please pay close attention to what the lost/damaged item is and the exact amount due. You will need this information prior to entering the MySchoolBucks site. The system will not reflect your student's personal debts.
Any fees not paid will follow your student throughout their time in Greenville County Schools and may impact future privileges (high school parking passes, prom tickets, etc). If you have located any items listed as lost, we encourage you to return the item so the fee can be waived!
Note: MySchoolBucks funds added to or available in lunch accounts cannot be applied to debts listed below.
Please select the appropriate link below to instantly pay your student's debt online:
