Sevier is participating in a Rivalry Canned Food Drive Competition between Sevier and League. We will collect non-perishable food items from December 2nd through December 20th. The winner will be announced at the Sevier vs. League basketball game at Wade Hampton High School on January 8th. Proceeds will go to the McKinney-Vento Project. To add fun and a competitive spirit at Sevier, we will hold our own homeroom competition during the drive. Please help your child’s homeroom win in their canned food drive competition, and in turn help Sevier win in its competition against League! Your contributions are appreciated and will help provide needed food for struggling families. Canned Food Drive List
Attention, Students Only: Bring at least 1 item from the canned food drive list to any of the December home basketball games, and receive free admission!
Students are encouraged to start planning their outfits for the “Countdown to Winter Break” dress themes, which will start December 9th, marking the 10 days until Winter Break. Please review the Dress Theme Schedule.
As walk-in dismissals have continued to increase, we want to remind our families to please follow the early dismissal procedures to minimize classroom disruptions. Students planning to have an early dismissal should come to the front office upon arrival at school on the day of their dismissal and turn in a parent note. The parent note should contain the time and reason for the dismissal, a contact phone number, and parent signature. If someone other than a parent is picking up the student, their name should be provided on the parent note as well. The student will receive an early dismissal slip as their pass out of class at the time of their dismissal. Those picking up for early dismissal should park in the parking lot and must come into the office with their photo ID to sign out their student. Walk-in dismissals are discouraged as they require staff to interrupt class instruction, which hinders classroom focus and productivity. Students that do not have prearranged early dismissals (by turning in a parent note and receiving a dismissal slip), may be released at class change to minimize class interruptions. The cut off for walk-in and call-in dismissals is 2:30pm (last class change). The cut off for pre-arranged dismissals is 3:15pm, however we recommend scheduling for no later than 3:00pm due to the afternoon car line traffic.

The Greenville County Schools Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats.
The Superintendent and Sheriff 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 both school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students. Please read the full details on the GCS announcement page.

Attention 6th Graders & Parents, DHEC requires all rising 7th graders to have a Tdap ( tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination upon beginning in August. Any rising 7th grader that does not have the Tdap vaccination (or are otherwise exempt) will be excluded from school until proof of vaccination is provided in the form of DHEC Immunization Record. Please plan ahead, and schedule this vaccination as soon as possible and turn in proof of the vaccination on the SC DHEC Immunization record to the front office before the end of this school year. Families that wait until summer to try and schedule an appointment may have a difficult time scheduling as this vaccination is required by all SC schools and the demand is very high during the summer. Please call school RN Amy Snipes with questions at 355-8207.
