CogAT Aptitude Assessment Opportunity
Each October, Greenville County Schools offers the CogAT aptitude assessment for students who reside in Greenville County but are not currently enrolled in a SC public school that offers aptitude testing. If a non-GCS student wishes to be evaluated for SC gifted and talented qualification, including admission to the Charles Townes Center, the student may register to take the CogAT aptitude assessment with Greenville County Schools. This year's session will take place October 14, 2024 from 8:30-12:30 at the Sterling School. Registration is required.

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.
We understand the tragedy in Winder, Georgia has created great concern among students, parents, educators and the community. After such a horrific incident, it is common to see an increase in reports of potential threats locally and across the nation. The District and the Sheriff’s Office continue to work closely to fully investigate all reports and diligently follow established safety protocols. In order to effectively utilize school district and law enforcement resources, we ask parents closely monitor their children’s social media accounts to ensure that students report concerns directly to the school or to law enforcement and not repost them on social media or share with classmates. The single most effective preventative tool regarding school safety is the See Something, Say Something protocol, which all schools in the district utilize. If your child sees or hears something that is concerning, they should say something to an adult or report it online using the See Something, Say Something icon on their Chromebook. Both the district and law enforcement are seeing the same messages shared repeatedly on social media, and often the same message is edited to replace the school name and then reshared again. When students or adults repost messages on social media and don’t report through the appropriate channels, it perpetuates fear and creates additional safety issues. It diverts resources from the school and law enforcement, complicates investigations, and makes it challenging to share accurate information with parents in a timely manner. Threats made towards schools, whether intended as a joke or not, are a crime in South Carolina and can result in serious legal consequences for students or adults.
Superintendent Royster shares, “The District, school administrators, and staff take all potential threats seriously and continue to work alongside law enforcement to fully investigate all reports. When addressing school safety across our district, it is critical to have a layered approach with multiple measures. We appreciate the Sheriff’s Office and other local law enforcement agencies working with us to ensure we have the most effective safety measures and protocols in place. We thank parents and the community for helping to address this issue.”
Sheriff Hobart Lewis assures the community, “We are fully committed to maintaining the safety and security of all students and faculty within Greenville County schools. Our School Resource Officers are present in every school, working diligently to ensure a safe learning environment. In light of recent nationwide threats, we remain vigilant in our duties and take all threats seriously, investigating each one to the fullest extent. We are grateful for the strong relationship and communication we have with the Greenville County School District, and we will continue working together to protect our schools and keep our children safe. Remember, if you see something, say something.”
