Greetings Parents and Families of the Colleton County School District.
As we embark upon the Holiday Break, we will continue to emphasize academic learning as our main focus. Although there will be various events and activities this week, please encourage your child to continue to do their very best academically, behaviorally and socially. We know this is a season of excitement and sometimes students may involve themselves in behavioral actions they would normally not do. Please join us in encouraging your child to institute safe practices at all times during the school day and at after school activities. We want to close this semester with high academic achievement and no behavioral issues so we can begin the new semester on January 7, 2025 focused on learning.
Friday, December 20, 2024 will be a half day of school. Please check our website for dismissal times at each location.
Thank You for your continued support as we work together to prepare every student for success!

A light meal was provided for participants to enjoy as the meeting started.

The parent forum collaborated to create a plan to promote the positive things happening in the Colleton County School District.They plan to spread the word about the great things happening at our schools & in the district and use #CCSDOntheMove to draw attention to the district on Social Media platforms. They ended the meeting with an action plan in place and a challenge to bring a friend to join the next parent forum.
