We want to encourage all of our students to read at home for at least twenty (20) minutes every day! Your child can read independently or with you. Books are beer when you cuddle up and read with someone else! Consider reading aloud to your child and talking about the book together. Enjoying a good book with your child is one of the best ways to nurture a love of reading! Reading proficiency is the number one indicator of school performance. ERIN’S LAW The South Carolina Legislature passed legislaon in 2014 known as Erin’s Law. This law requires that South Carolina school districts extend their current mandated educaonal programs regarding personal safety, abuse educaon and prevenon curriculum to students in pre-kindergarten through twelſth grades. The goal of the Erin’s Law curriculum is to teach students to avoid situaons that may lead to abuse and to report any instances of abuse they may have endured. Please read the parent leer found here for English and here for Spanish. A copy of the curriculum is available in the office for parents who wish to see it.
