Parents & Guardians: Here are a few
reminders to help ensure student safety.
If you come to pickup/sign-out your student,
you need to have a current picture ID to show
at the front desk. 2:00 p.m. is the latest a
student may be picked up/signed-out.
Limited campus supervision is maintained from
7:00 a.m. until 7:25 a.m. and from 2:25 p.m.
until 3:00 p.m. Our school policy requires that
all students be picked up by 3:00 p.m. unless
they are in a supervised school activity,
detention, or the Eagles Nest after-school
program.
Students who cannot obtain transportation for
after-school activities at the designated pick-up
times cannot participate.
Parents!!!
Please remember to update your child’s personal
information if it has changed. It is extremely
important that we have the correct contact
information should an emergency arrive.
Kudos to
Mrs. Davis!

Please remember our Summit Field Day is
next Thursday, March 28 th ! Students will
participate in various fun activities in the
gym, classroom, and on the field outside. We will take all
inhalers and Epi-Pens outside for each grade level to be
given as needed. Please make sure your child has
emergency medication at school if needed, along with a
signed permission form from their primary care doctor.
Students should wear sunscreen, appropriate clothes
and shoes for the various events to help prevent injury. I
look forward to an exciting field day!!

Fashion Camp at USC is a unique experience for middle and high school students
(ages 10-18). This week-long course involves "Do It Yourself" designs used to create
new - and revamp old - clothing and accessories. The campers themselves will
design dresses, tops, shorts, accessories, jewelry, bags and more to create a whole
new look, top-to-toe, for the Finale Fashion Show at the end of the week.
Just like last year, the Fashion Show will be a professional catwalk experience at
Columbia Style Week on June 14. We have cosmetology students from the Paul Mitchell
School coming in to provide professional hairstyling and makeup so the campers
are runway ready.
For more information, please visit: http://www.hrsm.sc.edu/fashioncamp/default.html
Contact Coach Bernhagen if you are available to volunteer some time
and help put on a fun and memorable event for our students!
