Reminder: Registration is Due for 2020-2021 School Year in Parent Portal
Starr Elementary is looking for a long-term certified substitute for the 2020-2021 school year!
Please contact Melissa Davis, Principal, for more information.
As of July 31, 2020, the South Carolina Department of Education mandated:
"Students and staff in South Carolina public schools must wear a face-covering upon entering a school building, moving through hallways, during carpool/bus drop off or pick up, and when social distancing is not possible or optimal. Student face coverings may be removed upon teacher or administrator direction while in the classroom or during special activities outside the classroom."
This mandate follows our mask policy stated by Mrs. Hipp in the superintendent update last week. Masks will be provided for students when boarding buses or before entering the school building if they do not have one.
If you have questions about the SCDE mandate, view the guidelines here: https://bit.ly/SCDE-Masks

Tomorrow's registration day is only for new students to the district and to help assist parents having trouble registering their child online in the parent portal. You do not need to come if you have already registered your child online. We will not be giving students their teacher assignments tomorrow. They will be given out the week of August 24-28. We will be notifying your child by phone this year. We will also have a virtual "Meet the Teacher" day. More information to follow.
Please read the information about registration carefully. If you have any questions, contact the school at (864)352-6154.
Today is the last day to complete our "Parent Declaration of Intent" form so we may have a better understanding of our families' needs. If you have more than one child that attends Anderson 3, please fill out a form for each student.

The first day of school is August 31st. We will be sending out more information at a later date.
The online registration in the parent portal is now open. Please go into the parent portal and register your child for school. You will need to complete the online registration if you are planning on sending your child to school or attending the A3 online program.
