Starr Elementary School will have a drive-thru eLearning packet pick-up in the car rider line at the back of the school for additional work and drop-off for completed work on Thursday, April 2nd from 7-9 AM and from 4-6 PM. New packets will only be passed out to K4-2nd grade students and ONLY for 3rd-5th grade students that have not been able to access work digitally. All packets will be available on our eLearning website: bit.ly/A3elearn. There will also be a drop-off bin available outside these hours on Thursday and Friday until 12 PM at the front of the school.
The new K4-2nd grade eLearning packet that your child will receive will contain assignments for six weeks. At this time, your child is only responsible for the first three weeks of assignments. We are providing the additional three weeks in case the school closure is extended past April 30th. Please let us know if you have any questions and we will be glad to help.
You may not be able to visit our school library right now, but we still want you to keep reading great books! First Book has offered free access to their ebook library while our school is closed. All you need is a device! Email Mrs. Moore at moored@acsd3.org to get your access code and instructions.

K4 through 2nd Grade Parents. Just a reminder that tomorrow is a field trip for all K4 through 2nd grade students. Please make sure that students are at school on time, we will be leaving by 8:30. The school will be providing a bag lunch. We are looking forward to this exciting trip.
Anderson Three will be observing an eLearning Day Friday, February 21. Students should refer to your take-home eLearning packet for assignments. As a reminder, students will have five (5) days to complete the assignments. For questions regarding eLearning, visit bit.ly/A3elearn.
Anderson Three is closely monitoring the weather and its impact on our schools tomorrow. Decisions about school closing, if necessary, will be made at the appropriate time to ensure student and staff safety. In preparation for possible inclement weather, your child's teachers have sent home eLearning packets to be used in the case of an actual eLearning day. eLearning preparation does NOT mean that school will be cancelled but allows lessons to be at home “just in case” school is cancelled. Directions for lesson completion and lesson turn-in will be provided by teachers. In the event of an eLearning Day, students who do not return their completed eLearning lessons within five (5) school days will be marked absent. Anderson Three is preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. The A3 eLearning Website has details of the procedures: http://bit.ly/A3elearn
Fifth grade students competed in the annual Jet Toy competition today. Over the past few weeks, students have built their cars and practiced running them to complete the various challenges given. These challenges included accuracy, distance, weight, and time.
Thank you, SC Representative Jay West, for donating $500 to our Robotics Team for their competition trip to Australia!
Starr Elementary and all ACSD3 schools will operate on a 2-hour delay tomorrow (2/7). Our transportation department along with officials will look at bus routes in the morning and notify us of any changes. Please stay safe.
Shout out to our amazing students for their wonderful behavior today during our time in the hallways. A big thank you to all of our faculty and staff for your dedication to our students and for stepping in to help wherever we needed you.
Due to the inclement weather we are dismissing at 2:00. Another wave of storms are supposed to hit later and we want to get all of our students home safely. Thank you.
