🚗🐍 First Day Traffic Reminder

As we welcome our Cobras back to campus, please take a moment to review our traffic and parking map before arriving at Cane Bay.

A few important reminders:
• Car riders should enter using the designated Car Rider Entrance.
• Please do not use the student/staff parking area for student drop-off or pick-up.
• Golf carts and e-bikes should use the designated parking area near the stadium.

Our Staffulty kicked off the year with a little island fun during our Hawaiian-themed staff development! We enjoyed a friendly game of Name That Tune, spent time connecting as a team, and heard from our principal about the core values that will guide us throughout the school year. Here’s to a year of building relationships, supporting one another, and creating an incredible experience for every Cobra.

SCHOOLCASH INFORMATION:
Berkeley County School District uses SchoolCash Online for all school items and activity fees. SchoolCash Online helps our school district in many ways: parents can manage all school fees and items for their students in one location and have the convenience of a secure online payment platform, and the schools improve safety and reduce risk by minimizing cash and check payments at our schools.

Benefits to parents and schools
You will help increase efficiency and security at your school by making payments directly into your school's bank account. This limits the number of people entering the school, reduces risk of lost payments, and allows teachers and office staff to focus on helping students and not counting cash. In addition, you are automatically informed about school activities!

How to register
Registering takes less than two minutes! Visit our SchoolCash Online site and click Register. Parents who have created an account and attached a student to their profile receive an automated notification when any item becomes available for their child. This will help reduce the amount of overdue and forgotten payments and make payments easy to track.
