Freshmen Parent Information Nights (Parents Only) will be held on Tuesday, August 20th, and Thursday, August 22nd both dates will offer the same information. This will be held in the auditorium at 6 PM.

For the upcoming school year, all BCSD schools will use Rooms as their direct communication tools for parents, teachers, athletic coaches, club advisors, etc. Because Rooms is located in the Berkeley County School District mobile app, this streamlines communication and minimizes the number of apps parents and guardians need for communication. If you haven't already, download the BCSD app today and turn on notifications so you never miss a message.

Berkeley County School District (BCSD) has postponed the first day of school to Thursday, August 15, giving teachers and staff more time to prepare and students an extra day of summer break. This decision comes after recent severe weather and flooding prevented access to school buildings for three days, disrupting traditional classroom and school preparation time for teachers and staff. “We value the dedication of our teachers and staff in preparing classrooms and schools, and this additional day will allow them to better prepare to receive more than 38,000 students on Thursday,” said BCSD Superintendent Dr. Anthony Dixon. “Last week, teachers completed virtual professional development and training so now they can focus on classroom and school needs Monday through Wednesday.” School and district offices will be open regular hours, and extracurricular activities and athletic programs will also operate according to their normal schedule. Information and schedules for school specific meet the teacher and grade specific orientation days have been shared with families by school leaders. Dixon added, “We understand that disruptions in schedules are not easy for anyone so we appreciate the understanding of our parents and community as we work to ensure that the first day is the best it can be for students and teachers on Thursday.” Any weather day adjustments necessary as a result of this calendar change will be reviewed and communicated, if needed, at a later date.

Salt Marsh Restoration Program Cane Bay High School students have been part of the South Carolina Oyster Recycling and Enhancement (SCORE). This program is a community-based habitat restoration and monitoring program of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Since 2017, over 250 students from Mr. Richter’s Environmental and Natural Resources Management Career Pathway under the CTE Program have contributed to planting saltmarsh grass and putting out bundles of oyster shell bags that is part of saltmarsh restoration program along South Carolina’s coastline. Oysters are critical to South Carolina’s ecology, economy, and culture, and oyster shell is the best resource to sustain oyster populations. Recycled oyster shell is placed back onto the shoreline during large scale plantings with volunteer-based oyster reef builds. Saltmarsh grass is planted along the shoreline just above the re-cycled oyster shells. Over 25 students participated on May 2nd at historic Charlestown Landing, again contributing to the saltmarsh restoration program by planting over 100 saltmarsh grass seedling plugs (all of which were propagated by students at the school’s greenhouse/aquaponics). Students are already looking forward to next year’s trip.
