Daniel Island School

We are thrilled to recognize Meredith Moore as this year’s Daniel Island School's Teacher of the Year. She goes above and beyond every day to create meaningful, engaging experiences for our students—not only in PE, but through her incredible work with our Renaissance Team and Special Area Team. Her dedication, creativity, and collaboration help bring special events to life and make our school a place where students feel excited, included, and celebrated. We are so grateful for her energy, leadership, and the positive impact she has on our entire school community.

Congratulations to Mrs. Droh and the 15 middle school chorus students that represented Daniel Island School at All County Chorus this year! On January 31st, students rehearsed and performed a wonderful concert with other students from across the district. We are so proud of their hard work! 

Good evening,

Our gym heating unit is currently not working. If you plan to attend the Trident basketball games tonight or tomorrow, please plan to layer up with additional clothing or wear a heavier jacket.

Although our basketball teams are on a hot streak right now, the gym itself will be very cold.

Thank you, and have a great evening!

Spring has sprung! We hope all our students have a safe and fun spring break! Students will return to school April 21.

Parents and guardians, Today, our administration received a report regarding the possible presence of ammunition in a student's backpack on campus. Administrators, with support from the school resource officer, immediately investigated the matter. Upon investigation, empty/spent ammunition cartridges were found. However, no weapon was located, and there were no reports indicating the presence of a weapon. The investigation determined that the backpack had been used over the weekend for recreational purposes, and the empty cartridges were a result of that activity. The school was not placed on lockdown, as the student was promptly isolated, and there was no immediate threat to campus safety. District and school staff followed all established procedures in accordance with District policies. At no point was any student harmed or threatened. The safety and security of our students remain our highest priority, and we take all reports of potential safety concerns seriously. We encourage families to partner with us by checking their child's backpacks and jackets to ensure no prohibited items are brought onto campus. We appreciate students who help to keep our campus safe.
