Hello SFM Parents and Guardians,
“Student access to SC Discus, South Carolina's Virtual Library, was temporarily restricted in February in response to parent concerns regarding age-appropriate content. This step was taken in accordance with S.C. Code Regs. § 43-170, which requires school districts to ensure digital and print resources meet educational and age-appropriateness standards.
District leadership collaborated with key stakeholders, including the South Carolina Department of Education and the South Carolina State Library, to conduct a review of SC Discus. As a result, access to SC Discus was restored on high school student devices prior to the start of the school year. The district has also determined that SC Discus will be available on middle school student devices beginning on January 15, 2026.
If you do not want your student to use SC Discus, please complete, sign, and return the opt out form to your child’s librarian.

If you approve your child’s access and use of SC Discus on their BCSD issued device, no action is required.”

We have recently observed multiple vehicles parking along Charles B. Gibson while waiting to pick up students. This practice creates a serious safety concern for our students, staff, and community.
For the safety of all, students must be picked up through the designated car rider line only. Parking along Charles B. Gibson to collect students is not permitted.
Effective immediately, we are implementing measures to discourage this unsafe behavior. If your child is a car rider, please ensure you enter and remain in the official car rider line for dismissal beginning today.
Student safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation and support in keeping our dismissal process safe and orderly.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cowan
