				<link>http://www.jcsd.net/apps/news/article/2180172</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.jcsd.net/apps/news/article/2180172</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[In addition to our districtwide 30 For 30 reading initiative, JCSD students and staff have been working hard Beyond The Bell to improve student outcomes—and the results are promising.

Since launching on January 27, we are now serving approximately 400 students through after-school intervention/tutoring on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. With a 1:10 teacher-to-student ratio, our scholars are receiving targeted, small-group support designed to meet their individual needs.

Students are engaged in meaningful learning experiences including homework support, direct instruction, digital learning platforms, and collaborative small-group work. Our teachers are also working together to analyze student data and set goals, ensuring every child gets the support they need to succeed. Student tutors are even stepping in to provide additional one-on-one and small-group reinforcement.

From poetry slams and recipe writing to math challenges and literacy competitions, learning continues in fun, creative, and impactful ways after the school day ends. 📚✏️

We encourage families to continue supporting learning at home by ensuring students read at least 30 minutes each day and access resources through ClassLink.

🚨 We still have available spots for middle and high school students (with transportation in select areas)!
For more information, contact Dr. Paula Murphy or Mrs. Jasmine Holman.

Together, we are maximizing the potential of every JCSD scholar—Beyond The Bell. 🌟

					<description><![CDATA[During the Jasper County School District Stakeholders’ Strategic Planning session at St. Stephen AME Church in Hardeeville, Reverend Vanessa Johnson recognized a group of JCSD Dual Enrollment students for their academic success. The students all earned A’s and made the Dean’s List during the Summer 2025 semester.

Rev. Johnson gifted each student $100 to celebrate their achievement and encourage their continued success.

“We just believe in supporting our young people in every endeavor, and education is an area we invest in,” said Rev. Johnson. "Whenever we can, you know, from the youngest to the oldest, we just want to see them succeed. And an important part of that success is for them to be well-rounded and educated."

Jasper County School District's Dual Enrollment program allows high school students to take college courses while still enrolled in high school and earn both high school and college credit.

Students recognized include:
AlexE’ah Nelson, Ja’Nya Brown, Ayana Gant, Skyler Badger, Imani Rivers, Joseph Ferguson, Jamie Esquivel, Kara Loyd, Sage Williams, and Kenyatta Singleton.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jasper County families,

Today, a live round of ammunition was discovered in a bathroom during routine safety checks at Hardeeville Junior & Senior High School. Out of an abundance of caution, school administrators immediately placed the campus on lockdown while staff and school resource officers conducted classroom and book bag searches to ensure there were no additional weapons or ammunition on campus. The Hardeeville Police Department also responded to the school to assist with the security procedures.

The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. As an added precaution, additional security personnel will be present on the Hardeeville campus for the foreseeable future. We will also add additional walk-arounds to our normal security protocols. 

As a reminder, Jasper County School District schools utilize metal detectors and bag scanners daily as part of our safety protocols to help mitigate the possibility of weapons entering our campuses. We also work closely with school resource officers and local law enforcement to maintain a safe learning environment.

We appreciate the cooperation of our students and staff as we continue to prioritize safety across our district. Parents, we encourage you to monitor and check what your children are bringing to school. You are the first line of defense. Our students should only bring instructional materials on campus. 
================]]></description>

				<link>http://www.jcsd.net/apps/news/article/2171471</link>

					<description><![CDATA[We want to reassure you that there is no credible threat of a school shooting to our Ridgeland campus. School operations will continue as normal. School Resource Officers are on campus and are actively on duty as everyday.

We are aware of a rumor circulating regarding an alleged threat of a shooting on our Ridgeland campus, and we want to address this matter directly and transparently.

The situation began when one student told another student about a dream in which a third student was going to “shoot up” the school. As the story was shared from person to person, the detail that this statement was about a dream was lost, which contributed to the spread of concern.

As soon as we became aware of the conversation, school and district administrators immediately followed up with the students involved and conducted a thorough review.

After careful investigation, we have determined that there is no credible threat to our campus.

Please know that we take all reports involving the safety of our students and staff extremely seriously, every time. Even when information originates from a rumor or misunderstanding, it is promptly addressed and thoroughly investigated. The safety and security of our students and employees remain our highest priority, and we will continue to remain vigilant in protecting our school community.

We also want to remind families that we have multiple layers of security in place across our campuses. These include the daily use of metal detectors and bag scanners, the presence of School Resource Officers, and established safety protocols designed to mitigate the possibility of a weapon entering our schools. These measures are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment.

We encourage staff and families to remind students to report any concerns directly to school administrators so they can be addressed quickly and appropriately.

Thank you for your continued commitment and support.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[While the winter weather system has moved out of our area, snow remains on roadways. With temperatures forecasted to drop into the single digits tonight, there is concern that remaining snow may refreeze and create hazardous travel conditions.

Out of an abundance of caution and due to the potential for refreeze on roads, Jasper County School District will operate on an eLearning schedule on Monday, February 2, 2026.

A decision regarding school operations for Tuesday, February 3, 2026, will be announced on Monday as conditions are further evaluated.

We will continue to monitor conditions closely in coordination with Emergency Management and the National Weather Service.

An update regarding the status of school operations for Monday, February 2, 2026, will be communicated later this weekend as forecast details become clearer.

					<description><![CDATA[As we kicked off the second half of the school year, there was excitement in the air across our district as we collectively committed to finishing strong as One Jasper. We carried the theme into the first day back with students after our emcee challenged staff to wear sunglasses, and when students asked why, the answer was simple, their futures are too bright.

Our commitment to Finish S.T.R.O.N.G. means we will Support one another, Teach with purpose, put Relationships first, take Ownership, Never give up, and maintain a Growth mindset.

Teachers, scholars, and volunteers across our schools showed that commitment by posing with our “Finish Strong” posters, sharing a message that was clear from classrooms to hallways, we believe in our students, and together, we will finish strong.

					<description><![CDATA[This week's Dual Enrollment spotlight is Denardo Henry. He attends Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence and is a senior. Denardo is an active participant on RSAE's Football team, Student Athlete Scholars, National Honor Society, and Track/Field squad. Denardo is committed to his education and will be receiving a University Transfer certificate, Liberal Arts certificate, an Associates in Art and an Associates of Science in May 2025 from TCL.

Denardo Henry has received the following scholarships: Founders Scholarship (30k), Jairy C Hunter (17k), Presidential Scholarship (17k), CofC merit (20k). He has also received college acceptance letters from Newberry, Charleston Southern, Benedict College, Presbyterian, USC Aiken, Mercer University, Coastal Carolina, University of South Carolina, North Carolina Central, College of Charleston, and Erskine College.

Denardo explains that Dual Enrollment gave him a semi-realistic look at what college life and courses are going to look like. He said the courses were rigorous and occupied most of his time, forcing him to schedule each day and what assignment he was going to tackle that day. Denardo advises future dual enrollment students "to be diligent and don’t get sloppy taking dual enrollment courses." He goes on to say, “It sounds hard and will feel horrible, but it will be worth it.” Denardo plans to attend college to study sports medicine and mass communication. Additionally, he aims to play professional or semiprofessional sports.

Denardo also maintains a job and participate in community service while being a full-time college student and athlete. His community service hours include participating in the Ridgeland Fall Festival (2024), volunteering at Piggly Wiggly (2025), Church Sermon (2025), JCSD Fall Festival (2025), Ridgeland Halloween Festival (2025), trash clean up around RSAE (2024). JCSD is so proud of Denardo and all of his accomplishments. We wish you continued success in your pursuit of higher education and future endeavors.]]></description>

A huge thank you to every gentleman who took time to visit Hardeeville Elementary and Ridgeland Elementary to read with our scholars. Your presence, your stories, and your encouragement were instrumental in instilling the joy of reading in our students.

The events were both productive and inspiring as we worked together to shape the future of education in Jasper County.

Attendees were divided into small groups, with six tables arranged so that each school could host a small audience of participants. Guests received an overview of each school’s state assessment scores and other key data from the state.

Additional tables were hosted by our District Office and Capital Projects teams, where attendees had the opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and engage directly with district experts in a small-group setting.

Together, we are One Jasper, One Goal — ensuring success for every student scholar!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Our team has been busy engaging students in meaningful activities that promote unity, kindness, and healthy lifestyles.

The week kicked off on October 22 with Unity Day, a national observance dedicated to promoting kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Students and staff proudly wore orange shirts to stand together against bullying and to celebrate the power of unity within the school community.

Following Unity Day, we launched Red Ribbon Week on October 23, continuing through October 31. Students participated in a variety of engaging activities focused on goal setting, creativity, and education, including a door-decorating contest and discussions on the history and importance of Red Ribbon Week.

Red Ribbon Week, which began in 1985 to honor DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, serves as a national campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of drug, tobacco, and alcohol use. The initiative encourages youth across the country to commit to a drug-free and violence-free lifestyle.

Through these events, students demonstrated leadership, school pride, and a growing understanding of the importance of making positive choices. The program continues to focus on creating a supportive environment where every student can learn, grow, and succeed.]]></description>

Emergency personnel, law enforcement, medical staff, and district leadership quickly responded and remain on scene to ensure everyone’s safety.

This was a minor accident, and there are no major injuries reported.

Students have either been picked up by their parents or are on a replacement bus continuing home.

If your child experiences any lingering pain or discomfort, please contact your healthcare provider or local emergency services.

We are grateful for the quick response of first responders and for your understanding as we continue to prioritize student safety.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ridgeland Elementary student Christian Roulhac is cashing in on his Perfect Attendance Award with a free haircut at Jay’s Barbershop!

🎓 Students who maintained perfect attendance for the month earned a complimentary haircut or hairstyle from our amazing local barbers and beauticians. 💈💇‍♀️

A huge thank you to our community partners for donating their time and talent to support our students! Your generosity motivates our scholars to show up, learn, and grow every day. 🙌

📚 Why Attendance Matters (especially in early education):

🧠 Builds strong learning habits — Regular attendance helps children develop consistency, focus, and responsibility early on.

🤝 Supports social and emotional growth — Being present builds friendships and a sense of belonging in the classroom.

📈 Improves academic success — Research shows students who attend school regularly perform better in reading and math.

🎯 Sets the foundation for lifelong success — Good attendance habits in elementary school lead to better outcomes in middle and high school.

Let’s keep encouraging our students to show up every day — because every day counts! 💪✨

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.jcsd.net/apps/news/article/2120716</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Last week, students in Mrs. Taylor-Parnell’s fifth-grade math and science class participated in a series of fun, hands-on activities to strengthen their measurement skills.

On Tuesday, students worked in pairs using centimeter rulers to measure various pictures. After recording their measurements, they colored each image to complete the assignment—an engaging way to combine math with creativity and teamwork.

The learning continued with a lively “Metric System Fashion Show”! Each student proudly wore a word representing a unit of measure from the metric system, turning the classroom into a runway of learning. This interactive activity helped reinforce their understanding of metric units in a fun and memorable way.

The students showed great enthusiasm and focus throughout the week, proving that learning can be both educational and exciting!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jasper County Parents and Staff,

In close coordination with the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Jasper County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), we are actively monitoring a developing tropical storm system that may impact our area. Potential hazards include high winds, heavy rainfall, and the possibility of localized flooding.
As of noon today, September 26, 2025, the NWS acknowledges uncertainty regarding the storm's exact track. Current projections loosely indicate that inclement weather could begin affecting our area on Monday afternoon, September 29, 2025.

We will gain greater clarity over the next 48 hours as the system develops. We commit to notifying all parents and staff of our operational status for Monday, September 29, 2025, no later than Sunday evening.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are deeply thankful for the Sun City Veterans Association! 🙏

Their continued generosity is a game-changer for the MCJROTC scholars at RSAE. Commander Dale Dietz emphasized that the donation is part of a mission to help cadets "do good things in life," which is why they presented new Color Guard Rifles and a substantial check. 

This support is essential! It helps fund extra training and pay for field trips to places like Army airfields and Coast Guard bases, ensuring all cadets can participate. 

As 1stSGT Brian Dear puts it, their support is a powerful example of the community actively investing in youth development.

					<description><![CDATA[While many enjoyed summer break, 46 dedicated JCSD students pushed forward by enrolling in college-level courses all summer long — from Public Speaking to Biological Science, English Composition, Art Appreciation, and more!

Not only did they complete rigorous coursework, but many also earned spots on the Dean’s List (All A’s) and Honor Roll (A’s & B’s). 👏👏

This fall, we’re proud to have 91 scholars enrolled in our Dual Enrollment Program and already off to a strong start!

💡 Current sophomores, juniors, or seniors: Want to join this prestigious program? Visit your campus Dual Enrollment Room and see Dr. Murphy to check your eligibility.

🌟 Congratulations to all of our scholars — your hard work and dedication inspire us all! 🌟

					<description><![CDATA[Teamwork truly makes the dream work! Dr. Laura Hickson, Interim Superintendent, joined our transportation team for a productive brunch and strategy session focused on enhancing the rider experience for our scholars.

For over an hour, the team collaborated, shared ideas, and enjoyed a delicious meal while aligning on key priorities:
- Partnering with local law enforcement to address drivers who fail to stop for school buses.
- Ensuring consistent approaches to student behavior on buses.
- Working together to navigate traffic challenges in Hardeeville and during drop-off/pick-up at the Ridgeland Campus.

We’re grateful to our transportation team for their dedication to keeping our students safe and supported every day!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Books for K – Kindergarten Book Giveaway -

Reading is one of the most powerful tools in early childhood education. Books help
build vocabulary, spark imagination, and teach important social-emotional and
academic skills. The most successful books for home or classroom are those that
engage young learners, encourage participation, and deliver meaningful lessons in a fun, age-appropriate way.

On Friday August 29th over 1,000 books were delivered to Hardeeville Elementary
and Ridgeland Elementary School from Book Harvest (Books for K). Each Kindergarten received 10 books of their choosing, and a backpack. These were books that can help spark a lifelong love of reading!

Students will use the books in their classrooms during independent reading time or one-on-one with their teachers. At the end of the 1st Quarter, students will be
allowed to take the books home to begin their home libraries.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The AHJ Regional Library is thrilled to announce our upcoming Summer Reading Program, themed COLOR OUR WORLD!

This year’s program is designed to foster reading and learning throughout the summer, helping to prevent the “summer slide”—the loss of academic progress due to reduced reading and educational activities. Children, teens, and adults are all invited to register and participate, earning prizes for reading and attending engaging library events.

Our Summer Reading Program runs from June 1, 2025, to July 31, 2025, with a variety of exciting programs happening across all our library branches.

Attached, you’ll find a brochure detailing all the Pratt Memorial Library and Hardeeville Community Library Program Information along with registration information.

					<description><![CDATA[Submitted by Hardeeville Elementary School, Dr. Latila Slay-King, Third Grade Teacher



Sofia is the epitome of a model student. She values education, respects everyone, and demonstrates kindness and humility every day. Hardeeville Elementary is better because of students like Sofia. She asks thought-provoking questions and has a vivid imagination. Sofia is also a leader in the class; she shows integrity, which is impressive at her age, and embraces academic challenges. Sofia has already exceeded the requirements for promotion and is a High Honor Roll student! She exemplifies our motto at Hardeeville Elementary. She is not only smart, but she also exudes kindness. Sofia truly "IS" the best! She’s already a winner in my book! Thank you for the opportunity!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To maintain momentum into and beyond the upcoming school year, it is essential for all district leaders and principals to meet. This collaboration will ensure that everyone in the district is aligned and prepared for FY2026, in relation to the district's strategic plan and school improvement plans, as well as for planning the use of federal programs for the 2025-2026 school year.

With this objective in mind, district leaders, led by Dr. Eugene Bellamy, Interim Director of Federal Programs, conducted a full-day session that included several rotations, activities, and discussions. The emphasis was placed on the importance of establishing and maintaining systems that effectively incorporate:

- Collaboration
- Data-driven decision-making
- Parent and family engagement (PFE)
- Stakeholder voice (including teachers, staff, students, parents, and the broader community)
- The interconnectedness of federal spending and the strategic plan
- Continuous improvement: identifying what is working, what is not, and when it's time to pivot
- Evaluative measures at the end of each year: assessing the return on investment
- Federal updates: changes from the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ridgeland Elementary School hosted a successful career day program on Friday, March 21, 2025, for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.

					<description><![CDATA[Our scholars did fantastic work demonstrating, from their perspective, the skills that they are learning in our career center. The Jasper County Career and Advanced Technology Education Center (JC CATE) hosted a luncheon on Monday, Oct. 21st, which brought over 50 local business partners into direct contact with our scholars.

Dr. Stephanie Hart, Director, JC CATE:

"I am extremely excited that more than 50 local business partners participated in the Lowcountry Workforce Success Luncheon. It was vital for my students to have face-to-face engagements with the local business leaders. 

I desperately want JC CATE, one of the best-kept secrets in Jasper, not to be a secret anymore. I want to change the narrative about our students here in Jasper. It was necessary for these partners, who traveled from as far as Greenville, to come and see what our students are learning and what they have to say about the expertise they earned in our career center. I serve one of the best teams here and they put their all into ensuring our students not only learn to gain knowledge, but that they learn to share the knowledge.

I am proud of the phenomenal work that I get to do as the President of the Lowcountry Workforce Board and the CTE Director here in Jasper County. As a result of this meeting, I believe the opportunities for my students will only increase."]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Due to the changing conditions of the storm and projected increased winds, JCSD will have an eLearning and remote workday on Friday, September 27, 2024.  All district buildings will be closed.
E-learning is taking place in order to avoid having to implement a make-up day.
Your child’s teacher and/or school will provide additional information about eLearning. As stated yesterday, all afterschool activities today are cancelled. Extracurricular activities on Friday evening will remain as scheduled as the storm is forecasted to pass by this time. If conditions change, a communication will be sent in a timely manner. Tomorrow’s projected high winds prohibit the safe travel of school buses.
Please stay safe and continue to monitor the district’s websites and social media channels for the latest communications, along with local media outlets for weather conditions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to our very own superintendent, Dr. Rechel Anderson, for the completion of the 2023-2024 AASA Howard Urban Superintendents Academy - Cohort 9! Dr. Anderson participated in her last sessions May 18-19, 2024, in Alexandria, VA. 

We know that she will apply all concepts gleaned to keep her tools sharpened, and her focus on the main thing...our students!

We are proud of Dr. Anderson for remaining a life-long learner, and not letting any of the distractions deter her from serving as JCSD's leader and leading unapologetically for the betterment of all students!

The importance and value of a landmark program such as the AASA/Howard University Urban Superintendents Academy align with historic and current national and local social challenges. The goal of the program is to be proactive, deliberative, and visionary and accept the responsibility of developing effective urban leaders who effectively address equity as a core value. Dr. Anderson has worked tirelessly to transform teaching and learning in Jasper County School District. We know she will represent us well!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thursday, May 16th, Dr. Hart and the CTE Family recognized Jasper County's 73 completers. 

Senior Ms. Lamika Walker, Miss RSAE, Class of 2024, and former completer, Ms. Hannah Reilley, (Class of 2021) were speakers at the event. They both shared words of encouragement to our completers. Ms. Reilley impressed upon the seniors to seize every opportunity and not be afraid to say yes to what makes them uncomfortable when it comes to taking on new challenges.

This year, each completer program on both campuses was asked to submit their CTE Student of the Year for their perspective programs. 

There were five students recognized, and they are as follows: Angelica Herrera for Health Science (RSAE), 
Sole Bennett for Family and Consumer Science (HJSHS), 
Oswaldo Trejo' for Aerospace Engineering (HJSHS), 
Santiago Ortiz-Perez for Information Support & Services (RSAE), and Amariyana Rollins for Cyber Security (RSAE).

The Jasper County CTE Student of the Year is Santiago Ortiz-Perez. We were elated to have board members, personnel from both campuses and especially our parents. We had an amazing turnout and only expect this program to continue to grow.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The resurfacing of the Hardeeville Campus tennis courts is complete. To officially open the courts, our partners and volunteers from Public Tennis Inc. hosted the first lessons for students. 

SSC, the district's maintenance contractor, and Public Tennis Inc. partnered to secure a $30,000 grant from the US Tennis Association to complete the work that included fixing cracks, leveling and painting the playing surface. All of the net hardware has been repaired or replaced.

JCSD appreciates the support from SSC, Public Tennis Inc., and the United States Tennis Association. Thank you for investing in our scholars.

					<description><![CDATA[The core of our educational system is established on the foundational principles of reading and mathematics. These two pillars of learning support teaching and learning worldwide. Therefore, Rechel Anderson, the Superintendent of Jasper County School District (JCSD), along with district and school leaders, gathered to celebrate and acknowledge the staff members at each of our campuses who have done an exceptional job of implementing the Instructional Framework during the 2023-2024 school year.

This observational process, inclusive of a rubric, collaborative decisions, and debriefing sessions from district and school administrators, has resulted in the identification and recognition of one teacher leader from each of the Jasper County School District’s campuses. Each of the selected teachers received a basket and a gift card. Congratulations to each of our distinguished educators. 

Mr. David Wright, Hardeeville Junior & Senior High School
Ms. Karesha Taylor-Parnell, Ridgeland Elementary School
Ms. Walisha Baines, Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence
Ms. Queenie Henry, Hardeeville Elementary School

Dr. Rechel Anderson and the JCSD leaders recognize that “the most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher. More can be done to improve education by improving the effectiveness of teachers than by any other single factor.” 
- Sanders, W. L., & Rivers, J. C.
(1996)

Yes! JCSD’s Instructional Framework is really a big ordeal! More importantly, it’s an even bigger ordeal when professional educators make it come to life!

The ‘Parade’ recognition ceremony is yet another example of the District's Mantra: Student-Centered...Future-Focused!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the coming days, if you have a child in kindergarten, your child will bring home an ID Kit. This kit is yours to keep and is at no cost to you.

In 2022, the South Carolina General Assembly unanimously passed S.1103. The legislation codified the South Carolina Child ID Program as a partnership between the Attorney General and the Department of Education to protect children.

As a result, you will be receiving an inkless, at-home child ID kit. This kit should take less than 10 minutes to complete, never enter a database, and should be stored solely by you, as a parent or guardian, in a cool, dry, safe place at home.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Around 11:30 AM, today, all Jasper County Schools and district offices were placed on a soft lockdown for precautionary measures regarding a threat communicated to Jasper County. There was not a known threat to Jasper County School District; however, because the threat was vague, steps were taken to ensure the safety of all. The lockdown measure permits school staff and the appropriate personnel to coordinate any safety precautions needed. 
JCSD would like to commend our law enforcement personnel, school administration, staff, and our students for working collaboratively. The lockdown was lifted around 1:00 PM.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Summer Reading Camp (available for 2nd & 3rd grade students) (invite only) 

In accordance with the law, every school district in South Carolina is required to identify third-grade students who are not proficient in reading on their grade level. These students must be given the chance to attend a summer reading camp. The summer reading camps will be led by highly qualified teachers who have experience in working with struggling readers. Students will have the opportunity to receive individual and small group instruction to improve their reading, writing, listening, and researching skills. Each school will identify and inform the students who have been selected for this program. Not accepting the invitation may lead to the student being held back in the third grade.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Food and Nutrition 2 students from Hardeeville Junior and Senior High School visited the Culinary Institute of the South, where they met with Chef Damon Dickerson, who gave them a guided tour of the facilities. Students had the opportunity to view various high-tech food preparation areas and students at work and engage in real-world activities facilitated by the institution which had guests being served in their café and bistro. They also had the pleasure of meeting a student presently attending the Institute who was a student in Jasper County two years ago. Chef Dickerson provided valuable information to the students about the different job opportunities that exist in the Food and Hospitality industry. He also shared the average annual salary for each occupation, and emphasized on the places where students can apply for jobs after completing their course of study. Students listened attentively and answered questions promptly when asked. The Technical College of the Lowcountry provides students with a range of programs that can be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis after completing high school. Additionally, students can choose between day or evening classes and also participate in internships. These internships offer hands-on training and real-world experiences, which can be valuable for their future endeavors. Click here to view the Dual Enrollment Webpage.

					<description><![CDATA[Jasper County School District (JCSD) will return from Spring Break on Monday, April 8, 2024. 

As we prepare for the 2024 total eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024, it is important to understand what will occur and how to remain safe.

JCSD will take this opportunity to educate our scholars regarding this astronomical event. The eclipse is projected to occur during dismissal for our elementary students. As a result, our staff members will educate our students regarding how to safely dismiss. 

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.

Safety is the number one priority when viewing a total solar eclipse. Be sure you're familiar with when you need to wear specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing by reviewing these safety guidelines:

Eye Safety During a Total Solar Eclipse

Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s bright face, it is not safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing.

Viewing any part of the bright Sun through a camera lens, binoculars, or a telescope without a special-purpose solar filter secured over the front of the optics will instantly cause severe eye injury.

When watching the partial phases of the solar eclipse directly with your eyes, which happens before and after totality, you must look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a safe handheld solar viewer at all times. 

Always inspect your eclipse glasses or handheld viewer before use; if torn, scratched, or otherwise damaged, discard the device. Always supervise children using solar viewers.

Do NOT look at the Sun through a camera lens, telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while wearing eclipse glasses or using a handheld solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will burn through the filter and cause serious eye injury.)

					<description><![CDATA[Jasper County School District has an impressive number of leaders-in-training, including students Leah Gerald and Sha'Kiyah Jefferson from Hardeeville Junior & Senior High School. These two exceptional students have been selected to attend the prestigious American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls State, which is a leadership and citizenship training program. The program will be held at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC from June 9-15, 2024. 

American Legion Auxiliary Palmetto Girls State is not just an ordinary program but an immersive experience that provides high school students with a hands-on application of government and citizenship. Leah and Sha'Kiyah will participate in mock political activities at all levels of government by creating a mythical state of "Palmetto." This program will educate them about state and local government, citizenship, and public service principles.

At ALA Palmetto Girls State, Leah and Sha'Kiyah will engage in political campaigns, elections, and political processes to simulate real-life scenarios. This approach will ensure that they have a deep understanding of citizenship and public service principles. 

Hardeeville Junior & Senior High School is proud of Leah Gerald and Sha'Kiyah Jefferson for earning this fantastic opportunity. Congratulations to both students!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Parents/Guardians,

We invite you to attend our Dual Enrollment Parent Night presentations for our high school scholars. This opportunity is available to qualifying high school students and could significantly reduce the cost of their college education. By participating in this program, your student can lighten their college course load and explore potential career paths and majors while still in high school. JCSD will cover the cost of your student earning an associate degree or professional certification.

We hope you will consider attending our information session and learning more about this accessible and valuable program.

					<description><![CDATA[Shout out to all our scholars who took advantage of the additional enrichment opportunities provided by our certified teachers. Their investment into their future will definitely bear fruit.

Saturday Academy is an amazing opportunity for our students to come and receive small group instruction via a targeted academic approach. This is also an opportunity for students in Grades 3rd through 8th and students who are enrolled in End of Course Assessments. The goal is to ensure that students whose academic data is below grade level have an opportunity to improve academically and avoid possible grade-level retention.

If you missed the opportunity to sign up for Saturday Academy, there is still time to sign up for future sessions. Contact your student's principal's office to be placed within the program.

I am grateful to be a part of this program and honored to be one of their instructors."

					<description><![CDATA[The middle school students at RSAE took advantage of the STEM experiences by using robots to determine force, motion, mass, and acceleration. Students coded robots to simulate a game of miniature golf and basketball. The scholars also used their robots to stack boxes within a given space using the provided parameters. Students had to determine the amount of force to use with the robot to "putt" a ball into the hole. Additionally, students were challenged to use the robot's arm to stack boxes and "shoot" the ball into the basket. Students used their communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills to work as a team and code the robots.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hardeeville Junior and Senior High School hosted its first official PBIS event on January 8, 2024. Middle school students attended the PBIS Kickoff, where they were introduced to the goals of the HJSHS PBIS Initiative and the C.A.N.E.S. principles: Commitment, Attitude, Noble, Excellence, and Success. Students then had the opportunity to practice what they learned about PBIS with some individual and team challenges. Students earned their first PBIS rewards as they participated in those challenges.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, three-tiered framework to improve and integrate all the data, systems, and practices affecting student outcomes daily. PBIS creates schools where all students succeed.

Visit the PBIS website for more information about PBIS.

Jasper County School District will host Saturday Academy for the 2023-24 School Year on each campus, beginning January 20, 2024. Saturday Academy will take place 8 am-12 pm.

﻿Saturday Academy is an amazing opportunity for our students to come and receive small group instruction via a targeted academic approach. This is also an opportunity for students in Grades 3rd through 8th and students who are enrolled in End of Course Assessments. The goal is to ensure that students whose academic data is below grade level have an opportunity to improve academically and avoid possible grade-level retention.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ridgeland Elementary School students participated in engaging activities on the STEM Bus! Students learned to code robotic cars by creating a set of codes for the robot to follow. Students learned that coding is used to build programs, websites, and data processing. Additionally, students worked through the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to design their own home while only using straws, which included various components such as being sturdy, having at least four walls, and a roof, or creating their own car that must roll while being pushed without the wheels falling off. The focus of each lesson was for students to plan and carry out an investigation while constructing and designing using the EDP.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We were excited to have a delegation of teachers and leaders from Jasper County School District attend this professional learning opportunity in Greenville, SC from November 16-17, 2023. 

The 47th Annual SCCTM Conference was an awesome opportunity for professional development for teachers and math leaders, alike. The theme of this year's conference was, "RENEW: Explore the Joys of Mathematics!" Attendees had the opportunity to attend over 100 sessions over the two-day conference on sessions that centered around student engagement, artificial intelligence in the math classroom, usage of manipulatives and resources to enhance student math experiences, STEAM, and so much more. 

The South Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (SCCTM) acts to support quality mathematics teaching by advocating at the state level for South Carolina educators and students; providing opportunities for leadership, professional development, and networking, and encouraging the creation of research-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

In addition, we celebrate one of our own, Mr. Eugene Bellamy, Jr., who officially began his tenure as President of SCCTM at the conclusion of the 47th Annual Business Meeting. 

The SCCTM Conference 2024 will take place in Columbia, SC from November 14-15, 2024, and the theme will be, "Stop, Collaborate, & Listen: Thinking Mathematically Together!" 

We encourage each of our schools to ensure we plan to send teachers and/or leaders to this conference for the 24-25 school year to ensure our professional staff has the opportunity to learn and grow with and from their colleagues around the State.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dr. Rechel Anderson, Superintendent, stated, “When your focus remains on your most prized possessions, your outcome will always propel forward. Many would not have imagined that a small rural school district, such as Jasper, would rank the 14th most equitable school district, but this national study dispels the notion that Jasper isn’t focused on equitable learning and opportunities for its scholars and/or that we are always ranked the lowest. We will continue to keep our students first and Excel Beyond Barriers!”]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Literacy Night at Hardeeville Elementary School was a great success. Thank you to everyone who made it possible to hold this event. Being 'Student-Centered... Future-Focused' means that it is imperative that we instill the joy of reading into all our scholars.

If you didn’t get the opportunity to join the Hardeeville Elementary School Cougars for our annual Literacy Night, you missed a great opportunity to commune with our school family, students, and families who came out. Families got to experience book giveaways, food, and crafts focused on literacy and the love of reading. Please visit our school webpage for upcoming events. Don’t miss our math night next month.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hardeeville Junior Senior High School students participated in a STEM model lesson on heat transfer and insulation. Students created a barrier around a container that would reduce heat transfer by decreasing thermal conduction from one object to another. Water was then placed in their containers and the temperature was taken at the starting point and ten minutes later. Temperatures were taken to determine which barrier served as the best thermal insulator by holding heat the longest.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Andria Wright, Sophomore and Design 3 student at Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence won first place in the US House of Representative Jim Clyburn’s Art Competition. She unveiled her winning work of art at the JC CATE Completer Ceremony on May 17, 2023. Her photo titled, Metazurial, will hang in the U.S. Capitol for one year along with all of the other Congressional Districts' winners.

Each spring, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the Artistic Discovery competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated.

Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and panels of district artists select the winning entries. Winners are recognized both in their district and at an annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC. It is a great honor to have a winner of such a prestigious honor come from Jasper County. We are proud of Andria. We will encourage her to continue to use her skills to further her goals.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Five JCSD Scholars Made History by Conferring Associate Degrees!]]></title>
				<link>http://www.jcsd.net/apps/news/article/1769302</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.jcsd.net/apps/news/article/1769302</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[JCSD would like to salute and honor the following dual enrollment students for their accomplishments in earning three academic certificates (General Education, Math and ELA, and Liberal Arts) in addition to earning an associate degree in liberal arts and/or an associate in science: Marlena Benson, Mikayla Ferguson, Faith Macherione, Tamia Miller, and Celine Robinson.



We would also like to congratulate the following scholars for earning one or more academic certificates: Gabrielle Chaney, Angelica Chavez, Farrah Doe, Deveigh Ford, Jeremy Givens, Samara Gibbs, Daniella Landeros, and Gabriel Chaney. Also, while earning various credentials, these following students made the “Dean’s List” by earning all A’s: 1st Semester-Da-Jean Biggerstaff, Gabrielle Chaney, Kendell Dinkins, Samara Gibbs, Jeremy Givens, Denasia Haynes, Kelsey Hipp, Shanena James, Eunice Mack, Imani Patterson, and Amiya Richardson. Congratulations to the following students who made the Dean’s list for second semester: Gabrielle Chaney, Farrah Doe, and Samara Gibbs. 



The 22-23 theme for JCSD is “moving from impossible to possible!” Who would have thought it was possible to earn an academic certification from college before becoming a senior in high school? Who would have thought it was possible to earn multiple academic certificates and an associate degree before walking across a stage to receive your high school diploma? Despite these impossibilities, JCSD scholars have made them possible. These scholars triumph and persevered through impossible situations including Covid-19, limited course selection, technology issues, achieving high school requirements, working, participating in sports, completing CTE requirements, applying for scholarships and various universities, and even earning CDL permits. Students seeking associate degrees leverage limited course selection by enrolling in the Technical College of the Lowcountry (TCL), University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) and/or Columbia International University (CIU) simultaneously. Five JCSD scholars made history by conferring associate degrees. 



This historical and pivotal movement has given our scholars early access to higher education while equipping them to be competitive as they have gained knowledge and experiences through rigorous coursework. These high school scholars have mastered how to survive college and prepare themselves as life-long learners. While leaping boundaries and overcoming impossible obstacles, these students have demonstrated a level of commitment that will not only change their lives, but their families and community as well.  



Dr. Murphy affirms that the success of this program is due to a collaborative effort between the partnership of JCSD, USCB and TCL. We are also grateful for our adjunct professors: Mrs. Velyuthan, Mr. Asari, and Mr. Coccia who deliver instructions on our campus and online to ensure our students are successful. Barrack Obama says it best: “The Audacity of Hope.” Our scholars have thrusted beyond hope by moving from impossible to possible by anchoring themselves as life-long learners through their electrifying dedication and commitment.]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.jcsd.net/apps/news/article/1747805</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Students at Ridgeland Elementary School concluded their animal adaptations unit by participating in two STEM projects. Students were assigned a tool that represented a bird's beak. With their beaks, students were to collect as much food as they could and determine if their beak was better suited for a different environment. Students gained an understanding that birds have different beak shapes and sizes that reflect the food they eat. Students learned that the food available to animals varies based on where they live. Additionally, students created bird beaks to show that different birds have different beaks that are adapted to meet their needs. When those needs are met, birds are more likely to live longer and reproduce by passing their genes off to their young through natural selection.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Often times you hear about the many academic interventions that are at the fingertips of our students. 

i-Ready is one of those academic interventions that our students use daily in JCSD. Students in JCSD are not only expected to reach their 'typical' growth goal but students are being encouraged to reach their 'stretch' goal.

While our district summative data may look dim, our teachers, staff, administrators, and students are working diligently to continue to provide academic intervention resources to support our students who need additional academic support.

In our schools, we are highlighting our grade levels and classes by noting the number of lessons completed and the percentage of those lessons passed in ELA and Math.

Pictured below is an example of how Ridgeland Elementary School is showcasing iReady Data for all to see.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[SCABSE invited all SC District Teachers of the Year to be a special guest and honoree at their Winter Conference, which was held on January 12-15, 2023 at the North Charleston Convention Center. SCABSE’s annual salute to the District Teachers of the Year occurred during a special Awards Ceremony and Reception on Friday, January 13, 2023. 



Mrs. Velayuthan states that it has been an incredible journey and an honor to be recognized as the District Teacher of the Year 2022-2023 for Jasper County School District and to be representing Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence at the SCABSE Award Program. She is grateful for this amazing fellowship that she had with fellow SC educators and listening to the keynote speaker, Thomas Slater, elaborate on this year’s theme of “Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers.” The mission of the SCABSE is to ensure a high-quality education for all children, particularly for African American children by establishing coalitions, providing forums, facilitating the placement of African-American professionals, and influencing public policy. Since its beginning, SCABSE has significantly increased its membership and has been able to generate the support of the business community as well as educational and governmental leaders throughout South Carolina. Mrs.V states it was truly a pleasure to be amidst such greatness that night and to be inspired to continue improving the academic achievement of all children. 



Throughout her 34 years of teaching experience both nationally and internationally, and her 16th year at the Jasper County School District, Mrs. V realized that working in Jasper County means maintaining enthusiasm, with a focus on creating a student-centered classroom. Teaching at Jasper County provides continual learning, promotes student achievement, and prepares for global competitiveness. By fostering educational excellence, students are provided a safe and beneficial learning environment aligned to college and career readiness. This award is not about the recognition of an individual, it is the recognition of a community. The whole is far greater than any one part. We are a community that provides the environment and possibilities for students to succeed. Mrs. Velayuthan’s teaching philosophy is: “The function of education is to teach one to think critically with world class knowledge, to lead one to build character intensively with world-class skills, and to prepare one to succeed globally with life and career characteristics.” Teaching has and will continue to be a dream in pursuit!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today, Monday, January 23, 2023, kicked off the first field trip for our students and their Unified Partners. 

Our scholars took a field trip to the Cinemark Theater in Bluffton. Not only did our scholars receive royal treatment, but students also had an experience of a lifetime.
They enjoyed unlimited popcorn and drinks and a movie. 

Dr. Anderson had a wonderful time checking on the students, speaking to staff, and observing one scholar use sign language to order chips and utilize math skills to purchase. 

A special Thank You to our Unified Partners for making this experience possible. Kudos to Mrs. Melissa Lane, staff, and our transportation superstars for working collaboratively on the behalf of students. 

We also extend a Thank You to the Cinemark Team for treating our babies with care and love!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today, Wednesday, November 30, 2022, a student was in possession of a loaded gun clip on the Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence.
  
There was NO gun found on campus. At no time was anyone in danger and the gun clip was confiscated immediately as the student and the belongings entered the secured area of the campus. 
 
The gun clip was detected when the student entered through the school’s metal detectors.  
Immediately, staff and campus SROs confiscated the item, and the student was detained without incident.
 
Jasper County School District uses metal detectors, daily, in all schools.

					<description><![CDATA[Ridgeland Elementary School's first grade students participated in STEM activities and a STEM project using the new JCSD science curriculum alignment document to distinguish the difference between artificial light and natural light. Students were able to identify various types of light sources and complete the pin hole box challenge to determine if light is needed to see various items. This challenge allowed students to conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing various objects in the path of a beam of light. At the end of this lesson, the students in this first-grade class were able to make observations to support the claim that objects in the dark can only be seen when illuminated by light sources.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded South Carolina more than $58 million to purchase electric school buses, as part of its Clean School Bus Program. The funds to the South Carolina Department of Education are the third largest award nationally. It will be used to purchase 148 electric buses for 16 school districts and support infrastructure for the new buses.

School districts identified as priority areas serving low-income, rural, and, or Tribal students make up 99% of the projects that were selected nationwide by EPA. More applications are under review, and the agency plans to select more to reach the full funding amount in the coming weeks.

Jasper County School District (JCSD) is pleased to be a recipient of 4 electric school buses from EPA.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Greetings JCSD Parents of Unicorn and Jaguar Buses!

As indicated, we have hired two (2) new drivers who will assist with splitting the routes of Unicorn and Jaguar.

Attached, are the new routes that include the driver's names and the new bus names. The new bus names are Dinosaur and Rooster.

Please note the Streets that these two changes effect. Again, these are estimated times the bus will arrive at the stop.

If your child's address is not listed on the updated routes attached, they should continue riding the Unicorn and Jaguar buses. They will run as normal.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Transportation!

Have a great evening!

Dr. Rechel M. Anderson]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to Ridgeland Hardeeville High graduate Tuesday K. Cabang for being featured in the SC State University publication, Bulldog Stories. Cabang is completing her bachelor's degree in physics and astronomy. She speaks very highly of her time at RHHS! We are very proud of you and are inspired by story.
Excerpt from the article:

After she graduates, Cabang plans to attend grad school, where she will receive her Master of Arts in Teaching degree.

“I want to go into education. For now, I want to teach at the high school level because when I was in high school, I had a few teachers who were amazing and they gave me that passion for teaching other people,” she said.
Like the constellations she studies in her physics labs, Cabang also wants to shine a light and make an impact in the world of education.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Greetings Jasper County School District Family and Stakeholders!

On the behalf of our superintendent, Dr. Rechel M. Anderson, and our administration, we sincerely hope that you have had and are having a joyful and restful Spring Break. Since the arrival of our administration in July 2018, we have continued to work very diligently to improve Teaching & Learning in Jasper County School District. We also have worked to hire the best educators to teach our scholars. As we continue to remain Student-Centered...Future-Focused, we are appreciative of the professional educators who embrace our proven researched-based instructional framework. Our framework provides a consistent road map that teachers and students can depend on to provide consistently rigorous learning environments across content areas and grade levels. 

To this end, we are excited to share this video example of Ridgeland Elementary School 2nd grade teachers working to instill the love of reading in our young scholars.

Keep soaring Jasper County School District and let's remain focused on our students, improving teaching and learning, and telling our own story! As Dr. Anderson says, in the words of former First Lady Michelle Obama, "When they go low, WE go HIGH!"]]></description>

We are very grateful to United Way for giving our students this gift.

					<description><![CDATA[As shared by our superintendent, Dr. Rechel M. Anderson, we will provide updates of our JCAP capital improvement project (Parking Lot/Athletic Field) that is underway. 

The following update is from Week 1 (June 28-July 2, 2021) - The Initial Stage: Prepping the Site. 

Further, we have successfully RELOCATED all occupants of our JCAP Facility. This relocation work began Monday, June 28th, to our Ridgeland Campus, and was completed Friday, July 2nd. This is a temporary move. Occupants will be relocated back to the JCAP Campus upon completion of the project. 

A special THANK YOU to our Maintenance Team who provided the manpower, with a SMILE, to relocate ALL occupants (Transportation, Adult Ed, Alternative School, Chartwells, SSC, First Steps, Hunger Free Zone). You ROCK and JCSD loves you!

Stay tuned for our press release and project specifics.

‘Student-Centered...Future-Focused!’]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plans (ARP) Act was signed into law. The ARP Act requires that school districts make their Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan available to the public online and that the plans be in an understandable and uniform format; to the extent practicable, are written in a language that parents can understand or, if not practicable, orally translated; and upon request by a parent who is an individual with a disability, provided in an alternative format accessible to that parent. Before making its plan publicly available, school districts must seek public comment on the plan and develop the plan after considering public comment.

Below, you will find components within the plan. Please take a moment to provide input regarding the components. Your input will be considered when developing the district’s plan..

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.]]></description>
