The annual Dorchester County Showdown took on a fresh twist this year, hosted at Ashley Ridge High School.

The participating schools included Woodland High School, Summerville High School, Fort Dorchester High School, Dorchester Academy, and Ashley Ridge High School, each bringing their best to the field in an evening of spirited competition.....read the full article here which includes scores and other information. https://www.dorchester4.k12.sc.us/article/1730033 #thewood #unifiedtrack #dd4family

🎉 Excitement filled the air at Harleyville Elementary on Friday during our annual House Selection Event! 🌟 New students and faculty gathered in the gymnasium to spin the wheel and discover which of the four incredible houses they would join: Reveur, Amistad, Isibindi, or Altruismo.
The House System, inspired by the Ron Clark Academy, fosters character, academic success, school spirit, and a close-knit family atmosphere at HES. It’s a fantastic way for students to connect with peers across different grades and classes, building a strong culture of excellence and unity.
As you can see from the video, our students had an absolute blast! 🎡 #HouseSelection #HESFamily #BuildingExcellence
Whys is attendance important?
Regular attendance fosters a classroom community between teachers and children. Students who attend school are more likely to succeed academically. Students gain background knowledge from discussions while learning in school. Attending school also provides time for social interactions with peers. Missing just 2 days a month means a child misses 10% of the school year. #schooleveryday
Elementary Schools Host Much-Awaited “Meet the Teacher Night” After Tropical Storm Delay
On Monday night, the anticipation that had been building up for weeks came to fruition as Harleyville Elementary, Williams Memorial Elementary, and Clay Hill Elementary opened their doors for the highly anticipated “Meet the Teacher Night.” This annual event, which marks the final step before the start of the school year, was especially significant this year due to the unexpected delay caused by Tropical Storm Debby. See the whole story in the news section.
