SC Ready Testing Dates

Important Letter to Parents

Dear Parent /Guardian:

As we prepare to transition from a hybrid schedule to four days of in -person learning, health and safety remain our top priorities. Schools maintain preventive practices to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, but in group settings some may still be exposed and become ill. It is important that steps be taken to protect all LCSD students and staff and provide students with a safe, healthy learning environment.

Plexiglass shields will be used to limit contact between students when students must be seated closer than 6 feet. Current DHEC guidance allows students to be seated at least 3 feet apart, if the appropriate plexiglass is utilized and students are wearing cloth face coverings that cover the nose and mouth. However, due to limited space in your child’s classroom, we are notifying you that it will be difficult to ensure that students are distanced by at least 3 feet when seated and that the plexiglass will provide appropriate separation during school activities

Please continue to monitor your child daily for symptoms of COVID-19. Schools will maintain preventive practices, strict cleaning protocols and screen all staff and students daily to ensure that sick individuals do not enter classrooms, in an effort to slow the spread of the virus.

Sincerely,

Kelli P. Overcash
