Today was an exciting day as our Board Members, Superintendent, and staff Unified as One to welcome the new school year. 🎉 Superintendent Johnson shared his inspiring journey, asking everyone to revisit their "why" and reminding us why we fight for our students each and every day. 💪📚 Thank you to everyone who joined us in kicking off the school year including our CCSD high school cheerleaders, the MHS Air Force JROTC, and the Manning High School Golden Marching Pride! Here’s to a fantastic year of teaching and learning! 📖✨

📢 Important Announcement for Clarendon County School District Parents and Guardians! We are excited to share that the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) has approved a "Staggered Start" schedule for all 4K and 5K students in the Clarendon County School District (CCSD) for the 2024-2025 academic school year. The "Staggered Start" aims to provide our dedicated teachers the opportunity to administer all beginning-of-the-year (BOY) assessments to our youngest learners before the start of instruction. This ensures a smooth and effective start to the school year for everyone. 🗓Key Dates to Remember: - The week of August 5, 2024: Building-level principals will communicate with parents/guardians to schedule a time for your 4K and/or 5K student(s) to come into the buildings for their BOY assessments. - August 12, 2024: All 4K and 5K students will begin school regularly. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a fantastic school year ahead! #CCSD #SCDE #StaggeredStart #4K #5K #BOYAssessments

🌾 AG is Here to Stay 🥕 Parents/Guardians and Community Members, We have received inquiries and concerns regarding the status of the Agricultural Science Program at Manning High School. We want to clarify that the Career and Technical Education Ag Science Program is not being discontinued. As with any personnel issue, we are unable to discuss it publicly, but please note that we always work in the best interest of our students. We understand that finding qualified agricultural science instructors can be challenging, as noted by the South Carolina Department of Education's Agricultural Department and we are confident in our HR Recruitment Team. ℹ️ It is crucial that you seek accurate information directly from the District. Our priority is to provide a safe and enriching learning environment for our students, offering the best courses and programs to prepare them for success as South Carolina graduates. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ms. Barbara King, a beloved and devout educator who dedicated her life to the students of Clarendon County Schools. Ms. King was an exceptional educator whose passion for teaching and unwavering commitment to our community left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered. Throughout her esteemed career, Ms. King was not only a remarkable teacher but also a mentor and friend to her colleagues and students. Her dedication to education did not end with her retirement; instead, she continued to share her knowledge and passion by volunteering in our schools, embodying the spirit of lifelong learning. Ms. King’s legacy was further enriched by the contributions of her daughter, the late Ty King, who followed in her mother's footsteps and made significant impacts within our school community. Barbara’s presence was a constant source of inspiration, and her involvement with our gardening class at MECC showcased her enduring commitment to nurturing and educating our children. Barbara King was a pillar in our schools and the broader community. Her kindness, wisdom, and dedication have profoundly impacted the lives of countless students, families, and educators. Her absence will be deeply felt, but her legacy will continue to inspire future generations. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the King family and all who were touched by Barbara’s extraordinary life. She will be greatly missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts and minds of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Sincerely, Dr. Shawn Johnson Superintendent, Clarendon County School District Arthur Moyd Chair, Board of Trustees, Clarendon County School District
