Please be sure that if your child is a car rider that someone is here to pick them up by 12:30.

Due to the threat of inclement weather on Friday, January 21, the School District of Newberry County will move instruction to an asynchronous (not live) instruction day. Teachers will post assignments for students to complete, but there will be no live Google Meets on this day. Students will have a five-school-day window of time to turn in eLearning assignments. If assignments are not returned within that five-school-day window, the student may be counted absent for the day. It is expected that we will return to normal schedule on Monday, January 24. If your child has experienced symptoms, been identified as a close or household contact, or tested positive, please remember to report that to the school nurse through the use of the Covid Reporting Link found on the school and district websites. We appreciate your patience and understanding during our eLearning time and look forward to seeing our students on Monday morning.

šŸŠAttention Parents and FamiliesšŸŠ In case you missed tonightā€™s phone call, hereā€™s all the information. Ā  šŸŠNo school on Monday, January 17th in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day šŸŠ The School District of Newberry County is currently experiencing a high number of students and staff impacted by Covid-19.Ā As a result, all schools will shift from in-person instruction to eLearning virtual instruction from Tuesday, January 18 through Friday, January 21.Ā There will be no school-related extracurricular or after school activities from January 18- January 21.Ā  Breakfast and lunch for January 18-21 can be picked up at Newberry Middle School, Mid-Carolina High School, or Whitmire Community School between the hours of 10:30 am ā€“ 1:00 pm each day. We recognize that a shift of this nature impacts families and child-care, and of course, classroom instruction.Ā However, it has become necessary as we struggle to maintain regular operations due to the high number of student and staff absences as a result of Covid-19.Ā  It is our goal to resume in-person learning on Monday, January 24.Ā However, we will monitor the numbers and staff availability and notify parents and staff no later than Friday, January 21, if an extension is warranted.Ā  If your student is currently quarantined or isolated, this shift will not impact the length of the quarantine as told to them by the school nurse. šŸŠ Please continue to update the school if your child has COVID-19 symptoms, has tested positive, was a close contact or household contact. Please report this by completing this form: but.ly/COVID19_GES šŸŠ We were super excited by the number of students who joined their teachers virtually last Thursday. If your child does not have internet access, please notify your childā€™s teacher as soon as possible so that work can be prepared for them to be picked up. For students who do not have internet access, work will be able to be picked up on Tuesday from 2:00-4:00 and Wednesday from 8:00-10:00. šŸŠ Thank you for all you have done so far this year to support your children and our school.

Beginning Thursday, January 13, Gallman Elementary School will temporarily shift all students from in-person learning to eLearning. There will be no school-related extracurricular or after school activities from January 13 through January 17. However, virtual parent-teacher conferences will continue as scheduled on January 13 and 14. Please understand that this decision was not taken lightly. We recognize that a shift of this nature impacts families and child care, and of course, classroom instruction. However, it has become necessary as we struggle to maintain regular operations due to the percentage of staff who are positive, symptomatic, and/or quarantined for Covid-19. There is also a growing number of student absences due to Covid-19. Students should log into Schoology to complete assignments. Teachers who are not isolated or quarantined will use Google Meet to teach remotely on Thursday, January 13. These links for instruction, as well as class schedules, will be listed on the teacherā€™s page in Schoology. Breakfast and lunch pick up will occur between 10 am to noon at Newberry Middle School. Please pull around the back of the school for meal pick up. It is our goal to resume in-person learning on Tuesday, January 18. However, we will monitor the numbers and staff availability over the weekend and notify parents and staff no later than Sunday, January 16, if an extension is warranted. If your student is currently quarantined or isolated, this shift will not impact the length of the quarantine as told to them by the school nurse. The school will follow up with additional information as necessary. You can also follow the most recent updates on the district website and Facebook page. Again, eLearning for Gallman Elementary will begin on Thursday, January 13 and will continue through January 17. We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to provide a safe learning environment for students and staff.
