Due to expected inclement weather as a result of Hurricane Helene, and in consultation with Georgetown County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service, Friday, September 27, 2024, will be an eLearning day for Georgetown County School District.

Teachers should post assignments no later than 8 a.m. on Friday, September 27. In order to be marked present for the eLearning days, students must turn in their assignments no later than Wednesday, October 2. In the event there are power or Wi-Fi outages, extensions to the due date will be announced.
Our KES Koalas loved duct taping Dr. Cobb and Mr. Cook to the wall today! The hallway was filled with laughter and excitement. Thank you to our Fundraising Committee for organizing this event.
Our KES Staff went on an excursion together after-school for some great Team Building Time! Teachers were divided into groups and given a specific theme, along with a $20 Gift Card to Wal-Mart. Each team was challenged to purchase items connected to their assigned theme to create a gift basket once they returned to school. Teams had to ride to Wal-Mart together and spend as close to $20 without going over that amount. Gift Baskets will be used in the future for staff incentives. Who knew that going to Wal-Mart could be so fun?
Thank you to the anonymous donor who donated to the KES Special Abilities Department to support this year's field trips. You are appreciated! 🐨🐨🐨
KES was taken over by pirates today for "International Talk Like a Pirate Day". We all had an ARRGGGHH-mazing day!
