Chromebooks will be distributed in homeroom tomorrow (8/2). Be on time to your homeroom! If you’re late, you might miss out on the best tech. 😱 🚨 Important Reminders: 🚨 * Remember, laptops are not frisbees or bookends. Treat them gently, carry them securely, and no, they don’t like swimming. 💻💧 * Always carry your laptop by the base, not the screen. This prevents hinge damage and screen breaks. Think of it as holding a pizza – support from the bottom! 🍕

The Georgetown County School District Board of Trustees has retained the South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) to assist in their search for a new Superintendent. In a collaborative and community-minded spirit the Board of Trustees is seeking input as an essential element of the search process. There are two ways parents and members of the community can participate: First, an online survey will be available on the District’s website from June 1 through June 30. Second, meet in person with members from SCSBA. The SCSBA search team will lead meetings on June 11 and June 12 (schedule follows). During each hour long meeting, the team will provide a brief overview of the search process and gather input on the following: What characteristics, experiences, and professional attributes should the Georgetown County School District Board of Trustees look for in the recruitment, screening, and selection process for the next Superintendent of Schools? The in-person meetings are scheduled as follows: • • • June 11: Andrews High School and Georgetown High School (Public and Media) • • • • June 12: Carvers Bay Early College and Career High School and Waccamaw High School (Public and Media) • June 11 and 12, 2024 - School Auditorium, 6:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Anyone wishing to provide any additional comments or ask specific questions may email Judy LeGrand, SCSBA Superintendent Search Coordinator, at jlegrand@scsba.org. All comments and suggestions will remain anonymous. SCSBA will compile the information received from the online survey and the focus groups and report the results to the Board of Trustees.
