As of July 31, 2020, the South Carolina Department of Education mandated:
"Students and staff in South Carolina public schools must wear a face-covering upon entering a school building, moving through hallways, during carpool/bus drop off or pick up, and when social distancing is not possible or optimal. Student face coverings may be removed upon teacher or administrator direction while in the classroom or during special activities outside the classroom."
This mandate follows our mask policy stated by Mrs. Hipp in the superintendent update last week. Masks will be provided for students when boarding buses or before entering the school building if they do not have one.

Attention all IES K5 Parents: We wanted to celebrate our little graduates, so we will be having a “Drive-Thru Graduation Ceremony” on Tuesday, May 19th from 9:00am- 11:00am and then again from 5:00pm-7:00 pm. Parents will pull into the car line in single file, and teachers will escort students one at a time to give them their graduation hat and take a formal graduation picture in front of a fun backdrop. Then, teachers will escort the student back to their respective car and get the next student in line. Please dress your student in their best, and meet us at IES on May 19th to help us recognize our K5 grads. We can’t wait to see you and our sweet kiddos!
Attention Reading All-Stars! Your celebration game has been rescheduled, so mark your calendars for Sunday, August 9! More information will be coming your way soon!
