Good Evening Chiefs,
This is Dr. Hembree from McCormick County School District with an important weather update.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for our area, beginning on Friday, January 10th, at 7 a.m. and lasting through Saturday, January 11th, at 7 a.m. Snow, sleet, and ice accumulations are possible for hazardous road conditions.
Due to the winter storm watch that has been issued, Friday, January 10th, will be an e-learning day for all students. This means students will access lessons via their Google Classroom. Your child's school will provide additional details pertaining to e-learning assignments on Thursday.
Please note that tomorrow, Thursday, January 9th, is still a regular school day.... We ask that all students bring home their Chromebooks and chargers at the end of the school day tomorrow in preparation for the e-learning day on Friday.
Thank you for your attention to this essential update, and please stay safe and warm.
Good morning. Bus #23 will be late this morning. Approximately arrival to school will be about 8:30am. Call with any questions. Thanks

McCormick County School District hosted its fourth annual Leadership McCormick on Wednesday, December 4th. Nearly 30 community stakeholders were in attendance for the event. Participants had the opportunity to learn about our district initiatives, tour classrooms, and provide feedback on implementing the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. What a great day we had connecting with our community leaders! We are so grateful for the support they provide to our World-Class Chiefs.
JROTC: Historically, these coins are given as a token of appreciation, recognition, and pride for service members who have gone above and beyond their duty. Superintendent Dr. Hembree received the first coin. What a honor!
As a reminder, Tuesday, November 26th, was designated an inclement weather makeup day that we did not need to use. As a result, there is no school on Tuesday, November 26th.
We wish all of our students and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving break! We are so grateful for all of our Chiefs! We will look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday, December 2nd.
Ahead of the Thanksgiving Holiday, our Board of Trustees and Superintendent wanted to thank our staff for their hard work over the past year. For the first time since 2010, all three schools are now performing at an average report rating. Dr. Hembree presented each employee with a $500 check. "I am filled with gratitude for our entire MCSD family and their hard work, dedication, and commitment to world-class excellence! Every person in the district plays a role in student achievement, and we are incredibly proud of the tremendous strides we have made!" Dr. Hembree
We are excited to welcome 2 new board members and 2 returning members to the McCormick County School board. Looking forward to the work and Experience they will bring to the table.
