  • Gardening Club Needs Your Help

    The Garden Club has been hard at work improving the garden beds and developing a composting station. We now need to fill our renovated raised bed. If you are willing to drop off a bag of soil/potting soil/compost at school, we can get our tomatoes, onions, and herbs in the ground!

  • Safety Drill Completed

    This morning we practiced a safety drill, called a lockdown drill. It was announced very clearly to all on campus that this is a drill at the beginning of the safety exercise. All faculty and staff have been made aware this is a drill.

    The drill is now completed.

    During lockdown drills, teachers ensure scholars are in a safe zone within the classroom. We have already discussed this with scholars previously this semester. The teachers will follow the protocol in place from CCSD and the Standard Response Protocol. This process can be reviewed at https://iloveuguys.org/The-Standard-Response-Protocol.html#Pre-K-12

    The SRO assigned to our school was on campus to assist with the drill. 

    If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Frasier at MFrasier@CharlestonMathScience.org.
