Las temperaturas bajo cero durante la noche y las carreteras secundarias cubiertas de hielo en algunas áreas del condado continuarán generando condiciones peligrosas para la circulación de nuestras familias, personal y autobuses escolares. Por precaución, todas las escuelas del CCSD pasarán a un día de aprendizaje en línea (eLearning) el martes 27 de enero de 2026.
Se solicita a los estudiantes y a las familias que se coordinen con los maestros para cualquier tarea o actividad asignada para ese día. Por favor, visite nuestro sitio web para consultar el Plan de Días de eLearning del distrito: https://www.chester.k12.sc.us/page/elearning-days-plan

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for our area, effective Saturday until Monday afternoon. CCSD is currently monitoring weather conditions and is in communication with Chester County Emergency Management. As always, we will notify families and staff promptly should any school closures, delays, or schedule adjustments become necessary due to hazardous weather or road conditions.
In preparation for a possible e-learning day, we ask that parents please remind their child to bring home any necessary materials or learning devices on Friday.
The safety of our students, staff, and school buses traveling on the roads during potentially hazardous conditions remains our top priority. Please continue to check the District’s website and social media channels for updates. All official notifications will also be communicated directly to parents and staff via phone, text, mobile app, and email.

Today we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His message of respect, service, and caring for one another continues to inspire people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
Dr. King believed in the power of kindness, understanding, and community. On this day, we encourage reflection on how we can treat others with dignity and work together to make our communities stronger.

We are aware that the Buddhist monks participating in the nationwide Walk for Peace will be in Great Falls tonight and tomorrow morning. While they will not be staying at any of our schools, their presence is expected to draw crowds and increase traffic during the morning commute.
We will be operating on a normal schedule; however, please note the following for tomorrow morning:
• Expect slower traffic, congestion, and limited parking near the school.
• Plan extra travel time if dropping off students.
• Follow any instructions from staff or law enforcement, who will have a heightened presence.
• Do not allow students to leave school grounds to observe the monks or the crowds.
• No overnight parking will be allowed on school property.
We do not anticipate any safety concerns later in the day. Please contact CCSD if you have any questions.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in keeping our school community safe!
