Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of an important change for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Beginning from the first day of school, it will be mandatory for all students to have clear book bags. The implementation of clear bookbags is an additional measure we are taking to enhance school safety. This will help us maintain a secure and focused learning environment for all our students. To support this initiative, the first clear bookbag will be provided to each student free of charge.
I would like to express my gratitude for your continued support as we work together as a community to ensure the safety and well-being of our students. By implementing this new policy, we are taking proactive steps to create a secure environment that fosters optimal learning and growth. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you once again for your cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
James T. Curry
Principal

I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health and high spirits. As we prepare for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, I wanted to take a moment to provide you with some important updates regarding our daily schedule, as well as drop-off and pick up procedures.
Starting from the first day of school, the building will open its doors to students at 7:00 a.m. This will allow ample time for students to eat breakfast, settle in and begin their day on a positive note when instruction starts at 7:30 a.m. Additionally, please be advised that early dismissal will conclude at 1:30 p.m. after which we kindly request that parents pick up their children in the car rider line when dismissal begins at 2:15 p.m. Please assist our team in ensuring all car riders are picked up no later than 2:45 p.m. After this time, any remaining car riders must be signed out in the main office. For a complete list of procedures for drop-off and pickup, visit our webpage.
We truly appreciate your continued cooperation and support in adhering to these procedures. By doing so, we can ensure a safe and efficient environment for all our students.

2023-2024 School Year Only (08/03/2023 – 05/24/24)
Please make sure you are registering for the correct school year.
Online Registration Links
Parents who plan to enroll their child in Sumter School District for the first time are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible to avoid last minute crowds. Parents may also register their child in the school zoned for their residence during regular school hours. Persons unsure of their school zone may contact the district’s attendance office at 803-469-6900, extension 507.
Children must be four or five on or before September 1 to enroll in preschool or kindergarten, respectively. State law mandates that children ages five to seventeen must be in school. Parents who choose not to send their child to a public or private school must sign a waiver to that effect. Waiver forms are available at the district administrative office. Parents who plan to enroll their child in any grade are asked to do so as soon as possible. School offices are open year round for registration.
Upon registration, parents are required to provide school personnel with the child’s official birth certificate, proof of residence, and immunization records. Parents of children transferring from another school district are encouraged to bring the child’s latest report card.
Students new to Sumter School District must complete SC Immunization Form DHEC 2740. A child cannot be admitted to any school or child development program without a valid SC Certificate of Immunization or a medical, religious, or special exemption. For details, contact the Health Department or your physician. According to state law, if your child is transferring from an out-of-state school, his/her health certificate information must be on a South Carolina form. Out-of-state certificates may be taken to a doctor or clinic in South Carolina to inquire what previous information can be transferred to the South Carolina form.
