CCSD is excited to partner with the Charleston County Public Library for Summer Reading again this year. Almost all students have been taught how to log into their Summer Reading accounts. Due to school going longer this year, several students have already earned prizes just from their reading at school! Keep that reading going all the way until August 31st!

Finally, students will have access to CLEVER all summer long. That means they can access Summer Reading and SORA, and more, the way they have learned at school.

Enjoy the reading!

Wildcat Weekly Wildcat Weekly Mt. Zion Elementary Family Newsletter: May 14, 2021

[05/14/21]   Good morning Mt. Zion Families! Please check out our newsletter for information about next week’s Virtual Parent Night, mask waivers, the date for our 5th grade promotion celebration, and recent photos from school. Here is the link to this week’s newsletter: https://www.smore.com/hgp1d

[05/13/21]   The following is a statement from the CCSD Board of Trustees:

As a Board of Trustees, we must comply with the executive order to allow for facemask waivers, but we use this opportunity to earnestly appeal to all parents to allow the successful protocols put in place for this most unusual year to remain in place for this school year. Teachers and staff have respected students and families all year long by serving children five days per week. We are strongly urging all families to respect teachers by having your child wear a face mask for the remainder of the school year.

For more information, please see the school district's website. Thank you.

Third grade students were treated to a weeklong course in juggling and its science through Engaging Creative Minds. Their instructor was so impressed, she has volunteered to come back and teach the students some more. What an awesome experience!

[05/12/21]   Good afternoon Mt. Zion Families. We are still awaiting final instructions from the CCSD School Board regarding the mask waiver process that will be implemented according to the Governor’s Executive Order issued yesterday. As soon as we have additional information, we will update all families. In the meantime, all CCSD schools are still following the existing mask policy, which requires that masks be worn unless eating, drinking, or during socially distanced mask breaks.



---------



Buenas tardes Familias de Mt. Zion. Todavía estamos esperando las instrucciones finales de la Junta Escolar del CCSD con respecto al proceso de exención de mascarillas que se implementará de acuerdo con la Orden Ejecutiva del Gobernador emitida ayer. Tan pronto como tengamos información adicional, actualizaremos a todas las familias. Mientras tanto, todas las escuelas del CCSD todavía están siguiendo la política de máscarillas existente, que requiere que se usen máscarillas a menos que se coma, beba o durante los descansos de máscarillas socialmente distanciados.

[05/12/21]   Important Message:
This evening Governor McMaster issued Executive Order 2021-23, that has language pertaining to the use of face coverings in South Carolina public schools. Due to the lateness of the Order, the legal ambiguities, and the absence of a DHEC opt out form, the state face covering guidelines will remain in effect until such time as the agency has the opportunity to confer with legal counsel and provide further guidance.
As noted in the Order, face covering requirements as they relate to students and staff on school buses have not changed as a result of President’s Executive Order No. 13998 (Executive Order on Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel) (Jan. 21, 2021); CDC Order Under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 264) and 42 C.F.R. §§ 70.2, 71.31(b), 71.32(b) (Requirement for Persons to Wear Masks While on Conveyances and at Transportation Hubs) (Jan. 29, 2021).
Charleston County School District will comply with the face mask requirements for schools and buses until further guidance is received from the state.
