Good afternoon Cario families,
Thank you for your patience, grace, and flexibility as we work together to support the health and well-being of our students, staff, and community during this uncertain time. The Charleston County School District (CCSD) will be communicating any updates received through the CCSD Office of Strategy and Communications (see message below from 3.13.20 or ccsdschools.com). Cario Middle School teachers are working hard to plan for your students while keeping their health and safety as the primary concern. We will share any updates as they are received.

From CCSD Office of Strategy and Communications:
"We understand our county, state, and nation are facing uncertain times as we respond to the impacts and potential impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Due to the uncertainty, we understand rumors are going to circulate about school closures.
But let us be clear: if Charleston County School District (CCSD) makes any changes to our normal operations as it relates to this matter, it will be done in conjunction with and guidance from the Center for Disease Control, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the South Carolina Department of Education, and our local government agencies.
Let us be even clearer: if any changes are made to our normal operations, CCSD’s Office of Strategy and Communications will communicate that information directly to our school communities and the public through our official channels, which include our notification system (phone calls, emails, and/or texts), our district website (ccsdschools.com), our district social media platforms, and press releases for all local news media outlets.
We appreciate your partnership and help in sharing this message.”

Thank you, Gayle Morris
