KCSD announces switch to e-Learning for Friday, September 27

All Kershaw County School District schools will shift to e-Learning on Friday, September 27, due to the forecast for heavy winds and possible severe weather conditions due to Hurricane Helene. All school buildings and offices will be closed on Friday. This includes after school childcare programs.

Weather conditions are expected to clear by Friday afternoon, allowing extracurricular activities to move forward as scheduled after 3 p.m. unless otherwise noted by the school.

Teachers will post assignments in Canvas (or will provide paper packets). Specific instructions will be communicated to students and parents from teachers and schools. Teachers will be working remotely on Friday, and will be available for student questions during their virtual office hours:

Elementary Schools: 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Middle and High Schools: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

We realize that power outages are possible, so students will have five school days to complete all assignments to be counted present.

Technology staff will be answering technology-related issues by email at esupport@kcsdschools.net.

Any further updates will be posted on our district and school websites and social media, as well as reported to local news stations. Parents and employees will also receive messages from our mass notification system.

KCSD district leaders continue to focus on the safety of our students, employees and families.
