KCSD 2024 end-of-year schedule and calendar information
Becky Bean, (803) 432-8416 ext. 1229
The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) will have half-days for students on May 23 and May 24, the last two days of the school year.
Students in 3-year-old preschool special needs programs will not attend school on those days. Elementary schools and CLC will dismiss at 11:30 a.m., middle schools at 11:45 a.m. and high schools at noon. Woolard Technology Center students will be dismissed at 11 a.m.
Kershaw County School District graduation ceremonies for Camden High, Lugoff-Elgin High and North Central High will be held on Friday, May 24, at 7:30 p.m. All ceremonies will be held in the school football stadiums. Schools will communicate with graduates and families regarding ticketing information.
In case of rain on Friday evening, all three ceremonies will be moved to 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 25, with the hope of still holding the ceremonies outdoors in the stadiums.
If rain persists on Saturday morning, Camden High and North Central High will move their ceremonies indoors at 9:30 a.m. However, because of construction projects that are taking place in the Lugoff-Elgin High School auditorium and gymnasium, Lugoff-Elgin High will plan to hold their ceremonies at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday evening if they are unable to hold their ceremony outdoors on Friday evening or Saturday morning.
All three ceremonies will be recorded by SCETV and will be made available at no charge at www.youtube.com/kcsdschools shortly after the programs.
Emails for online registration for the 2024-2025 school year will be sent to parents on July 8. All schools will have in-person registration help days on July 10 and July 24.
The first day of the 2024-2025 school year for students is Thursday, August 1, 2024. Four- and five-year-old kindergartners will begin school on a staggered start schedule, with half of the students beginning on August 1 and half on August 2. More information will be shared with 4K and 5K kindergarten families closer to the start of the school year.
Also, after taking into consideration feedback from KCSD teachers, staff and families, the 2025-2026 school calendar was approved by the school board in order to give families and staff time to make plans. The start date for the 2025-2026 school year is Monday, August 4, 2025.
