Attendance
Every time your child is absent, the attendance office needs to be notified in writing with a medical excuse or a parent note. Please use this form to send in an electronic excuse. While emailing a teacher about your child's absence is greatly appreciated, it is not considered an excuse.
Please be aware that a student is only allowed 5 parent notes per school year. Any other absences will require a medical excuse. If you have any questions regarding attendance, please contact Brooke McCollum at 803-541-1286.
Enrollment Information
For information regarding student enrollment, please contact (803)541-1285.
To enroll your child, you must email the following documentation to Nancy Burbage, Guidance Counselor at nburbage@bsd45.net.
***Once all documents have been emailed to Ms. Burbage, she will email you directions to complete the remainder of the enrollment process on line.***
For RETURNING STUDENTS, just click the blue Register Now button above, then click the Returning Student button. This will redirect you to Parent Portal where you will update your child's information. Once you've signed into Parent Portal, locate the link labeled "Forms" on the left side. Five blue hyperlinks will appear - click on each form to update your child's registration data. Make sure you hit "Submit" (right side) at the bottom of each form you complete. Four of the blue hyperlinks will turn green once you have completed the form and one blue hyperlink (first one) will turn yellow once you have completed the form.
We hope that you have logged into the Parent Portal (by clicking the image above). It is an excellent tool that gives you access to your child's grades, attendance history, and more. You can also sign up to receive emailed updates about your child's progress. Before using the Parent Portal, you must pick up your login and password in person from the front office. And bring your ID! The Parent Portal App is now available on Google Play and iTunes.
