Residency Verification
Registration and re-enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year is upon us. Because we are a magnet school, there are yearly residency verification requirements that our Board of Trustees has mandated. This year all new AND returning magnet students must provide residency documentation BY June 30, 2021.
Residency paperwork will go home with your student today, May 12, 2021. You may also access documents attached to the Knightly News email from Mrs. White. The school has onsite notary services, please call in advance to ensure availability.
If you have questions, please contact Angenita Watson at 843-724-7750.

Parenting Resources
Do you ever want to protect your child from developing anxiety? Most parents do, but accomplishing this task is nearly impossible. Children have brains that are still developing, and can "unlearn" negative thoughts, behaviors, and fears. Support your child by helping them learn skills to manage anxiety and fears.
