• We want to make everyone aware of a new cell phone policy that will go into effect January 4th when student return.

  • • Effective January 4, 2024, all Greenville County High Schools will implement a cellphone-free policy. The policy states that personal electronic devices cannot be used by students in classrooms during the instructional day.   (Electronic devices include but are not limited to cell phones, earbuds...etc.)

    • All personal devices must remain out of sight of others during this time. Students may use personal electronic devices during class changes, lunch, and other times outside of the classroom during the instructional day unless directed differently by the principal or principal’s designee. 

    • The instructional day for high schools is between the hours of 8:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. 

     For the purpose of inclement weather days, eLearning is defined as live instruction throughout the day. This live instruction may be with a whole group, small group, and/or individual sessions. Students are expected to log on to their live instruction through their Google Classroom (or SeeSaw for younger grades) during inclement weather days. If students are unable to join the live meets due to power loss, sickness, etc., work must be made up within five days of returning to school. Parent/students can download any assignments from Google Classroom and work on them offline by following the offline directions (English | Spanish).

Parents and Guardians, 

In light of recent events at athletic venues across the country, Greenville County Schools has updated its safety requirements for athletic events, effective immediately.

For all Greenville County Schools athletic events, the following requirements are in place to ensure the safety of all attendees:

Middle school students and younger must be accompanied by an adult 19 years old or older to every athletic event

High school students must have a school-issued ID to enter an athletic event alone; otherwise, they must be accompanied by an adult 19 years old or older

No loitering in any area; all fans need to sit in the home or visitor stands during the event

Not following any of the rules outlined above will result in removal from the event without a refund

As a reminder, there is a clear bag policy for GCS events.

In addition, Riverside High School does not allow any outside food or drink into the stadium.

Thank you for your cooperation and help to ensure the safety of all attendees.
