  • A Message from the Principal

    Greetings Pendergrass-Fairwold Family,

    Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! We are so excited to see all o four students' smiling faces entering the doors.  As parent support is vital to students' success, we look forward to your participation throughout the school year at our special events.  In the upcoming weeks, you will receive information about joining our School Improvement Council (SIC).  One of our main goals for Pendergrass-Fairwold students continues to be maximizing our students' independence.  We are excited to have our transition students working in our on-campus job enterprises.  Our peer mentoring program will foster relationships with EXCEL students, resulting in opportunities for socialization with same-aged non-disabled peers.

    As always, thanks for your continued support. We are #team one #one team!!!!!!

We want them to receive the “thank-you” they deserve for playing a role in the lives of families every day.

  • Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.  Autism is a complex, lifelong developmental disability that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a person’s social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum condition” that affects people differently and to varying degrees.

    While there is currently no known single cause of autism, early diagnosis helps a person receive the support and services that they need, which can lead to a quality of life filled with opportunity.

Nurse's Corner

  • Nurse

    There is a nurse at the school daily; however if the nurse is not available, trained staff will handle medication distribution and any emergency that arises. If your child becomes ill while at school, the student needs to go to the nurse’s office to be checked. We will call you to come pick him/her up if necessary. Please always be sure the school has current phone numbers for you and other emergency contact persons.

    Please let the school nurse know if your student has significant health history, life threatening allergies or special medical concerns.

    All students must meet state immunization requirements in order to attend school. The goal of these requirements is to reduce and eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases among South Carolina’s children, adolescents and adults. Each student must have completed the required immunizations in order to attend school. Please be sure your child is up to date on all immunizations. Your child’s healthcare provider can help you determine if he/she needs further immunizations.
