    AdvancED Parent Survey

    Our school is embarking on the continuous improvement process that will lead to the renewal of our AdvancED accreditation. To begin reflecting on where we are as a school, we would greatly appreciate it if you would complete the Climate and Culture survey for your child’s school. This data will help us reflect on where we have strengths and on areas that we may need to improve upon as a school. The survey is anonymous. It can be completed November 5th through November 16th. Please be sure to double check that you have selected the proper school from the drop down menu. If you have children in multiple schools, you may complete a survey for each school, just be sure to select the proper school in the drop down menu. If you need assistance completing the survey, please call the school at 803-735-3435 to schedule an appointment. 

    Thank you for being committed to our process for continuous improvement.

  • A Message from the Principal

     Greetings Pendergrass-Fairwold Family,Redenberg

    First, we would like to thank each of you for your patience and support during this process as it is a learning experience for all of us. Although there have been a few bumps in the road, we have collectively been able to provide a safe, positive virtual learning environment for your child. As we enter phase two, we look forward to continuing to experience successes for all of our students. We have devised a plan that we believe will work well with providing our students a face-to-face learning environment that meets each student’s academic and social needs without compromising safety. Below please find a few changes in our expectations during this new phase. Thanks again for partnering with us to ensure your child has a great 2020-2021 school year. We are so excited to begin working with our students in-person!

    2. Car riders will begin arriving at 7:30 a.m. Please bring your child to the door in the back parking lot near the cafeteria. Call the school at (803) 735-3435 upon arrival and a staff member will come to your car to retrieve your child. His/her temperature will be taken at that time. If your child’s temperature is above 100 degrees, the school nurse will contact you with next steps.
    3. Your child is tardy after 8:00 a.m. If you arrive after this time, please bring your child to the front office. A staff member will escort him/her to the classroom.

    Safety

    1. Your child must wear a mask or shield as often as possible. We will diligently work with your child to increase his/her tolerance to masks/shields. We have also structured our classrooms and schedules to ensure your child is at least six feet away from other students.
    2. Staff members will regularly utilize personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks, shields, gloves, gowns, etc. when working with your child. Students will not share learning materials at this time. To limit contact with others, students will remain in their classrooms for the entire day. Meals will be served in classrooms. Related areas teachers will come to your child’s class to provide instruction.
    3. If your child has a fever, you will be contacted immediately by the school nurse. We encourage parents to do self-checks before arriving to school.
    4. If your child has been exposed to COVID-19 or has a positive result, he or she cannot attend school. Please follow all of the CDC guidelines to quarantine. Our COVID-19 school contact is Alison Hair and she can be reached at (803) 691-1977 or at alison.hair@richlandone.org. She will provide information about what information is needed in order for your child to return to school.
