Dear Parents:
As you probably already know, Governor McMaster has issued an order that
all South Carolina schools are to remain closed through the end of April
. We will follow this mandate and also keep in mind this comment from his press conference -
“rest assured, if there is any way to safely open our schools earlier, we will do that, but schools must remain closed to protect the health and safety of South Carolinians.”
We also have been providing you with updates regarding scheduled school events and activities; here are the decisions the Board and Administration have made this week:
- April 24 – Prom has been postponed and to give us the most scheduling flexibility, our plan is to hold Prom at PCA (and entertain the idea of holding it even if it is after the end of the school year).
- April 29 – The High School play will be cancelled for this school year. The students have worked very hard and it is Mrs. Blackstone’s strong desire to try to recast a few parts and present the play in the Fall.
- May 5 - Palmetto Art & Music Show – The show has been cancelled but we are working with our Fine Arts teachers to discuss options for showcasing our students’ talents at a later date and perhaps as part of a different event or activity.
I want to thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult times. I am so
proud of our teachers who have been the real heroes by adapting quickly and remaining positive and professional as we rolled out our Virtual Learning Program in a matter of days! Hopefully, your students and family are getting into a rhythm now that will only get better from here.
Remember PCA family…
“but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31
God bless,
JD
