Warrior Families,
SC Ready Testing is coming to ILIS May 7th-21st. It is important that families remember that while testing is going, we cannot pull students from class for any reason. If you currently have appointments scheduled for any of the dates below, please reschedule them for after 12:00, or another day.
Electronic Device Policy:
Proviso 1.103 in the General Appropriations Bill, H.5100 of 2024, reads the following: To receive state funds allocated for State Aid to Classrooms, a school district shall implement a policy adopted by the State Board of Education that prohibits access to personal electronic communication devices by students during the school day. For purposes of this provision, a personal electronic communication device is considered to be a device not authorized for classroom use by a student, utilized to access the Internet, wi-fi, or cellular telephone signals.
As our district policy already states, students may not have smart watches on, nor are they allowed to have their phones or any other electric devices on. You can review the LCSD electronic device policies found HERE.
