While you’ve been building a snowman or staying warm inside, CSD staff members have been driving roads in the school district to evaluate their condition for a safe return to school. While many primary roads are dry, there are a number of shaded secondary roads that are not safe for student drivers or buses. Additionally, because of the extremely cold temperatures, only four of our 12 campuses have been cleared of snow. For this reason, CSD will transition to an eLearning Day on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
As before, families will receive instructions directly from their school about how the eLearning Day will operate.
We did not send a phone call today due to technical difficulties. We appreciate your patience and understanding as CSD navigates this historic snowfall.
Stay safe and warm, CSD!
📚📅 Professional Development Day 📅📚
Students will not be in session today as our teachers are engaged in professional development. As a reminder, all professional development is being conducted virtually today! This dedicated time allows our educators to collaborate, learn, and strengthen their skills to better support student success.
CSD is monitoring weather conditions for Tuesday, February 3. Any decision regarding operations on Tuesday will be made on Monday afternoon.
Stay safe and warm, CSD!
That's because both Lake Wylie High School and Liberty Hill Elementary are substantially under roof and closed in. Work on both sites is now focused on things like mechanical systems, flooring and case work. You can even start to see a little of Lake Wylie's signature Columbia blue paint showing up on the walls.
Members of the Roosevelt High School Alumni Association recently met with Roosevelt Middle School Principal Dr. Maurice Thomas, Director of Community Engagement Ginger Marr, and Public Information Officer Stephanie Knott to begin planning a historical display for the new Roosevelt Middle School. Set to open this fall, Roosevelt Middle proudly carries the name of the former Roosevelt High School, which served African American students in the community prior to desegregation. In the months ahead, the group will work together to thoughtfully preserve and showcase the school’s history, traditions, and enduring student spirit as an important part of the campus.
Families are reminded that tomorrow is an early release day in the district. Elementary schools dismiss at 12:15 p.m. Middle schools dismiss at 1 p.m. High school students are dismissed at 2 p.m.
Students are not in school on Monday as CSD observes a professional development day. Students should plan to take their iPads home tomorrow after the school day in the event that weather conditions prevent our return to class on Tuesday.
Congratulations to these faculty members who will be leading the charge at Lake Wylie High School next year. Today, we are shining the spotlight on the Science Department— mentors who are creating a new ENERGY at LWHS! With Charger pride at the core, they spark curiosity through hands-on learning, instill a passion for science, and emPOWER students to turn ideas into discoveries!
Students in Mrs. Shalyn Wehbie’s classes enjoyed the fruits of their labor Wednesday as they harvested leafy greens grown in their classroom hydroponics towers at the Center for Career Innovation. Joined by 12 members of the Lake Wylie Rotary Club, students harvested an impressive 109 pounds of fresh vegetables, which were used to assemble salad kits for donation to the Clover Area Assistance Center. Through the generous support of the Lake Wylie Rotary Club, students put technology to meaningful use, helping provide fresh, nutritious food to 68 local families.
We wrap up School Board Appreciation Month with a final thank you to our School Board members for their dedicated service to the Clover School District. Pictured here with Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn are from left to right: Keron Meeks, Board Secretary (Seat 2); Tracy Stiff, Legislative Liaison (At-Large Seat); Mike Ballard, Clover LEAF Liaison (Seat 1); Dr. Quinn; Rob Wallace, Board Chair (Seat 5); Jessica Cody, Board Vice Chair (Seat 3); Matt Burris, Legislative Liaison (At-Large Seat); and Kenda Cook, All on Board Liaison, (Seat 4).
This photo, taken recently at the District Office, was captured by Center for Career Innovation staff member Monica Bradshaw. A professional photographer, Monica graciously volunteered her time and talents to preserve this moment. We extend our sincere thanks to Monica for her time and efforts and to our Board for their continued dedication, steady leadership, and faithful service to the students, families, and staff of the Clover School District.
Start times for tomorrow will be as follows:
Elementary Schools–9:35 a.m.
Middle Schools–10:00 a.m.
High Schools–11:00 a.m.
We encourage all families to take necessary safety precautions when traveling to school tomorrow.
Congratulations to these outstanding individuals who will help lead Lake Wylie High School into an exciting new era! Today, we’re featuring the Social Studies Department—faculty who will truly be making history. From civics and culture to world events and local roots, they’ll help shape informed citizens while laying the groundwork for the Charger legacy. The past meets the future here, and it all starts in their classrooms.
CSD has been in communication with York County Emergency Management this morning, and while the sun is doing its job on the main roads, they are reporting that shaded secondary and neighborhood roads remain a challenge despite today’s thawing. Further, they report concerns for refreezing tonight as a result of extremely low temperatures. Tomorrow’s forecast does not show the temperature getting above freezing until after 1 p.m., and predicted overnight winds hold the potential for power outages. These conditions make any delayed school start for Tuesday unsafe.
CSD maintenance crews have been on our campuses all day to clear parking lots and sidewalks. Unfortunately, the process is proving too time-consuming for them to complete before the sun goes down this evening.
As a result of the forecast and the need for additional time to ensure our campuses are safe, Clover School District will transition to eLearning on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
As before, families will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day.
CSD realizes that eLearning is not an easy fix for these missed days of instruction, but we appreciate your patience as we strive to keep our students learning when inclement weather disrupts our normal operations.
The storm is bringing crippling amounts of ice and extremely cold temperatures to York County. The potential of ice accumulation is making road conditions dangerous for travel and has left many homes and schools without electricity.
Based on the information we have received, Clover School District will transition to eLearning on Monday, January 26, 2026. All CSD buildings will be closed.
Families will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day. We thank our staff for the planning that has made this eLearning day possible by creating lessons that include paper-pencil work/packets, hard copies of books/texts, or downloaded videos/materials on the iPad that can be accessed without WiFi.
CSD will continue to monitor weather conditions and advise our staff and families if further adjustments to our schedule become necessary in the days ahead.
Stay safe and warm, CSD.
This selection comes after extensive evaluations by a committee of fellow educators and previous Palmetto’s Finest winners. The application process includes elements on student
achievement, instructional programs, professional learning communities, and school culture.
Last fall, 30 South Carolina schools submitted a 22-page application followed by an onsite examination visit from a review committee. The finalists are currently undergoing a second onsite evaluation.
Each school will have the opportunity to celebrate with their local community, as the winners will be announced through a live stream, via South Carolina ETV, to each finalist school on April 23, 2026.
The South Carolina Association of School Administrators (SCASA) presents the awards each year to schools which offer the best in innovative, effective educational programs. The Palmetto’s Finest Award is celebrating its 46th year and is one of the most coveted and respected awards among educators.
“We are proud to spotlight schools that are pushing boundaries and thinking differently in South
Carolina. These innovative institutions demonstrate the caliber of education available to families
statewide,” said Dr. Quincie Moore, SCASA Executive Director.
Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten registration is completed online through the Clover School District website.
