Clover School District (CSD) will open on a regular schedule Monday, Jan. 13, 2025. As students, staff and parents return to campus tomorrow morning, we urge you to exercise caution, as icy patches remain on some drives and parking lots. Two notable icy spots are the areas in front of Clover School District Auditorium and behind Clover Middle School.

Clover School District (CSD) will transition to asynchronous E-Learning on Friday, January 10, 2025, to ensure the safety of students and staff as Winter Storm Cora approaches our area. Parents will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day. An Asynchronous E-Learning Day means that students will not log on for live instruction from their teachers. Instead, students will complete assignments posted to Canvas (the district’s online learning management system) or provided in paper packets for our youngest learners. The asynchronous format provides families with the greatest flexibility in how and when their students complete the assignments because students are not required to be online at any specific time. Staff will be available for office hours between 8:00 am - 11:30 am should your child need support locating or completing the assignments . Students have up to five days from Friday, January 10, to complete their work in order to be counted present for the missed day of school. All work should be completed and turned in by Friday, January 17, 2025. All athletic events have been cancelled for both Friday, January 10, and Saturday, January 11. Details about when these events will be rescheduled will be shared shortly.

Clover School District (CSD) is currently monitoring weather conditions as Winter Storm Cora approaches our area. We anticipate announcing any impact to our operating status for Friday, January 10, following the National Weather Service briefing at noon today.

A new year calls for new habits, so what better way for students at Kinard Elementary to return to school than with a Habit Huddle. Kinard Elementary is a Franklin Covey “Leader in Me” School that studies the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. They opened the morning with a discussion of how they used their winter break to work on Habit Seven: “Sharpen the Saw.” The Student Lighthouse Team–a group that develops leadership by organizing school events–led a dance off to raise back-to-school spirit on a cold winter morning. After that, Principal George Smith and Assistant Principal Kimberly Lazarek delivered “Student Shout Outs.” These were compliments to students who had demonstrated leadership in the classroom before winter break. The administrators then recognized the December Students of the Month. The assembly concluded with a study of Habit Five: “Seek first to understand and then to be understood.” Now that’s a New Year’s resolution for us all!

CSD partners with All on Board to remind parents of the dangers that can be posed by over-the-counter medications.

Good morning, CSD! This is your reminder that today is an E-Learning Day to make up for the instruction lost earlier in the year due to Hurricane Helene. Today is Asynchronous, meaning that students will not log on to their devices for live instruction. Instead, they will be completing assignments in Canvas (the district's online learning management system) or in paper packets provided for students in the early grades. Completion of the work within five days of today will ensure that students are counted as present for the missed school day.

Happy New Year, Clover School District! We wish you a safe, healthy and happy 2025!

Merry Christmas from the Clover School District.

Have a fun and safe Winter Break! All schools and offices will be closed December 23-January 3.

Reminder! Today is a Half Day for students. Enjoy your winter break!

Eighty-nine Blue Eagles soared from the nest last night at the Clover High School (CHS) Winter Graduation. The ceremony, which was held at the Clover School District Auditorium, opened with the Presentation of Colors by the Air Force JROTC. The National Anthem was performed by the Saxophone Quartet from the CHS band. Zaben Dejacimo of the FCA delivered student comments. Senior Class President Emerson Batson delivered the welcome. In her opening remarks, CHS Principal Donna Farris said, “While you may migrate to other parts of the world, you will always be a part of Blue Eagle Nation.” Farris was joined by Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn, Chief Student Services and Secondary Education Officer Rod Ruth and members of the Clover School District (CSD) Board of Trustees in presenting diplomas.

Mrs. Patti Myers' class at Clover High School (CHS) assisted the CHS preschool class with their annual gingerbread house activity. Myers' students have been partnering with the preschoolers for this tradition for over eight years.

Even heroes deserve a holiday. The Clover High School (CHS) Interact Club thought so. When its members realized that the district's School Resource Officers (SROs) weren't able to attend the Hero's Luncheon the club sponsored back in November for veterans and first responders, they went about finding another time to honor the men and women who keep our schools safe each day. Following today's early dismissal, a dozen SROs gathered at Clover Station to enjoy a holiday lunch. Officers from both the Clover Police Department and York County Sheriff's Office were on hand to celebrate the start of winter break.

Students in Carly Zukowski's and Grier Clarke's classes at Clover Middle School collaborated on a heartwarming project to stage a reader's theater for some of the special education classes . The reader's theater was called The Mixed-Up Christmas, and it showcased how creative activities can build critical skills. Students receiving speech-language therapy had an opportunity to practice essential speech and language skills, including articulation, fluency, vocabulary and expressive communication. The activity also fostered the development of soft skills, including teamwork, social interaction and self-confidence.

Congratulations to all the December graduates of Clover High School who will receive their diplomas tonight in a special ceremony at the Clover School District Auditorium. Best of luck, Blue Eagles! We are proud of you!
