Attendance is mandatory and compulsory for five-year-olds. Parents may sign a waiver at their local school district office if they desire not to send their child(ren) to kindergarten.

We apologize but the internet and all phones are down at schools across the Clover School District due to an AT&T outage. This means that schools and the Transportation Department are unable to receive parent phone calls at this time.

CSD parents and guardians will receive a text message and email on Wednesday, July 30, from Apptegy, the district's communication tool provider. This invitation is not spam or junk mail! It will direct you to download the CSD mobile app and create a Rooms account to support communication between you and your child's teacher(s). Secondary parents who created accounts last winter do not need to take any additional action. The primary aim of this distribution is to reach all elementary parents and secondary parents who have not yet set up accounts. Need some help? Check out support resources on our homepage at https://www.clover.k12.sc.us/o/district/page/rooms-support.

We’re excited to welcome our families to school! Check out the flyer for all the details and come meet the wonderful teachers who will be guiding your child this year!

Save the date: Kinard Elementary School will have Spring Class and Individual Pictures on March 13th!

UPDATE: Registration for the Montessori Parent Information Sessions has now closed. Clover School District’s Montessori Program will enter its ninth year in the fall of 2025. For those unfamiliar with the program, the district will host two parent meetings. Griggs Road Elementary School is home to the district’s Montessori program, which hosts two classes of three-, four- and five-year-old students. The Montessori method promotes classrooms that are made up of a mixed age group of students, therefore, forming communities in which the older children spontaneously share their knowledge with the younger ones. Montessori also enables children to explore a variety of materials with differing levels of difficulty and fosters leadership skills. Montessori represents a different approach to education that has successfully developed motivated and self-disciplined learners. This year, Clover School District will host two virtual meetings. Tuesday, February 4, 2025, virtually from 6:00 - 6:30 p.m. Thursday, February 13, 2025, virtually from 12:00 - 12:30 p.m. To register for the program, parents must attend one of the two meetings. Parents can register for the parent information meetings via this link: PARENT INFORMATION MEETING. The program will be open to students throughout the entire district, not just those that live within the Griggs Road zone. The registration form and all required documentation must be submitted by Monday, February 24, 2025, by 3 p.m. The district will hold a lottery on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, to select the students who will be eligible to enroll in the Montessori classes for the 2025-2026 school year. Shortly following the lottery, families will be notified of their placement. Families who are not placed within the Montessori program will have the option to be added to a waiting list for any opening that may occur. Families who registered a pre-kindergarten aged child for the Montessori program who was not selected will have the option to be screened for the district’s pre-kindergarten program. For more information about our Montessori program, click here to visit the Early Childhood Education Section on the website to access the answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Clover School District will open on a one-hour delay, tomorrow, Thursday, January 23, 2025. While roads are relatively clear at this time, we believe the delay will improve visibility where any icy patches are concerned. Start times for tomorrow will be as follows: Elementary Schools–8:35 a.m. Middle Schools–9:00 a.m. High Schools–10:00 a.m. We encourage all families to take necessary safety precautions when traveling to school tomorrow.
