Due to frigid temperatures and worsening weather conditions especially on our side roads, all CSD schools and offices will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22. CSD will conduct an E-Learning Day on Monday, February 17, to make up for tomorrow’s closure. Details about the E-Learning Day will be forthcoming, but please know that we are aware that families may have made plans for intercession. Stay safe and warm and enjoy your snow day.

Out of an abundance of caution, Clover School District (CSD) has canceled all afternoon and evening activities on our campuses beginning at 5 p.m. today. Our community is under a winter weather advisory from 4 p.m. today through 9 a.m. tomorrow. CSD will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22. This delay will allow our staff to evaluate conditions in the morning to determine whether we can open safely or whether it will be necessary to cancel school and plan for an inclement weather make-up day on Monday, February 17.

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.

Addelyn had been asked by Ms. Smith to be a welcome buddy and help our new student with navigating Kinard today. Addelyn went above and beyond, showing her exceptional leadership and kindess. Addelyn took it upon herself to write a Welcome Letter and handcraft a bracelet for our new student. Addelyn has ensured that the student is comfortable and ready to learn at Kinard. We are amazed at Addelyn’s incredible thoughtfulness. Addelyn was rewarded for her leadership with a book from our Book Vending Machine. Way to go Addelyn! Keep leading the way to greatness. ❤

Upcoming KES Fall Picture Day

Earlier this morning, Clover School District administration confirmed that power has been restored in all district buildings and in the majority of homes throughout the community, Clover School District will resume its normal operating schedule on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. A small portion of our families may still be without power. The transportation department has shared that if a student misses a bus on Tuesday due to power issues,, they can call 803-810-8190, and a bus will be sent back to assist. We thank Duke Energy and York Electric for their tireless work to restore power throughout the district following Hurricane Helene's catastrophic impact on the power grid. Additionally, we want to thank our social workers and others who helped families this morning at Clover High School with food, water, and electricity. Finally, we commend the food services department for their efforts to save as much of the district's food supplies as possible by moving products from the buildings without power to those with power. Their work minimized the amount of loss that would have otherwise taken place. Have a good afternoon; we look forward to returning to a sense of normalcy on Tuesday. All schools and buildings will operate on a normal schedule.

CSD UPDATE: Following the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Helene on the power grid in our community, Clover School District will be CLOSED on Monday, September 30, 2024. This will be a full day off for all students and staff. Clover School District will use its listed bad weather make-up day on Monday, January 6, 2025, as a replacement day for Monday. This will be an eLearning Day for students. Currently, several district buildings remain without power, including Bethel Elementary, Griggs Road Elementary, Larne Elementary Oakridge Elementary, Oakridge Middle, Blue Eagle Academy, and the District Office. Additionally, over 7,000 CSD families are without power in their homes. CSD will continue to work with electric providers to assess the timeline for these outages and provide an update on the status for Tuesday as soon as it is available. Thank you, Clover School District

Clover School District has been closely monitoring the forecast around Hurricane Helene and the potential for severe weather in our area starting late Thursday and continuing into morning hours on Friday. Currently, the forecasts suggest that we may experience high winds, heavy rain, and potential flooding that would impact the travel conditions for buses and automobiles. Available information from various sources, including the National Weather Service, show that wind speeds may exceed the state guidelines for safe bus operation. Based on this information, Clover School District will transition to eLearning on Friday, September 27. All CSD buildings will be closed. Parents will receive direct information from their school on the details around the eLearning Day. At this time, forecasts indicate that weather conditions will improve by late Friday afternoon. Therefore, scheduled homecoming events and athletics on Friday evening will continue as planned. However, any changes to the schedule will be communicated by individual schools as needed.
