From The Desk Of The Nurse:

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the end of the school year approaches, I would like to remind you to pick up your child’s medication from school. Policy regulations require the disposal of ALL medications, prescription and non-prescription, which are not picked up. (This includes emergency medications such as Inhalers and EpiPens). The school cannot store any medication over the summer.
Please pick up medications by 3:00pm on Wednesday, June 1st, or the medication(s) will be destroyed.
Please remember a parent or guardian must pick up the medicine by the date indicated above. We cannot send medication home with students. Please stop by the health office to pick up your child’s medication. If you need to make special arrangements, please call me. If your child’s medication is not picked up, it will be destroyed.

Thank you for allowing me to help with meeting your child’s health care needs at school. Have a happy and healthy summer!

Melanie O'Tuel, BSN, RN, NCSN
St James High School

FCCLA
Members of the St. James High School FCCLA team have qualified to represent our school and district at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in San Diego, CA to compete in various categories. The Star Promote and Publicize FCCLA Award, is one of those areas and the students could greatly use the support of our surrounding community.

During the State Competition in March, students were required to create a website and generate traffic to that site. The winner of the award was the team able to generate the most “clicks” to their website. The SJH FCCLA team was able to generate more than 500 visitors to the website to win that award due to the support of the everyone in this building!

This summer these students will be competing at the National event in California. Their goal is to get over 1,000 visits to the website before they attend Nationals on June 29^th.

Every view from the QR code is counted, but only 1 view per device is counted when using the website link. (If you have already visited the website from a computer, your count has already been recorded. Using the QR code allows for multiple visits.)

Attendance Brochure 2021 2022

Attendance Coding Reference

South Carolina state law requires that all children attend school regularly beginning with the school year in which the child is five years of age before September 1st until the child attains his/her 17th birthday or graduates from high school. The school year consists of 180 days, and high school students cannot accumulate more than 5 absences per class and still receive credit for the course, regardless of the grade earned in the course. Family vacations, organizational trips, or retreats during the school year are included in the 5 absences per term. Please refer to the SJHS attendance brochure for specific details regarding attendance laws, policies, and “seat time” sessions.

Students Arriving Late
Students arriving at school after 8:20 must report to the attendance office to sign in and get a tardy pass. Failure to sign in will result in a disciplinary infraction and ISS. Students who miss more than 45 minutes of a class will be considered absent. Hall sweeps will be conducted as a deterrent for tardiness.

Early Dismissal By Parent Request
Students requiring early dismissal should bring a note from their parents to the front desk in order to obtain an early dismissal pass. All requests are to be submitted prior to 8:15 a.m. so that they may be verified by phone. The note must have a phone number at which the parent may be contacted. If the note cannot be verified by phone the student will not be allowed to leave. We cannot accept phone calls for early dismissal. Students will not be issued a tardy pass if they fail to bring their note to the front desk before 8:15 a.m. SJHS will not call classrooms unless it is an emergency; therefore, the student must have a pass to get out of class.

When it is time for students to leave, they are to go by the front desk to sign out. Students who do not bring a note for a pre-arranged medical or legal appointment must remain in class until the period ends before they will be permitted to sign out of school with their parent/guardian. Failure to sign out at the front desk will result in a disciplinary infraction and an assignment of ISS. Students will not be signed out after 3:00 p.m.

Procedures To Follow After An Absence
After an absence students are to report to the front desk before 8:15 a.m. with a note from their parent/guardian or from their doctor. Notes from the parent/guardian or doctor must be submitted to the front desk within three days of an absence. Failure to do so will result in an unverified unexcused absence. Students will not be written a tardy pass to first block because they failed to bring their note to the front desk before 8:15 a.m.

Unlawful Absences
Students who miss school without parental knowledge, and students who are absent from school without acceptable cause with the knowledge of the parent, are considered unlawfully absent. According to the SC Attendance/Truancy Law when students have three consecutive unlawful or unexcused absences or a total of five unlawful or unexcused absences, the school will contact parents and develop an Attendance Intervention Plan (AIP) for improved attendance. Students exceeding five days of unlawful or unexcused absences will be reported to Family Court. Students who have excessive unlawful or unexcused absences in a single class may also be referred to Family Court for truancy.

Excused Absences
The following absences are considered excused: medical, judicial, and bereavement. Students will need to provide documentation for medical, judicial, and bereavement absences upon returning to school. Prearranged absenses for other reasons and/or extreme hardships are at the discretion of the principal.

Reporting Student Absences
Parents are asked to contact Deanna Zirkelbach in the event of students’ absences from school. Parents may call the attendance office at (843) 650-2448 or e-mail dzirkelbach@horrycountyschools.net

_________________________________________________

Greetings from the Darla Moore School of Business Office of Diversity & Inclusion!
We are excited to share an upcoming summer program with you that is designed for rising high school juniors and seniors in South Carolina! As the summer quickly approaches, we know that many students are seeking opportunities to help develop their academic and social skills, while building their resume, so we want to inform you of a unique program that will help them achieve just that.

On June 26^th through June 29^th, we will launch our first Moore Business Success Academy. This three-day summer academy is geared towards students who are interested in pursuing a business degree at the University of South Carolina after graduation. Participants will experience what it’s like to be a Moore School student by residing on campus, participating in engaging social and professional development activities, and will receive focused instruction in several core areas including: accounting, business analytics, economics, financial decision making, marketing, and business communications. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be eligible to receive a $5,000 scholarship (per year for up to four years) upon enrollment at the Darla Moore School of Business.

The application requirements include:
Students who identify as African American or Black, Hispanic, LatinX, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian, Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or Two or More Races.
Students with a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 GPA Scale (or equivalent if high school uses a different scale).
A letter of recommendation (anyone that can speak to student’s academic success).
One graded writing sample (sample must show grade and feedback from teacher).

This is a highly competitive opportunity and is only being extended to 20 students, so please encourage your students to apply today! For questions, please contact Ashley Elliott, Manager of Scholar Engagement at diversity@moore.sc.edu.
