Powdersville High

Anderson One Families, Out of an abundance of caution, Anderson School District One will have an eLearning Day on Friday, September 27 due to severe weather anticipated from Hurricane Helene. We plan to be on a regular schedule on Thursday, September 26, but Anderson One will be canceling any after-school activities on Thursday after 6:00 pm. At this time, we still plan to have after-school programs at our elementary schools and after-school tutoring at our high schools, but we will continue to monitor the weather throughout the day tomorrow. The National Weather Service is predicting several inches of rain and extremely high winds for our area. There is also a chance of severe weather Thursday evening through late Friday morning. Guidance from the South Carolina Department of Education states that school buses should not be in operation when sustained winds exceed 30mph or wind gusts exceed 40mph. Due to the wind speeds currently projected, it would be unsafe for buses to operate on the roads. Administrators will closely monitor the weather on Friday to make the best decision regarding extracurricular activities scheduled for Friday evening and this weekend. These decisions will be made based upon several factors including the weather forecast, road conditions, and our ability to safely carry out the activity in the event of a power outage or other potential obstacles. The appropriate school personnel will do their best to communicate our plans promptly. Please check your school’s social media for more information about these specific events. I hope you all stay safe during this weather event! Please see the guidelines below for the Anderson School District One Learning Days. The following guidelines are in place to complete eLearning lessons: Elementary School: Assignments will be posted in Seesaw, and students have 5 school days to complete work. Middle/High School: Assignments will be posted in Google Classroom, and students have 5 school days to complete work. Teachers will have the following office hours: 9:00-10:30 and 1:30-3:00. During this time, teachers will be available to answer questions via Seesaw messenger or email. Sincerely, Dr. Seth Young Superintendent for Anderson One

Anderson School District One is continuing to monitor the weather forecast for Thursday evening and Friday morning. We are in communication with Anderson County Emergency Management and The National Weather Service. We are also in communication with the other districts in Anderson County, and as we gather more information, we will make an announcement regarding any changes to the schedule this week.

💙 and 💛 for Isaac. The Wren community can count on your Pville neighbors to continue to pray for Isaac. 🙏 #prayersforisaac For more pictures, view our Insta @powdersvillehs
