Due to ongoing flooding and the potential for hazardous travel conditions, Columbus County Schools will conduct Remote Instruction on Tuesday, September 17th, 2024. This applies to both students and staff. Schools will provide additional details regarding assignments and remote learning procedures. Students will be allowed to make up work missed during Remote Instruction. All extracurricular activities are canceled. We understand that closing schools for in-person instruction is disruptive and that students benefit most from being in the classroom. However, the safety of our students, parents, and staff is our highest priority. Based on current reports and observed conditions, traveling to and from our campuses could be dangerous tomorrow, particularly in the areas hardest hit by the flooding. We aim to resume in-person instruction on Wednesday, September 18th, provided conditions improve. We will keep you informed of any updates to this plan.

This past Friday at TCS, fourth grade students performed their Candy Rock Cycle activity in Science class. Students used Starburst candy to make sediment and squished the pieces together to make sedimentary rock. Students then applied heat and pressure to their sedimentary rock to form a metamorphic rock. Finally, students heated their metamorphic rock until it melted, forming magma. Once their magma cooled into a solid, they were left with an igneous rock. Students then could start the whole cycle over again, just like the rock cycle! 🪨🥼🔄
