  Let's Get Educated, Renewing the Penny!
  Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with The Penny Plan to support Jasper County School Projects!
  Projected Annual Revenue Generated for Jasper County Schools Projects Funding:
  - $8,450,000 per year increasing 1% per year through 2040
  - A significant portion of sales taxes in Jasper County are paid by non-residents
  - Under the plan, debt service millage in the School District will not increase.
  A "YES" vote will:
  ● Continue generating revenue for critical school facility projects.
  ● Help fund the construction and renovation of educational buildings without raising property taxes.
  ● Ensure we provide safe and modern learning environments for our students.
  A "NO" vote will require the School District to find other funding sources (such as increased property taxes) to pay for capital improvements .

  Greetings Jasper County School District Family and Stakeholders!
  
  On the behalf of our superintendent, Dr. Rechel M. Anderson, and our administration, we sincerely hope that you have had and are having a joyful and restful Spring Break.
  
  Since the arrival of our administration in July 2018, we have continued to work very diligently to improve Teaching & Learning in Jasper County School District. We also have worked to hire the best educators to teach our scholars. As we continue to remain Student-Centered...Future-Focused, we are appreciative of the professional educators who embrace our proven researched-based instructional framework. Our framework provides a consistent road map that teachers and students can depend on to provide consistently rigorous learning environments across content areas and grade levels.
  
  To this end, we are excited to share this video example of Ridgeland Elementary School 2nd grade teachers working to instill the love of reading in our young scholars.
  
  Keep soaring Jasper County School District and let's remain focused on our students, improving teaching and learning, and telling our own story! As Dr. Anderson says, in the words of former First Lady Michelle Obama, "When they go low, WE go HIGH!"

• 4:03 WATCH: What is Summer Reading Camp (SRC)?

  Summer Reading Camp starts because of Section 59-155-160 of Read to Succeed Act which states "… a student must be retained in the third grade if the student fails to demonstrate reading proficiency at the end of the third grade as indicated by scoring at the lowest achievement level on the state summative reading assessment which is SC READY. This score would equate to Not Met 1.​
  
  One of the many components of Read to Succeed Act is third grade summer reading camp. Each district must identify third grade students who are not reading proficiently on grade level and provide them with the opportunity to attend a summer reading camp. During the summer reading camps students will be taught by highly qualified teachers who have experience in working with struggling readers. Students will have the opportunity to receive small group and individual instruction to work on their reading, writing, and listening skills. ​
  
  Students who successfully complete Summer Reading Camp and make progress towards reading with grade level proficiency can be promoted to the fourth grade. ​
  
  It is our district’s goal that every third grader becomes a proficient reader and advance on schedule to fourth grade.
