We are so excited about our opportunity to engage in productive struggle while learning in Algebra 1 Honors. Coach Carreira and Coach Jeffries, along with a guest clinician, are working hard with our scholars to make sure that they have a conceptual understanding of Algebra 1 and are ready for the Algebra 1 EOCEP! We're looking forward to greatness! Even in the wake of a hurricane, our scholars are showing resilience!

Our Amazing Cafeteria manager, Kacey Britt, hosted "Dinner Etiquette" with our students on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. The trip was in cooperation with the St. George Rosenwald School. Students learned how to set the table, use the correct forks and spoons for meals, and the proper way to hold a glass. Students also got to visit the Children's museum and explore the history of St. George, SC. Thank you for your dedication and hard work Mrs. Britt. Special thanks to Ms. Shiela Keaise at the St. George Rosenwald School for coordinating the visit.

After meeting with our safety team and local officials, Dorchester School District 4 will cancel all after-school activities today, Thursday, September 26th, and will move to an E-Learning Day on Friday, September 27th. This decision was made based on the projected forecast of rain overnight in addition to sustained winds and potential wind gusts in the early morning hours from Hurricane Helene. Schools will be reaching out with e-learning instructions. Your safety remains our foremost concern. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time.

🌟 Shoutout to Mrs. Griffith and Mrs. Berry at Harleyville Elementary School for leading an awesome lesson! Her students were fully engaged in centers, practicing skills they've been working on during lessons. One of the activities had students retelling stories with their friends, while others worked on counting sets using a ten frame, identifying letters, counting groups, and sharpening their social skills by sharing and problem-solving. It's amazing to see such interactive and thoughtful learning in action! 📚👏 #LearningInAction #HES #EngagedLearners #TeacherSpotlight

Here at CHES we believe in the transformative impact of words. Positive language can build confidence, enhance learning, and create a classroom atmosphere where every student feels valued. When we choose words that uplift, encourage, and inspire, we help our students see their potential and persevere through challenges. Remember, a simple "You can do it!" or "I believe in you!" can make all the difference. Join us for our first "Speak Life" Day at CHES!

💻 Happy National I.T. Professionals Day! 📱 Today, we want to give a special shoutout to our amazing I.T. team here at Dorchester School District 4: Elijah DeLee, Andreana Allen, Charlotte Calloway, Brantley Dantzler, Jeff Dantzler, and Daryl Erwin!
