Important March 24 Update
-
On Tuesday, March 24, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order extending the closure of all South Carolina Schools through the end of April, in response to the spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
York School District One has been preparing for this possibility, and we want to reassure you: we remain committed to providing essential services for our students, even during these difficult times. We intend to continue student meal service.
We know this news will create many questions and challenges for our students, staff, and families, and we’ll be sharing more information in the coming days.

The South Carolina Governor announced the closure of all South Carolina schools beginning Monday, March 16 through the end of the month, with the possibility of extending the closure for a longer period due to concerns about COVID-19. In accordance with this order York School District One closed beginning Monday, March 16. This includes the cancellation of all after-school activities, sports, and programs.
The strength of our school district is our community. We recognize that this situation may be unsettling. We have been working to prepare for this scenario so that student learning and meal service can continue in an alternative format.
This site will provide resources to our school community during the school closure.

Can you tell me more about the Student Learning Packets?
As part of our alternative learning plan, teachers will begin communicating with parents and students via Remind and Canvas.
Teachers and schools have been creating Alternative Learning Packets to make student learning resources available during the closure. These packets will be paper-based and make use of supplies that you have around your house.
More details and digital copies of the learning packets are at https://www.york.k12.sc.us/domain/606.

I understand student meals are available. Can I get more information?
We have made arrangements to provide school meals for all students in grades 3K - 12th grade. Beginning Monday, March 16, 2020 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM we have a drive-through meal pickup opportunity for our school community. All families with students in York School District One can go to York Comprehensive High School and pick up a school meal for each student. This will continue throughout the mandatory school closure, daily Monday-Friday. Pickup will occur off Lincoln Road at Cat Scratch Alley. We will provide signage throughout the school campus.
