Change in weather is a major factor in producing asthmatic episodes. Many of ourstudents have compromised respiratory status during this time of year. As you know,strong scents such as colognes, deodorants, and perfumed hand/ body lotions are an
allergen for many individuals, possibly causing an asthmatic attack for some stu-dents. Parents, we are asking you take this under consideration as you arepreparing your student to school each morning. Parents, please be advisedthat if your student is wearing strong scented cologne, deodorant, or hand lotion atschool and another student is having respiratory issues in that class, the teacher hasbeen informed to speak with these students discreetly and ask them to go to therestroom to wash off the scented substance with soap and water (those studentswith mild deodorants, etc. will not be impacted by this practice). This will protectall of our students. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation in this important
health issue.
You can help in the following ways: PTSO membership of $7 Volunteering to help in school events
Using your grocery tags to help us earn money
Participating in our donation fundraiser (costs you less and helps us
more, than selling products or coupon books)
Using your grocery tags to help us earn money and sending in baked goods or
chili when we hold those events!!
Chick-Fil-A biscuit sales are Friday, October 4th! We are ordering more biscuits
this time, but come early if you want to be sure to get one!
Chicken Biscuits $3, Water $1
The Scholastic Book Fair will be held toward the end of October, so watch for news
on that. We will be sending home information on all of the above as soon as we get all
of our grocery program information in (there have been some changes, so when you
see it, check it out!). Questions or to help out - contact Jan Faber at (803) 873-6464 or
Nursing Note.
PTSO Notes...
Thank you all for your support so far for the PTSO. Our organization helpsthe school directly, by providing volunteers to help with events, sponsor-
ing teacher and staff appreciation events, and purchasing equipment for
the school. It cant be successful without the help of parents!

Eighth Graders begin to EXPLORE their future Career opportunities
More than ever before, it is important that all students have the skills needed to be successful in college and theworkplace. Becoming college-ready does not happen overnight; students develop these skills by taking rigorouscourses in middle and high school. On Tuesday, September 24th our 8th graders will take the EXPLORE Assess-ment.
EXPLORE helps 8th graders build high school course plans that will prepare them for college and work. It intro-duces them to relevant career options.
EXPLORE identifies;
Areas where they need extra help or additional courses.
Suggestions for improving their skills.
Careers that match their interests.
EXPLORE scores provide early indicators of whether students are on trackfor college. With plenty of time before graduation, students and teacherscan use this information to focus on areas of need. To learn more about
EXPLORE, PLAN or ACT resources at www.actstudent.org.
EXPLORE includes:
Tests in English, math, reading, and science just like thePlan (10th grade) and ACT (11thgrade).
A career section that shows you which careers match your interest.
Questions about your plans for high school and beyond.
A guide stating what your scores mean and how you can use them.
Tips for Doing your Best on Explore:
Get plenty of sleep the night before the test.
Follow directions exactly, and dont be afraid to ask questions.
EXPLORE is a timed test, so pace yourself! Dont spend too much time on any one question.
Not sure of the answer? First rule out every wrong answer you can. Then, pick the best answer from thoseleft.
If you finish early, go back and review your work.
