About Be Present S.C.:
The SC Education Oversight’s Be Present S.C. campaign is dedicated to improving school attendance across South Carolina. Most recent data shows that our state’s chronic absenteeism rate is at 22.5% — making nearly one in four SC public school students chronically absent. The S.C. Education Oversight Committee undertook the campaign after it was bought to the committee’s attention chronic absenteeism’s negative impact on student achievement. By raising awareness, we aim to empower parents and students to prioritize school attendance. Our goal is to foster a community where every child attends school consistently, paving the way for academic success and a brighter future.

Congratulations to our 5th grade students for an outstanding presentation of their PYP IB Exhibition projects! Students spent time researching important topics, selecting causes that can positively impact the world around us, and confidently sharing their learning with families and guests. Their creativity, critical thinking, and passion for making a difference were truly inspiring.

Following the presentations, students were honored with promotion certificates as they celebrate the completion of their elementary years and prepare for the exciting transition to middle school. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to seeing their continued success in the years ahead!
