Register for HCS Child Development Screenings

 While Child Development (CD) Early Registration was held April 11-15, 2016, schools continue to register children for eligibility screenings for the 4 year-old CD Program. Interested parents should go the elementary school in their attendance area* and bring the following required documents: child’s legal birth certificate, child’s shot record, parents’ proof of income (2015 income tax return or child’s Medicaid card), and proof of residency. The child’s social security card is requested, but is not required. Once the registration packet is completed the child will be given a screening appointment. Screenings will be held May 25 - June 1.  For more program information visit the link below.

End of the Year Schedule (Wed-Fri, June 1-3)

Horry County Schools will add a make-up day to the end of the school year on Friday, June 3, for the weather-related closure in February. South Carolina law, Section 59-1-425, requires that school districts make up the first three school days missed due to inclement weather. This will be the third required make-up day for Horry County Schools, and students have already made up the two previous days.

In order to accommodate the various high school graduation ceremonies, schools will operate on different schedules by attendance areas for students on the last three days of the school year, June 1-3. Graduation dates and times will not be impacted by the make-up schedule. The schedules are as follows:

Wednesday, June 1:

• Full day for students who attend schools in the Aynor, Carolina Forest, Green Sea-Floyds, North Myrtle Beach, and St. James attendance areas.
• Half day (2.5 hour early release) for students who attend schools in the Conway, Loris, Myrtle Beach, and Socastee attendance areas.

Thursday, June 2:

• Full day for students who attend schools in the Conway, Loris, Myrtle Beach, and Socastee attendance areas.
• Half day for students (2.5 hour early release) who attend schools in the Aynor, Carolina Forest, Green Sea-Floyds, North Myrtle Beach, and St. James attendance areas.

Friday, June 3:

Students with personalized schedules who travel between schools for specific classes should contact the administration of their base school for further instruction about the make-up day.
