MNE LOVED having a visit from Dr. Dixon, BCSD Superintendent last week. We of course had him spin the wheel and join one of our houses. The COMPASSION house chose him, so we fully expect to see him in all purple for all of his future visits to MNE.
We are looking forward to see you at Open House this week!

Due to the potential for severe weather resulting from Hurricane Idalia, Berkeley County School District (BCSD) schools will follow the half-day dismissal bell schedule (https://www.bcsdschools.net/o/bcsd/page/school-bell-schedules) on Wednesday, August 30. Thursday, August 31, students will learn from home and complete eLearning Day assignments. All schools and offices will be closed Thursday. BCSD will resume normal operations Friday, September 1.
Before and after-school care programs, activities, and athletics, to include practices and games, are canceled for Wednesday, August 30, and Thursday, August 31. Normal activities and operations will resume on Friday, September 1.
On Thursday, August 31, students will complete eLearning assignments from home via Schoology, Google Classroom, SeeSaw, or other designated virtual learning platforms. Specific information about assignments will be provided by the student’s teacher and/or school. Teachers will share information regarding their office hours to support students completing eLearning assignments at home. More information here: https://www.bcsdschools.net/o/bcsd/page/elearning-day-faqs
Due to the potential for severe weather, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of students, staff, and families, the district will not operate virtual feeding sites on Wednesday or Thursday.
BCSD officials work in partnership with Berkeley County Emergency Management and receive regular updates regarding the weather from the National Weather Service.
As safety and security is our number one priority, officials will continue to monitor the weather and assess any resulting damage.
Schools and offices will reopen and resume normal operations on Friday, September 1.
Berkeley County School District is currently monitoring the forecasts and receiving regular updates from Berkeley County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service on Tropical Storm Idalia. At this time, there are no changes to school operations. Any changes to operations will be communicated to staff and parents.
The South Carolina Department of Education purchased and provided Berkeley County School District and other school districts in our state with My Ride K-12 for communication of bus routes and delays. The app has been unable to provide parents with consistent delay information. BCSD is now tracking bus delays for parents using Google documents.

We had an AMAZING first day of school! Thank you so much to our student, parents, staff and community members for all of your hard work, patience and dedication. A few reminders as we move into day #2.
* Tuesday is the last day that parents will be allowed to walk their student to class. If you plan to walk them in, you will still be required to sign-in and receive your visitors badge.
* The annual "Boo-Hoo/Whoo-Hoo" Breakfast will take place on Tuesday morning in the Media Center. Parents are invited and must have a visitors badge to attend.
* Dismissal will get better and easier each day - we promise!
* Please avoid making transportation changes after 1:00 if at all possible.
Beginning Monday, Berkeley County School District parents and guardians will begin to receive invites for Rooms.
Rooms is a platform that lives within the new BCSD mobile app. It supplements school and district news and information by providing direct communication tools for parents, teachers, athletic coaches, club advisors, etc.
Our goal is to streamline communication and minimize the number of apps parents and guardians need for communication.

Please note that not all teachers and schools are utilizing Rooms at this time, but there is a plan to launch all schools on the platform in the future.
**Additional notes**
Parents will still need to use the PowerSchool Parent portal for academic information.
Rooms will not replace student learning management systems (Schoology).
If you still have not completed your RETURNING STUDENT REGISTRATION, you must do this before your student will be assigned their homeroom teacher. Please bring your paper copies of your military orders and proofs of residency with you to open house tonight. We are looking foward to seeing all of our Pathfinders TONIGHT from 5:30-7:30 for our 23-24 meet the teacher!
With the first day of school less than one week away, we want to make sure families are aware of the new transportation features that pertain to bus riders. Learn more about My Ride K-12 and the student transportation tag program at www.bcsdschools.net/article/1203059.
We can't to see you on Thursday night!
Attention MNE Families,
Our teachers are back at work and busy preparing for your arrival! You should expect to hear from your child's teacher via a phone call by end of day on Tuesday of this week. If you do not receive a call, this probably means that we are missing some important information from you. Please be sure that you have completed your RETURNING STUDENT REGISTRATION AND TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 843-572-3373. We are looking forward to a GREAT year!
Attention Parents,
Please don't forget to drop by MNE's front office THIS WEEK to pick up your child's transportation tag and have your ID scanned. We would love to see you and take care of these important steps for you BEFORE school starts. Our office staff will be ready and waiting for you Monday - Thursday from 8:00-4:00.
As a reminder, please use the links on our Facebook Page to PRE-REGISTER for your transportation tags.
With safety and security being our top priority, all parents planning to walk their child to class on August 21st or 22nd must stop by the front office for a visitors badge. This process is SO MUCH FASTER if we already have your ID scanned into our system.
Please plan to stop by during Transportation Week, August 7th - 10th with your ID. We would love to go ahead and scan it into our system for you.
