Enjoy the snow!!
As we look ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, we’re excited to share some important changes to the way we deliver our preschool programs across the district.
After thoughtful consideration and planning, we will be transitioning to a new model where preschool classes will be offered at four central “hub” schools instead of at every school site. Six Mile Elementary will be one of those sites!

Registration begins January 13.
📱 Revised Personal Electronic Device Policy: Beginning January 2025 📱
Under a new South Carolina policy, schools are required to limit students' access to cell phones and other personal devices during the school day. The School District of Pickens County has adopted a revised Personal Electronic Device Policy to comply with state law (Budget Proviso 1.103).
✔️Devices must be silenced and stored in lockers, backpacks, or other designated areas throughout the instructional time.
✔️Devices include but are not limited to, cell phones, smart watches, tablets, and gaming devices.
We encourage parents to discuss this policy with their children and support its implementation when we return in January. Thank you for partnering with us as we implement this required policy.
Please visit this site for detailed information [www.pickens.k12.sc.us/page/sdpc-cell-phone-policy].
If you have a student in grades 4 or 5 that would be interested in this program, registration has been extended until December 20.
Lost and Found items will be in the cafeteria between 8 and 10 on Thursday, December 19. Parents are welcome to come and look for their child's lost items. All students will have an opportunity to look through items as well.
