📱 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.

STATEMENT - SECURE
11/01/24
Six Mile Elementary School Families,
This message is to inform you that at 11:20 this morning (11/01/24), Six Mile Elementary went into SECURE as a precautionary measure while law enforcement investigates a situation that occurred off campus.
A Secure is when we stay inside the building and do business as usual. School remains the same except that students and staff stay inside.
As a reminder, the School District of Pickens County follows the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) to guide our crisis response. The SRP is designed to help staff, students, parents, and first responders respond quickly and effectively in various situations.
There was no threat to the school, but we wanted to keep you informed about today’s events.
Thank you for your continued support of the staff and students at Six Mile Elementary.
If you are having difficulty ordering pictures, we learned yesterday that you can click this link:
