Anderson 3 will operate on a regular schedule for Friday, January 24.
Our Transportation and Operations Teams have worked diligently today to survey current road conditions in the Starr, Iva, and Flat Rock areas. While primary roads are clearing up, unfortunately, many of our rural secondary roads still contain hazardous areas that are not safe for bus travel. ❄️🚌
Because of this, Anderson 3 will hold an eLearning Day on Thursday, January 23. 💻✏️
*Anderson 3 contains the largest geographical area in Anderson County. The rural makeup of our district causes challenges, as snow and ice in shaded areas are slow to melt, especially in low temperatures. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the utmost safety of our students, staff, and families.

Due to potentially unsafe road conditions, Anderson 3 will hold an eLearning Day on Wednesday, January 22. ❄️💻
As a reminder, Monday, January 20, 2025, is a student and staff holiday. 🗓️

After conversations with the National Weather Service and Anderson County Emergency Management, it was determined that the forecasted winter storm is predicted to begin impacting the Anderson area before dismissal times. ❄️

Schools will communicate eLearning information. Please be reminded that students have five (5) school days to complete eLearning work following the date that school operations resume. (This should afford plenty of time for playing in the snow!) 🤞⛄️😉
⚠️ South of I-85 is predicted to receive a higher percentage of ice accumulation. This has the potential to heavily impact our rural roadways and power systems. Please be prepared for any possible power outages and express caution when traveling. ⚠️

With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of Mrs. Kristie Westbrook, a cherished member of the Flat Rock Elementary and Anderson 3 Community. 🩷
Mrs. Westbrook served in the cafeteria at Flat Rock for 13 years before transitioning this year to a 4K Paraprofessional position, where her heart longed to be.
