It's almost time for SC READY testing. Third through fifth grade students are preparing for the test. With that in mind, we wanted to share the testing schedule so that everyone can plan accordingly. It is important that students are present and on time during testing. If you have any questions or concerns, we can be reached at (803) 534-5982.
