📱 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.

Dear Ambler Families,
Next week our K5 through 5th grade students will take the first iReady Diagnostic Test. iReady is taking the place of MAP testing. Your child will be tested in Reading and Math in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. It is important for your children to try their best and show what they know.
Thank you for your support!
Our staff is RESTED and READY for a great 2024-2025 school year!
Check out how we spent our summer! We can't wait to see our Ambler family!
