South Elementary School Mission Statement
At South Elementary, we believe it is our responsibility to offer authentic learning environments that will develop our students’ abilities to critically approach their world and learn to connect, collaborate, create, and communicate their ideas, by instilling 21st Century skills and inspiring lifelong learning in every student.

                                    

What is Title I?
Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides financial assistance to state and local educational agencies to meet the needs of educationally deprived, at-risk children.  The goal of Title I is to provide instructional services and activities to meet the needs of disadvantaged children identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state’s challenging performance standards.

In June 2014, the South Carolina General Assembly passed Act 284 (Read to Succeed),as a monumental step toward closing the state’s achievement gap and increasing opportunities for all students in South Carolina. The goal of Read to Succeed is to ensure all students graduate from high school with the reading and writing skills they need to be college- and career-ready. Read to Succeed legislation is ground-breaking for South Carolina because it is comprehensive, systematic, and affects every educator and student in the state through eight components: 

1. State, district, and school reading plans 
2. Focus on third grade progression 
3. Summer reading camps 
4. Provision of reading interventions 
5. Requirements for in-service educator endorsements 
6. Early learning and literacy development 
7. Teacher preparation 
8. Reading Coaches
