Faced with the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fort Mill School District has worked diligently to create a Return to School Plan for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Fort Mill Schools will offer a full virtual option for students in grades 5k-12 for the 2020-21 school year.

At the July 1 Board Meeting, an adjusted calendar was approved by the school board based on recent bill passed by the S.C. Legislature.

The Fort Mill School District will provide breakfast and lunch free of charge during the month of July to all students who are in need.

The Fort Mill School District will proudly present more than 1000 seniors with their high school diplomas at the commencement ceremonies for Fort Mill High School and Nation Ford High School.

Governor Henry McMaster announced on April 22 that the state is extending the closure of schools through the end of the the 2019-2020 academic school year, to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The district has created a plan for the remainder of the academic year to continue eLearning. Our schools and offices will be closed to the public during this time. If you need assistance, please leave a message using the main phone number at your school or the district office and your call will be returned by a staff member in a timely manner.

During this unique and challenging time of school closures we know there are many questions regarding how students will be graded for the 4th quarter (elementary and middle schools) and second semester of the school year. We have been working diligently to develop a fair system to grade students while they are learning remotely.
