We are thrilled to be welcoming 17 students and two teachers from Germany who will be joining us for two weeks in September. If your family would like to volunteer to host a student or teacher in your home, we would be most grateful.
Additionally, we need one family to host a (female) student from Brazil for the 2024-25 school year. As usual, we want to make sure our new international students are well accommodated when they arrive. Host families do receive a stipend for hosting to cover expenses like meals, transportation, etc.
If you are interested in these opportunities to make new international connections, please email Trish Cobourn at trish.cobourn@sdsgriffin.org.

Magnus Health Update:
As always, please reach out to the school nurse with any questions.
Over the past several weeks, Spartanburg County has been experiencing a significant increase in the prevalence of respiratory viruses (COVID, influenza, and RSV). These viruses can present like the common cold or seasonal allergies.
Though we love seeing each other at school, please remember to remain home when you are ill. Students need to be fever-free for 24 hours (without fever reducing medication), no vomiting for 24 hours, no diarrhea for 24 hours. Also, they should be generally well enough to participate in daily activities.
If your child has tested positive for COVID-19, please notify me for a return to school discussion. Remain at home until you have spoken to me and advised on returning to school. No quarantine is required for close contacts or house-hold contacts of persons exposed to COVID-19.
To prevent the spread of viral respiratory infections:
SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE GRIFFIN CLINIC
All students are now able to take advantage of services offered by the Griffin Clinic, even if you aren't registered. One-time visits are $40, billed through your FACTS account.
