The School District of Oconee County invites families with students entering K5-Kindergarten this fall to participate in our Jump into Kindergarten program.  This program will introduce students and families to school administration, teachers, and give a glimpse into what a typical school day looks like for kindergarteners. Families are encouraged to attend one of the sessions listed below for the school their student will attend.  Questions should be directed to schools.

SDOC is continually reviewing safety and security measures. To enhance safety inside athletic venues, the district will implement a Clear Bag Protocol as part of the screening process to enter all athletic events for the 2022-2023 school year. A clear bag is easily searched, reduces faulty bag searches, and supports the Department of Homeland Security's "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign.

SPECTATORS WILL BE PERMITTED TO CARRY 

ONE LARGE CLEAR BAG UP TO 12” X 12” X 6”

PLUS A SMALL CLUTCH PURSE  up to 4.5" X 6.5"
