Dear Parents & Guardians,
I hope this letter finds each of you well and in good spirits despite all that is developing surrounding the COVID-19 virus, both locally and globally. I would like to sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding as we have navigated all the resources and suggestions for the best practices for our school community.
We are following the advice and guidelines provided for us collectively by the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) and the Horry County Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).
The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) has required that all students in grades K-8 in public schools participate in LEAP days. These five days have been identified as Learn, Evaluate, Analyze, and Prepare (LEAP) days and are mandatory for all districts. LEAP days must be used for face-to-face assessment activities. We will also use the LEAP days to distribute student Chromebook (for students that need them) and student supply lists as well as meet the classroom teachers and staff. Please report to our campus on the date of your child’s scheduled grade level.

My fourth grade daughter cried each day when it was time to go to school. After enrolling at BWA, she was welcomed warmly and loves her new class. The teachers at BWA have made a huge difference in our lives. Sheila J. 2017
