Allendale-Fairfax Elementary School

Ministers in Action: Pastors with a Presence is a group of local ministers who have volunteered to become mentors for our students. They held a roundtable discussion to hear ideas and input from students and administrators alike. Together they were able to develop a innovative solution to address issues both in the classroom and at home. We hope that this program will bridge a gap and provide additional support for our students so that they can succeed in life. They will begin having a presence in our schools beginning February 23, 2024. We are grateful for their assistance and their willingness to impact the live of our scholars.

Allendale County School District prioritizes the safety of our students. Lysol wipes were donated by Bamberg County Schools and will be sent home with each student to prevent the spread of germs. As we enter Flu Season, here are some important tips to follow: -Make sure that all of your child’s vaccinations are up-to-date, especially the flu shot. -Teach your child to wash their hands properly by using warm water and soap for 15 to 20 seconds. -Prevent your child from spreading their germs by keeping them home from school and other activities when they are sick. -Sanitize your home and other shared surfaces regularly with a good disinfectant at least once a week during flu season.

Parents and Guardians, it is important that your child(ren) attend school to avoid truancy. Please take a moment to review this flyer to learn about truancy and how to avoid it. Vanessa Badger is the truancy officer for Allendale County Schools. She is excited to work with our students and their families as the district strives to make regular school attendance a priority.
