Weekly Updates

Yesterday’s Eighth-Grade Celebration honored members of the Class of 2030 as they near the end of their Middle School journey. These students are more than ready for the adventures ahead! Be sure to check out our 8th Grade Celebration photo gallery here.

Final Exam Schedule (Grades 5-8)
As we prepare for the end of the school year, we want to share the planned schedule for exam week. Since Friday is slated to be a make-up day, students do not report to school on Friday unless they are completing a make-up exam.

Book, Technology, and Uniform Returns – Middle School
As we move toward the close of the school year, all textbooks, library books, and athletic uniforms should be returned before the last project/assessment block on Thursday, May 28.

Technology Returns - All 8th-grade students and students not returning next school year will turn in their iPads with the full case, keyboard, and chargers after their last class meets. Students in grades 5-7 who are returning next year will keep their iPads over the summer. If students need their iPad fixed or looked at over the summer, they are encouraged to leave their iPad with the help desk at this time. We will provide more details to the students before the return date. Report cards and final transcripts will be held if these items are not returned or if accounts are not paid in full.

Bus Service for the 2026-27 School Year
Ride It Out, LLC is proud to be providing its sixth year of bus service to Porter-Gaud East Cooper Families for the 2026-2027 school year. Due to increased operational costs and fuel costs, they will be increasing prices slightly for the 2026-2027 school year. Prices are as follows:

• Round-Trip for One Child: $315 per month (annual cost $3,150.00). If paid in full by 7/1/2026, a one-month discount will be applied, and the annual cost will be $2,992.
• One Way: $255 per month (annual cost $2,550.00).  If paid in full by July 1, 2026, a one-month discount will be applied, and the annual cost will be $2,422.

Once they receive your submission, Ride It Out will contact you to confirm your registration and share their ridership contract. For new families using bus service, please note that parents will be entering into contracts directly with the bus company, and issues that occur with bus transportation should be handled directly with Ride It Out. Porter-Gaud is merely facilitating the stop locations on our campuses and initial communications to parents.
