Congratulations to Mr. Barksdale for his award on promoting Mathematics Achievement in The First In Math Online Program for the 2023-2024 School Year!

Congratulations to all of our Pre-K students for their wonderful achievements!


Sydnor Jennings Elementary School recently hosted an awards ceremony for the entire school year. Families were invited to celebrate with their child as they were recognized for different achievements. Students were awarded for honor roll, attendance, improvement, AR goal and First In Math.


Thanks to our Dunking Booth Fundraiser, Sydnor Jennings students raised over $800 and a check was presented to the American Cancer Association.

The last day of school for students will be Wednesday, May 29, 2024. Students at South Boston Elementary School and South Boston Early Learning Center will dismiss at 11:00 AM. All other students will dismiss at 11:30 AM.
We hope you have a wonderful, safe summer!


All schools and offices will be closed on Monday, May 27, 2024 in observance of Memorial Day.

Students at Sydnor Jennings Elementary School put their spare change toward a cause. They participated in the “pennies are positive” PTO challenge. Students placed pennies in their grade level container for positive points. The grade level with the most points got to spray Principal John Courtney with silly string. The second graders won the challenge.

Mrs. Waller's first grade students have been learning about animals and their habitats. Students were challenged to choose an animal and create a 3D model of their habitat. They were to include anything the animal needs to survive in their habitat.
