Complete your summer reading challenge, return your log to school in August for a KCSD reading reward, and join the library for even more summer fun. Elementary and middle school students can earn a free book, and high school students can join the teen summer reading challenge and join fun programming at KCL.

KCSD’s end-of-year updates include half-days on May 21–22, graduation ceremony details, July registration dates and residency requirements, a new high school School-Based Health Center partnership, and the first day of school on July 30, 2026.

Kershaw County School District is shifting to an e-Learning Day for Monday, March 16, as severe weather is forecasted for our area. All school buildings and offices will be closed. All Monday after school activities and sporting events are also cancelled.

The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) will open its online pre-registration process for four- and five-year-old kindergarten classes for the 2026-2027 school year on January 26. Families are able to complete the process online but can also attend in-person help sessions if needed on Thursday, February 19. The online system will be open through February 27.

The Kershaw County School District warmly invites our families and community members to join us in celebrating the season through music, dance, and holiday cheer! From festive concerts to tree lightings and community caroling, our schools are spreading joy all across the county.  View our schedule of holiday events -- most of which are free to the community.
