Jesse Boyd Elementary -

UPDATE FOR WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28: 
D7 eLearning Day
 
After carefully assessing road conditions this afternoon, District 7 is announcing an eLearning Day for Wednesday, January 28. While many primary roads are clear, significant safety concerns remain for ice-covered secondary roads throughout our district. All afterschool athletic events and activities scheduled for Wednesday are also cancelled. 
 
As always, the safety of our students, families, and D7 employees is our highest priority. We will continue to monitor conditions to determine when school operations may resume safely.

Thank you for your partnership and support during this time and always – we are grateful for our D7 Family!

District 7 will hold an eLearning Day tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, due to continuing safety concerns from ice-covered roads and below freezing temperatures expected tonight. All afterschool athletic events and activities scheduled for Tuesday are also cancelled.

We will continue to monitor weather and road conditions across the district and keep our families, teachers and staff informed. As always, safety is our first priority.

If you haven’t yet seen the hundreds of “snow fun” photos shared by our D7 Family on social media yesterday, head over to our district Facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqfrcPCB2/) to scroll through the comments! It is great to see everyone having such a good time.

Please stay safe and enjoy your day!

INCLEMENT WEATHER UPDATE: Monday, January 26 will be an eLearning Day
***All Weekend Activities Cancelled***

District 7 has been closely monitoring the forecast this week and taking important steps to get ready for the days ahead. The National Weather Service has issued an Ice Storm Warning beginning Saturday and continuing through Monday. As a result, ALL activities and field trips are cancelled for Saturday and Sunday, and District 7 will hold an eLearning Day on Monday, January 26. Below freezing temperatures are expected into next week, so we will continue to monitor conditions and communicate any additional updates.

Teachers have communicated instructions on eLearning assignments. If your student brought their Macbook home today, please be sure they fully charge it TONIGHT so they have full power heading into the weekend, in the event of power outages.

Additional information about District 7’s eLearning guidelines can be found here: https://spartanburg7.org/eLearning

Finally, we know our students were hoping for snow! While chances look slim at this point, students are never too old to put spoons under their pillows, wear PJs inside out, and flush ice cubes in hopes of bringing the white stuff. We hope everyone gets to enjoy some fun, and most of all we hope our entire D7 Family stays safe!

As always, thank you for your partnership and support!

100 days of SHINING IN D7! Today marked the 100th day of school and our clever students, teachers and staff brought their best 100-year-old style to school. It is fun to laugh and learn each day in D7! #7SHINES #ToInspireAndEquip

JBE had a great time experiencing Choral Connections at SHS today!

District 7 schools and offices are closed today in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. As we pause to serve in our community and connect with one another by making this a "day on" rather than just a day off, we are heartened by Dr. King's wise reminder that "Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education."

Welcome back! Today, we begin the second half of the school year, and we’re so glad to have our students and staff back where they belong. We can’t wait to see all you’ll accomplish in the months ahead as 7Shines brighter than ever — in classrooms, on fields, and throughout our community.

A New Chapter for Jesse Boyd: Building Legacy, Community, and Opportunity

Gratitude filled the air as District 7 leaders, families, students, teachers, and community members gathered under pale blue skies on the freshly-cleared site of our new Jesse Boyd Elementary on Webber Road. Shovels in hand, leaders joined together not just to turn the dirt, but to fulfill a dream of educational excellence for future generations. November 24, 2025 was a day full of promise as we broke ground on a long-awaited vision: a new Jesse Boyd Elementary School (JBE), which will house the district’s second Little Vikings Employee Childcare Center.

A HUGE thank you to our PTSO Booster team for their amazing work and to our students, families, and teachers for your support during our fundraiser! We surpassed our goal of $40,000 and Mr. Duvall will be on the roof on the evening of November 24! #oneandonlyjbe

We are pleased to announce District 7’s academic calendar for the 2026–2027 school year, which includes two new breaks – one in the fall and one midwinter – to help students and teachers recharge and maintain steady progress throughout the year. All Spartanburg County school districts collaborated to create this calendar with the aim of sustaining strong engagement, prioritizing student and staff well-being, and supporting student success. The calendar continues to include staff development days that allow for professional learning and collaboration among teachers and staff to strengthen instruction for students.
