All Veterans and families are invited to join us this coming Tuesday morning as we honor Veterans Day! We have a wonderful student led assembly planned to salute those who served and continue to serve.
A quick reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, November 3 (staff exchange day) and Tuesday, November 4 (Election Day). Before the busy week ahead, be sure to “fall back” one hour on Sunday when Daylight Saving Time ends.
Need a FUN AND SAFE PLACE for your child or teen to go on Monday and Tuesday? Our partners at the City of Spartanburg Parks, Recreation & Special Events are offering camps at our community centers! See the attached flyers for info.
Finally, we encourage our entire community to get out and VOTE. To preview your personalized ballot, visit:

Your voice matters—every vote makes a difference, and we can’t wait to see our community at the polls!

Thank you for staying connected and supporting our students, schools, and Viking Nation — where #7Shines! 🌟
Last Friday may have been a day off for our students, but classrooms across D7 were still buzzing with energy and ideas! Our teachers spent the day diving into professional learning — sharpening their skills and exploring new strategies to make learning even more engaging and effective.
From creative new ideas for hands-on science activities 🧪, to learning how to teach stronger writing skills ✏️ , to using AI effectively in education 🤖 — our educators were all in! They also deepened their understanding of our instructional framework, explored helpful apps that support teaching, and strengthened their understanding of how to implement Multi-Tiered Systems of Support to help students struggling with academics or behavior. D7 also welcomed physical education teachers from other districts to learn new research-based curriculum to foster students' wellbeing and physical health.
Every session connected back to our mission "to inspire and equip students for lives of leadership and service". 💙💛 Because when teachers grow, students shine! ✨
