However, we will honor and show our appreciation for your service to our country through a virtual Veterans Day Program that will be posted on the Cowpens Elementary School webpage and on social media on 

Cowpens Elementary School will be closed on November 2 and 3, 2020.

Please see the PDF below for the upcoming testing dates in Second Grade. 

Families with students in Spartanburg School District Three who would like to request assistance with Christmas must complete an application.  In-person applications will not be taken due to Covid-19 restrictions.  Instead, we have an application available for you to complete online. All applications must be submitted by November 30, 2020 to be considered for assistance.  If you do not have access to the Internet and would like an application sent home by your child, please contact your child’s school.  Applications will also be taken on the phone at 279-6021 or 279-6022.  Please include a working phone number on your application.
 
 Please include the following with your application:
•    Verification of Household Income
•    Monthly Bills/Expenses
•    Name/Address of Employer
•    Name/Contact Number of Caseworker (if applicable)
•    Free/Reduced Lunch Eligibility Required (if an application is not on file, one must be completed before approval for assistance)
•    Be sure to include correct sizing for clothing – regular or slim for jeans, etc.
•    Do not include large electronics or cell phones under wish list

Due to safety concerns related to COVID-19, we have canceled our Fall Festival for this school year. We will certainly miss all of the fun and fellowship that we look forward to every year.   

 We do plan to create several baskets for online auctions later in October, in November and in December.  More information to come soon.
