We would love to hear more about why you chose us as your students home for academic and character growth!

We are truly thankful for that. Share YOUR why below! #NSCW2026 #riverwalkacademy #schoolchoiceweek #prideineverystep #whatisyourwhy #projectbasedlearning

Dear Riverwalk Academy Families,
I hope you are doing well and staying warm. I’m writing to share an important update regarding Tuesday.
While road conditions improved throughout the day today, temperatures are expected to drop below freezing this evening and remain below freezing through noon on Tuesday. With moisture still present on roadways, these conditions create a high risk of refreezing and black ice, particularly on neighborhood roads, bridges, and during the early morning commute.
Out of an abundance of caution, and with the safety of our students, families, and staff as our top priority, Riverwalk Academy will continue with an eLearning Day on Tuesday.
Students should follow the same eLearning procedures used today. If internet access is a challenge, students will have five (5) school days to complete assignments once we return to campus. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher or an administrator.
We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will communicate clearly regarding our plan to return to in-person learning as soon as it is safe to do so.
Thank you for your flexibility, understanding, and continued partnership.
Stay safe and warm,
Warm regards,
Chris Carroll
Family Engagement Coordinator

Dear Riverwalk Academy Families,
I hope you are doing well. I’m writing to keep you informed as we closely monitor the weather forecast for this weekend, which includes the potential for a winter storm with freezing temperatures and possible ice that could lead to unsafe driving conditions and power outages.
Our administrative team is actively tracking conditions and preparing for multiple scenarios to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. Depending on how the weather develops, there is a possibility that we may need to implement an e-Learning Day early next week. No decision has been made at this time; however, we want families to know that we are planning ahead and will communicate clearly and promptly if a change to the school schedule becomes necessary.
As always, any decision regarding school operations will be made with safety as our top priority. We will share updates through our usual communication channels should conditions warrant adjustments.
In the meantime, we encourage families to take a few simple steps to stay safe and prepared during winter weather and potential power outages:
Dress in layers and limit time outdoors during extremely cold temperatures.
Check on elderly neighbors or family members who may need additional support.
Keep phones and devices charged, and have flashlights and extra batteries readily available.
Let faucets drip slightly and open cabinet doors to help prevent frozen pipes.
If using space heaters or fireplaces, follow all safety guidelines and never leave them unattended.
Additional winter weather safety information can be found on the SC Emergency Managment’s website.
Thank you for your partnership and flexibility as we navigate the winter weather season together. We appreciate your trust and will continue to keep you informed as conditions evolve.
Stay warm and safe,

It takes a village, and we have one of the best!
