*TWO-HOUR DELAY FRIDAY, JANUARY 30*

Dear District Three families, 

After a careful review of road conditions, Spartanburg School District Three will operate on a two-hour delay on Friday, January 30. Bus schedules and morning drop-off times will occur exactly two hours later than usual. Additionally, all Saturday and Sunday activities have been canceled.

Buses will not operate on roads that are icy and unsafe for buses to travel.

Although many primary roads are passable, several secondary roads within our district remain icy and hazardous. The delayed start will allow additional daylight and safer travel conditions for buses, and student drivers.

If you live on one of the following roads or are impacted by one of the following roads, and a bus cannot get to you, and you have no way to transport your child, and you plan to keep your child at home tomorrow, you must notify your child’s school and the absence will be excused. There may be additional roads that are hazardous, but this is the list of roads our buses will not travel.

    River Street
    Beacon Light Road
    Lewis Chapel Road
    Sutton Road (Glendale area)
    Whitestone Road
    Cedar Street
    Giles Road
    Kirby Drive
    Mt. Olive Road
    Emma Cudd Road
    Jerusalem Road
    Crocker Road
    Glendale Street
    Georgia Street
    Hill Street
    Sutton Road (Pacolet area)
    Courtney Road
    Denton Road
    Bunche Lane
    Hillview Road
    Thurgood Marshall Road
    Burns Road
    Heritage Court
    Heritage Drive
    Chaffin Road
    Millstream Road
    Old Schoolhouse Road
    Glenbrook Drive

Students who are driving to Broome High School tomorrow need to be extra careful because, although the ice has been sanded, there is still ice at the three-way stop where Cherry Road and Heritage Hills Drive intersect and near the entrance of the student parking lot.

The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Dear District Three families, 

After careful consideration, Spartanburg School District Three will be closed on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. This will be an eLearning Day. All afterschool and athletic events are also canceled.

Below-freezing temperatures combined with existing ice are expected to create hazardous road conditions, making travel unsafe. D3 still has many secondary roads that are impassable and dangerous for buses and student drivers to travel.

The National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for this evening until Tuesday at noon. Overnight temperatures are expected to dip into the teens for parts of the upstate, including D3.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 

*SPARTANBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT THREE CLOSED ON MONDAY*

Dear District Three Families,

Based on the strong potential for inclement weather and hazardous travel conditions, Spartanburg School District Three will hold an eLearning Day on Monday, January 26, 2026.

This decision was made with the safety of our students and staff at the forefront. The National Weather Service has issued an Ice Storm Warning beginning Saturday and continuing through Monday for the area of the upstate that includes D3.

Teachers helped prepare students today for assignments that will cover Monday as an eLearning Day and additional days if needed. The assignments accommodate options for those who experience power outages or have no internet access. Weather conditions are expected to worsen over the weekend, with below-freezing temperatures extending into next week.

We will continue to monitor conditions and share any additional updates as needed. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Please join us in congratulating the newest Junior Beta Club members at Cowpens Elementary School! These outstanding students have earned this honor through their leadership and commitment, both in and out of the classroom. We’re excited to see the positive impact they will make! #BeTheChange

The Broome High School Athletic Department will honor the 1990 Girls’ State Championship Basketball Team on Friday, January 30th, when our Centurions host the Woodruff Wolverines.

We look forward to celebrating the 1990 State Championship Team at halftime of the varsity boys’ game, which begins at 7:30 pm! 🏆

Thanks to the generosity of many churches, organizations, and individuals in and around our community, we were able to help provide gifts this Christmas for 650 students!

We are so grateful for their support, along with Mrs. Ruth Schoonover and her dedicated team, for their tireless work in distributing hundreds of gifts to our families through the District Three Christmas Assistance program. Their commitment and compassion make a meaningful difference, and they do a phenomenal job. #BetheChange!

Congratulations to Broome High School senior Asher Littlejohn, who participated in the Touchstone Energy Cooperatives North South Bowl. The game features the state's top high school seniors, divided into North and South teams.

In addition to the game, Asher also had the opportunity to mentor a younger child on a Christmas shopping spree. Great job, Asher! #ConquerAndPrevail
