Dear DD4 ​Community,

We continue to closely monitor Tropical Disturbance 94L. Governor McMaster has declared a state of emergency as the system could strengthen into a tropical storm or hurricane approaching the Southeast early next week.

Superintendent Beckwith and our principals are prepared, and we will communicate quickly if school schedules need to be adjusted.

Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of our students.

🎄🚲 Christmas in DD4: Alumni Bicycle Challenge 🚲🎄

Christmas in DD4 returns on December 13, and we need your help to make this year’s event unforgettable!

For Homecoming, we’re challenging all current and past DD4 Alumni Classes to donate bicycles for our students and families.

🏆 The class that donates the most bicycles by 4:00 PM on October 9 will:

Be recognized at halftime of the Homecoming game
Have their class name engraved on the official Christmas in DD4 Trophy for 2025
Take a photo on the field with the Principal and the trophy, which will be displayed for the entire year
Next year, a different class could claim the trophy, so bring your school spirit and generosity!

Let’s come together as One DD4 Family and make a difference this holiday season.

Dorchester County Emergency Management, Dorchester School District Four, and our key stakeholders are closely monitoring Invest 94L (future Imelda), which is currently forecast to become a Tropical Depression near the central and northwest Bahamas in the next few days.

Although details remain uncertain, if impacts do occur, the most likely time frame would be early next week.

Superintendent Beckwith has been in contact with school principals to ensure preparedness in the event school schedules need to be adjusted. Please stay tuned for official updates as forecasts are released.
