We are SO excited to welcome both new siblings and new families to BA this August. We look forward to having you as part of the BA family and look forward to a great school year.
We remain as committed as ever to our belief that the role of our school is to offer children opportunities to form lasting friendships and develop independence and confidence in their emerging social and academic abilities. Your child will have a wonderful experience next year and we are so pleased you have chosen our school for your family.
Beaufort Academy believes communication between parents and the school is key. We may be a small school, but we have just as many activities and accomplishments as any other institution. We do our best to inform parents of campus events, fundraisers, photos, spirit nights, athletic events, and so on. As you transition from the admissions process to an enrolled family, we want to make that journey as easy as possible and answer any questions you may have. The information and links below will help prepare you for the upcoming year. Please check back often for updates throughout the summer!
List of 3 items.

If you have an additional parent or guardian to be added, please let me know as soon as possible. Only submitted emails and contacts will receive updates and invites to Blackbaud. **PLEASE do not create an account, you can only be invited to Beaufort Academy's portal.**
ParentSquare is the hub of all BA communication; between you and your student(s), classrooms, teachers, and groups regarding all of the things happening at BA; from sports and school closings to field trips and fundraisers, supply lists, textbook lists, along with other back to school information.

Student Allergy, Medications & Immunizations
If your child has an allergy or takes medication, please complete a FARE form ASAP. It is important for us to have a copy of their updated South Carolina immunization record on file before they start school. Your doctor’s office may email immunization records directly to the school. If I have the latest copy, please disregard, but if they are not on a South Carolina form or have changed since you've given me a copy, be sure to send our way. If you are just moving to the area, please make an appointment with a pediatrician or DHEC upon your arrival to update to a proper South Carolina form. This document is needed before your student attends BA.
Bring any forms that need to be submitted such as Hard Copy forms, FARE plan, medical, Eagle's Nest registration, Junior Eagle Eats, etc.
The list of personal supplies needed are attached.
Remember: Our preschool building is completely nut-free.
Please plan to bring lunch the first week of school, as school lunch ordering does not start until August Monday August, 18. Junior Eagle Eats lunch order forms are due by Monday, 8/11. You can only order once for the year, get your orders in time!
If you have not completed the required back to school forms on Blackbaud yet, please do so as soon as possible.
Updated immunizations must be submitted to the school before the first day of school.
New students will receive a BA crest t-shirt the first week of school, but if you would like to purchase more BA gear, you can do so on our website here.
