Students in several Lowcountry school districts, including Charleston County, Dorchester Districts 2 and 4, Berkeley County, and Williamsburg County, resume classes on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, following winter break. Colleton County and Georgetown County hold teacher workdays that day, so their students return Wednesday, January 7.
Safety Reminders
Officials urge drivers to slow down, watch for children near bus stops, and stop for school buses on morning routes. Increased pedestrian and bus activity heightens risks as the new semester starts.
Upcoming Break
Most districts schedule January 19 off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Teachers in many areas returned Monday to prepare classrooms.
This aligns with your focus on Charleston-area updates, especially with more traffic near James Island and Ladson projects. Drive cautiously tomorrow.
