Everything You Need to Know For the Coming Week
July 19, 2024
A Note From Principal Hauser
It was wonderful seeing so many families at our Open House event on Thursday evening! Typically this message would go out on Sunday evening but I wanted to give you time to process all the back to school information. It's going to be a great year at Easley and we are looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early Monday morning!
Transportation
Please allow a fifteen minute grace period for bus pick-up and drop-off while they workout the schedule. You can track the bus using the edulog app. Should you have any bus transportation questions, please reach out to Mrs. Boggan at Farrah_Boggan@dpsnc.net. You may also call but please know that email will get you the fastest response during the first few weeks of school.
Carline Procedures
Students should arrive between 7:15 - 7:45 a.m. Please CLICK HERE to view the carline procedures. Morning arrival is in the front of the school and afternoon pick-up is in the back of the school. Please be patent these first few days as our new families learn how to navigate our arrival and dismissal procedures.
Lunch is Free This Year
We have great news! Lunch is free for ALL DPS students this year. Please take a moment and complete this very short form to let us know your child's lunch plans. This will allow our cafeteria staff to gauge how much food to prepare until they get a good handle on how many students will be eating school lunch each day. Thank you!
Bloomz
We utilize Bloomz as our school messaging tool. First through fifth grade parents should have received an email from Bloomz with an invitation to join your child's classroom. If you are new to Bloomz, you will need to download the app on your phone or access it from a computer at https://www.bloomz.com/. If you did not get an email, please reach out to your child's teacher. We do know there has been a glitch with pulling in our kindergarten students, so if your child is in kindergarten, just sit tight for the time being while we get that sorted out

You can also pay for dinner plates at the same link Please note this link is the only credit/debit card payment option available. We encourage everyone to pay by noon on July 30, so that we can send tickets home with your child and quickly check everyone in at the event.
