Easley Weekly Update

I hope everyone had a good weekend and is ready for the week ahead.

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our family culture night on Thursday evening; that event just gets better and better! Thank you to all of the families who hosted a table and shared their culture with our school community, it was a such a treat! A thank you is also due to the school committee who put the event together and to Mrs. Haas and our second graders for another awesome performance!

Spring Break Intersession

We will be on break from March 18th to April 5th.

Teacher of the Year Nominations

It's the time of year where we nominate and select Easley's Teacher of the Year for the following school year. This process is typically done internally but this year I am opening the nomination process to parents. The staff will still vote on the nominees but I like the idea of parents being able to make nominations.

To be eligible for selection as a Teacher of the Year, a person must hold a Standard Professional 2 (SP2) license. The teacher must be employed full time and spend at least 70% of his or her time in direct instruction of North Carolina public school students (North Carolina State Board of Education Policy, March, 2008).

Who does not qualify as a candidate from your school? Personnel whose major responsibilities are administrative or supervisory are not eligible. In addition, school counselors, school speech pathologists, school psychologists, school social workers, media coordinators, beginning teachers, residency, permit to teach and emergency licensed teachers are not eligible.

You may use this form to nominate an eligible teacher.

A Message From Your PTA

Apex Fundraiser and PTA newsletter

We are thrilled to be starting our Apex Fundraiser on Monday. Your teachers will be sending you much more information—but in short, the students raise pledges to complete a series of dance moves at the Remix event on Thursday, March 7th. In the meantime, the Apex team will be at the school providing fun spirit events, as well as daily leadership lessons in the classroom. You can find out much more about the Apex fundraiser and the reasons why we’ve chosen to partner with this organization, as well as where the money goes, in the latest edition of our PTA newsletter.

New date for Spring Fling

Planning is underway for our spring community event. Please note we have changed the date of the event to the evening of Friday, May 3rd, so it can coincide with our book fair.

Community Resources

Our social worker, Mrs. Lawson-Bates, has put together a newsletter with community resources. Please click here to view.
