Easley Weekly Update

We made it to the end of the quarter! I hope everyone has a wonderful fall break!

Safety and Security

Last week our Superintendent, Dr. Lewis, shared our district’s stance on vigilance in the wake of local, state, and national threats against our schools. As your principal, I want you to know how very serious we are about keeping our students safe. We know that threatening situations may be unsettling for our students. Our school counselors are also available to support any student who may be feeling anxious or need to express their thoughts or concerns. When you come to the school and ring the bell, please be sure to stand in front of the camera so Ms. Middleton is able to get a clear visual of your face. If she doesn't recognize the person she asks how she can help you and may ask to see identification. Please know this is in place to keep our students and staff safe. Please also be mindful not to hold the door for someone else; I know this feels a bit rude and is not the typical norm of engagement but we need to be the ones granting access to the building. Please know that we will continue to utilize our safety protocols and precautions. The safety and well being or our students and staff is my number one priority. Thank you for your continued support and entrusting us with your little children each day.

Morning Carline

Speaking of safety, we have some concerns regarding morning drop off. Please take a moment and review the carline procedures.

A few reminders:

• Students should exit on the passenger side only, along the curb
• Please do not pull out of line until the person in front of you has moved.

• Student should not be dropped of in the parking lot.
• There is no one to supervise students prior to 7:15 a.m. and the doors do not open until that time. Students dropped off prior to 7:15 a.m. (except for safety patrol) are not let in the building. This is a safety concern.

Finally, please be patient. We have 485 students arriving in a thirty minute period. We've worked to streamline the drop off procedures and it generally runs pretty well. Please follow the procedures and don't risk the safety of an Easley student or staff member to save a minute or two.

Early Release Day: Tuesday, September 17

Tuesday is an early release day and students will be dismissed two hours early. Students return to school on Monday, October 7th.
