Dan Powell's Weekly Newsletter
Week of August 10th - August 14th
Hello, Dan Powell Families! We enjoyed visiting with you during our Open House event! We appreciate each of you for your continuous support of all the great things happening at Dan Powell Early Learning Academy!
Thank you for ensuring your child is at school everyday and on time! Instruction begins at 7:30 am sharp and every scholar should be in their classroom, ready to learn. In order to minimize disruptions to learning, we ask that early dismissals be completed prior to 2 pm.
Remember that student and staff safety are our top priority. Please contribute to keeping our students and staff safe by remaining in your vehicles during arrival drop off and dismissal pickup. There are no walk ups during arrival drop off and dismissal pick up. We appreciate your continued partnership in all of our endeavors and wish you a wonderful week! Let's go, Bulldogs! 💜 #BulldogPride #GameonBulldogs #EvermanISD #EvermanBulldogs

Water Donations Needed
Our staff works extremely hard during the sweltering heat to ensure each scholar is loaded safely into their vehicles. Please consider showing a small token of appreciation by donating bottled water to our campus. Your donation will contribute to the hydration, well-being, and safety of our staff and can be received at the front office. We appreciate your consideration with this endeavor!
Please make sure you are at your child’s designated bus stop by 2:55 PM to ensure you are there on time.
For the safety of our students, a parent/guardian or older sibling MUST be present at the bus stop when your child is dropped off.
⚠️ If no approved adult or older sibling is present, the student will be returned to campus.
It is extremely important that you make provisions for an adult to meet your student every day at the bus stop. Please be aware of the steps that will be taken in the event this policy is not followed:
1st Incident – Warning from Campus Administrator
2nd Incident – Loss of Bus Privileges for one week
3rd Incident – Loss of Bus Privileges for six weeks
4th Incident - Loss of Bus Privileges for the remainder of the school year
Persistent noncompliance with this policy will result in loss of bus privileges for the remainder of the year. Please inform the school if you know you will not be able to greet your student at the bus stop so that student can remain on campus for you to pick him/her up. Doing so will foster safety for your student and allow the bus route to remain on schedule for routes to other campuses.
📱 MyRide K-12: Parents who have registered for MyRide K-12 will receive their student’s routing information as soon as the routes are completed and uploaded.
