Good evening, Easley families!
School Closed on Monday Due to Weather
School is closed tomorrow and it is NOT a remote learning day.
Author Visit
Our visit with authors Brian “Smitty” Smith and Chris Giarrusso for grades 1st-4th has been rescheduled to Wednesday, February 11th. Any pre-ordered books will now be delivered on that date, and the deadline for ordering is now Feb 10th.
If you would like to pre-order a book for the event, please visit https://flyleafbooks.com/list/ees-smith-2026. There is a 10% discount, shipping is free, AND the books will be signed and personalized. You can also order the books from any bookseller to get them earlier. The PTA has generously also bought two copies for each classroom. Please contact caroline_hartley@dpsnc.net with any questions. Thank you for supporting these local authors!
Black History Month Read-In
We will be hosting a Black History Month read-in, similar to what we did for Hispanic Heritage Month in October. The week will be Feb 17th-20th. We look forward to celebrating this month with guest readers and wonderful literature!. You can either bring a book of your own or select from the robust selection in the media center. Check out this collection to preview our titles. We are allotting 20 minutes for a read-aloud. Once you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email from Ms. Hartley with more information. Thank you for considering this wonderful opportunity.
Here is how to sign up:
Look HERE for classroom teachers' open times. Then contact caroline_hartley@dpsnc.net (or message on Rooms) with your preferred teacher, date, and time. As teachers are matched with a reader, their names will have a strikethrough. If you have any questions, contact caroline_hartley@dpsnc.net.
Middle School Information Night
Easley is hosting a middle school information session for our fourth and fifth-grade parents. You are invited to join us on Tuesday, February 17th, at 6:00 pm in the Easley media center. Come hear from current and former Easley parents with students currently in middle school. They will share information about the transition to middle school, highlight bright spots, and share challenges. There will also be time for you to ask questions.
