Parents, ALWAYS USE THE FRONT LOOP when dropping off/ picking up your child. Drop off/pick up is NOT allowed in employee/student parking lot due to safety concerns.  

If you double up in the front loop while you wait, please merge carefully into one line to exit. Make NO left turns out of the front car loop. Left turns create backups and present a safety concern. A sign is posted, please comply.  

NO students may enter the cafeteria until 7:30 AM. We have no supervision in that area until then. 

DO NOT drop off or pick up your child along Millwood Avenue.  It is not safe to cross Millwood Avenue, except at the marked intersection. 

Information on how to register your child for bus transportation:

My Ride - District Transportation

• Please note that Possession of Over-the-Counter or Prescription Medications is a Level 2 Disciplinary Offense.

  Note: If your child requires any medication, including an over-the-counter (nonprescription) medication, while at school - even on a temporary basis - you must obtain the proper permission form for the use of medication at school.  The permission forms can be downloaded below. 

Annual Returning Student Enrollment- The Window is Open Now!

All current students who intend to return to Dreher for the 2025-2026 school year must be reenrolled.  Emails from the Dreher Registrar’s Office to the parent/guardian of all currently enrolled students were sent on May 7, 2025.  The parent/guardian of more than one current student who will be returning to Dreher next year has received a separate message for each child.

These emails contain vitally important information about the reenrollment process:

-a SNAP code that is unique to each child, and

-a link to the special online PowerSchool Enrollment page.

***The online returning enrollment process is NOT COMPLETE until you upload TWO acceptable Proofs of Current Residence (POR). DO NOT SUBMIT your reenrollment package until you have uploaded TWO acceptable Proofs of Residence.  Doing so will delay both your child’s enrollment and the creation of next year’s class schedule.***

The District Registrar’s Office has defined acceptable proofs of residence:

“You are required to provide two (2) documents to verify residency. Proof of residency must be in the parent/legal guardian's name and must be dated within thirty (30) days of the date it is submitted to the school. Poor quality pictures and incomplete documents cannot be accepted.

Below are acceptable address verification documents:

Proof of Residency #1: all the pages to your current, unexpired lease, rental agreement, or mortgage statement, deed, property tax bill

Proof of Residency #2: Utility or residential service bill, examples include: electric, gas, water/sewage, landline phone, cable/satellite/internet

If your family is living with another family, you must complete a Shared Housing Affidavit packet. The packet and information regarding the Shared Housing process can be found on the Richland One website at /Page/6288. This packet must be completed every school year that your family continues to reside at your current residence or if you move into another family's home.”

If you encounter any difficulties, please contact

Dreher’s Registrar, Quenna Smith (quenna.smith@richlandone.org) or

Records Clerk, Hannah Markowitz (hannah.markowitz@richlandone.org)

At the start of the school year each student was issued a laptop, a charger, a school ID with lanyard and sleeve to hold the ID.  If items go missing, arrange for replacements with the Media Center.  

Replacement Costs:

Computer chargers:  currently $35, but cost will vary depending upon Media Center's replacement costs.

February 27, 2026

Hello, Blue Devil Families!  This week at 3319 Millwood, we held a blood drive, celebrated Black History Month with a spirit week and trivia questions, and held incredible student-organized assembly.  BIG thank you to students Bailey Williams and Maya Mack and to Ms. Asouzu for organizing our panel of community leaders.  Our students were completely engaged!  And thank you all for keeping our students present, involved, and engaged.  Here are a few things to share for this week and beyond:

• Congratulation to Mrs. Mascarella-Estevez—our Dreher February Teacher of the Month!  Muy bien! 
• Congratulations to Ms. Pennyway and the 37 Theatre Students who competed and earned numerous awards from this past weekend at Palmetto Dramatics Association / SC International Thespian Society Joint Festival, including a Superior with Distinction for Overall Production for the one act play Stop Kiss.  Well done!

• Parent Conferences, March 12, 1:00 – 4:00 pm: March 12 is an Early Release Day for students followed by parent conferences in the afternoon.
• The SAT is approaching in March for juniors and seniors who registered for the SAT earlier this year.  This year’s SAT is an online test that requires two days:  students will complete online setup on March 11, and they will take the actual test on March 18.  Students will receive their testing room assignments via a note from Mr. Kirkley; signs will also be posted in the halls.  Here are a few reminders regarding testing:
  • Students must be on time on both March 11 and March 18.  Testing will begin at 8:00 a.m., and students will not be permitted to enter late.  Students should report directly to their testing rooms at the start of the school day.  There is no make-up testing, so it is important to be present and on time.
  • Students must bring their school laptops fully charged in order to test.  
  • Testing will likely last from 8:00 a.m. until sometime between 11:00 and 12:00.  Students should be prepared to remain in the testing room for the duration of testing and will be dismissed to lunch at the conclusion of testing.  There will be a break between test sections during which students may visit the restroom.  
  • Students can download an SAT student guide at the following website.  It contains test information and practice problems: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/sat-school-day-student-guide.pdf  Please contact Kevin Kirkley, test coordinator, with questions at kevin.kirkley@richlandone.org.

Dear Dreher Family,

With a heavy heart, I share this message. This morning, our Teacher and Coach Christopher Allen passed away. As we respect the family’s wishes, we have no further details to share regarding his passing. Along with our school counselors, we have additional district personnel on campus to support our students and staff in this time of loss. And we will continue to have additional support throughout tomorrow and beyond. Coach Allen is a much beloved member of our Dreher Family, and he will be dearly missed.

In sadness and grief,

Dr. Lawrence J. Eberlin, Jr.

Principal
