Mr. Daniel

Dear John V. Evans Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! September brings a unique wave of energy to our halls—fresh notebooks, new friendships, and the quiet excitement of new beginnings. Whether you are returning to our community or joining us for the first time, we are happy to partner with you.

Our dedicated teachers and staff have spent the last few weeks preparing classrooms to be safe, inspiring spaces where every child can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. As we kick off this year, our primary focus remains on building strong foundational skills, encouraging curiosity, and fostering a school culture rooted in kindness and respect.

September Reminders & Next Steps

  • Student drop-off in the morning begins at 7:40 a.m. Please drive slowly through the drop-off zones and follow our staff guide signals to keep our students safe.

  • When coming into the building to visit with staff or your child you will need to be sure that you check in at the front office and bring your identification.

  • If you would like to volunteer in the classroom, please check with your child’s teacher beforehand to see if help is needed.

Thank you for trusting us with your children every day. Together, we are going to make this a wonderful year of learning.

Warmly,

Robert Daniel

Principal of John V. Evans Elementary

Friday school days.

Early release at 12:30 pm on these Fridays and buses will run. ** No Kindergarten on theses days!

Moment of Silence Moment of Silence

As outlined in Idaho Code § 33-1639, all Cassia County Schools will be adding a moment of silence into their schedules at the start of each school day this year. During this moment, students are welcome to use their time to participate in whichever silent practice they choose, as long as it does not distract others, such as a time to reflect, meditate, pray, or think quietly. To assist us in implementing this moment of silence each day, we are asking all parents and guardians to please visit with your children about this time, its purpose, and to offer them guidance on how to best use their moment to set them up for success during their school day. We appreciate your support and willingness to help us make this a positive experience for all.

Raptor System Raptor System

For safety reasons everyone who enters the school beyond the office window will need to present their drivers license / ID. We have to scan it into the raptor system before allowing you entrance to the school. We will only need to scan your ID one time. The next time you come in we will be able to look you up manually. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

End of the Day Procedures End of the Day Procedures

End of Day Messages

If you need to get a message to your child regarding how they are to get home please call before 3pm. If you call after 3pm we cannot guarantee the message will be received by your child. The end of the day is a busy time for the office. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Pick up and Drop off

Pick up and drop off is on the South side of the building. Please do not enter the employee parking lot to drop off your students. The line can get long, however it moves quickly.

Picking up your student before the bell rings

If you come in to pick up your student up after 3:20 pm you will need to wait for the bell to ring before they are released. You strongly recommend you make arrangements with your student before 3pm to let them know your pick up plans.
