English Village Family Edition

Dear EV Families,

Celebrating Our First Two Months

What a wonderful start to the school year! We’re proud of the learning, friendships, and growth our K–2 students have shared during these first two months. Thank you for partnering with us and helping make English Village such a welcoming community.

Welcome, November!

We’re excited to begin November together. As the days get cooler, we’ll keep learning, growing, and making special memories at school.

Please note that our school may practice safety drills (i.e-Fire Drills, Lockdown Drills, etc.) this upcoming week. This is done to ensure student safety in the case of an actual event and are required by law.

We are writing with an update on our SIT (School Improvement Team). Our District utilizes the 4DX framework from Franklin Covey (company that brings us Leader in Me) to help us organize and implement our School Improvement Plan (SIP). 4DX stands for the 4 Dimensions of Execution.

This year we are focusing on Dimensions 3 and 4. These two Dimensions support us in holding ourselves accountable in tracking our progress towards achieving our SIP goals. Please consider researching 4DX to learn more....

Dimension 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard. Make progress visible with a simple chart that shows whether you're winning. People play differently when they can see the score.

Dimension 4: Create a Cadence of Accountability. Hold a short weekly meeting, usually 20–30 minutes. Each person reports on last week's commitments, reviews the scoreboard, and commits to one or two specific actions for the coming week.

This week we hosted our first Beary Good Kid Assembly. Our EV Cub Council students hosted the assembly, we sang the Leader in Me song and students received awards. Congrats to our students who exhibit this habit to take initiative, make good choices, and take responsibility for our actions.

Coming home this week is a take home activity about academic discourse. Please work on with your child and return to school with a prize. Thank you for helping the Community Schools Team complete their goals.

Reading logs will be sent home at the beginning of each month. Students are encouraged to read at home and keep track of their reading on their log. Once the log is completed, return it to school to earn a special prize! Keep reading, Bears—every book counts!

This week we had our first EV Bear in the Chair Celebration. To promote being at school and on time we called a random number this morning. This number aligned with students classroom number and if they were present at school they recieved a pizza themed prize. Great job little bears for being in their chair at school, on time today! Every day at EV is a slice of success!

Let Us Introduce Ourselves!

Meet your English Village Community Schools Team!

Each week, through Paws & Connect, we'll share a little more about how the Community Schools Strategy supports our students, families, and school community.

We are BEARY proud to be a Community School! Together, we're building stronger connections and bridging the gap between school, home, and community—one paw at a time!
