EVE Weekly Director's Highlights

It's hard to believe but we have been in school for 100 days! A lot has happened since the first day of school. We've had a ball and we are working hard to keep the momentum going. Our teachers have been working hard to deliver high quality instruction and our students are showing great academic growth. Our theme for this school year is "Fostering a Spirit of Excellence" and that is what we have been doing. Check out some of our photos from the 100th day here and on our Instagram page @eastvilageK6.

Today our Student Council debuted the EVE STUCO Spirit Store. Students are able to purchase various items like key chains, fun ink pens, spirit shakers, and other items will be added. The prices range between $1-$3. The spirit spirit store will only be open on Friday mornings before school.

As you may know, the Downtown Junior High School had a massive leak caused by a non-weather related valve failure. As a temporary measure, starting Monday, January 27, eStem Downtown Junior High School will operate at the in open classrooms at the East Village Campus.

As a result, this will impact the morning drop-off and afternoon pick up lines. EVE students will continue to be dismissed using their dismissal numbers and we will work to move the traffic as quickly as possible. We do ask that if you have a junior high student as well as an elementary student, that you wait closer to the junior high dismissal time of 3:30 to prevent having to wait long in line or having to circle back around. The gates will continue to close by 4pm each day.

The restoration process has already begun, and we are working with our insurance adjusters to complete repairs as soon as possible. However, as we say at EVE, it takes a village and we are the village so we welcome DTJH and we appreciate your patience and support as we work to ensure all students are receiving daily instruction.

Students should attend school unless illness or an extenuating circumstance justifies an absence. Students are required to maintain prompt and regular attendance in accordance with school policy. Parents have the responsibility to monitor attendance and to familiarize themselves with policies pertaining to the educational program of the school. Parents can monitor student attendance through the Home Access Center (HAC).

If a student is unable to attend school, the parent/guardian must notify the school by email at the school attendance email by 7:45AM on the day of the absence. Email is the preferred method of notification. Do not email the Director, Teacher or other staff members. To ensure documentation is recorded correctly use the attendance email address listed above. Documentation needs to be emailed or turned into the office within 5 days of the student returning to school. Email: evelemattendance@estemschools.org

When a student has or exceeds 10 unexcused absences in a semester (can be a full days or combination of morning and afternoon absences) in a semester the District shall notify the prosecuting authority. The parent/guardian/person in loco parentis shall be subject to a civil penalty as prescribed by law.

Check-outs should be reserved for medical appointments or emergencies only. When students are checked out early, they are missing important instruction.

• A student may be checked out of school in the case of an emergency or for a medical appointment. Please provide documentation to the office for appointment.

• The student will be released from class when the parent/guardian arrives at the student’s school office.

• No check-outs after 2:00 p.m.

• Early check-out may not be used to avoid the carpool line.

• Early check-outs will be monitored and excessive use may result in parent conference with Administration.

• Early check-out also causes your student to miss very important instruction at the end of the day and can be counted towards tardies and absences.

If you have an address, email, or phone number change, please email those changes to our registrar, Mrs. Ginny Parker, at Ginny.Parker@estemschools.org. This helps us make sure our records are up to date and so we can provide you with pertinent information.

eStem East Village Elementary is a uniform school. It is expected that all students wear the prescribed uniform each school day. (Exception of paying $1 to dress out of dress code for cash for casual on Fridays only). Any student who is not in uniform is subject to the provisions of the “Dress Code” section of the eStem Dress Code Violation Policy in the student handbook. The dress code will be strictly enforced, and the Director of School has final authority on all matters relating to the other dress code. Repeated violations of the dress code will result in detention, loss of privileges, or suspension. If a student misses class due to a dress code violation, the student will be responsible for making up any missed work.
