Trimester 2 report cards will be distributed by the end of this week.

Students will be sent home with paper copies and digital ones will be sent via email.

Each year prior to conducting our admissions lottery, we ask families to re-enroll their children or notify us if they are considering withdrawing. In an effort to simplify this practice, we no longer require parents/guardians to complete a re-enrollment packet.

PLEASE COMPLETE THIS INTENT TO RE-ENROLL agreement to convey your intentions for the 2025/26 school year. This information is important to our admissions team, to ascertain how many open seats we will fill in our up-coming lottery this April.

April 3 is a chance for Kindergarteners who missed Cap & Gown Picture Day to have a make up photo taken and for 8th graders who need to make up their photos for their diplomas.

Students can also participate in Spring Picture Day on April 3. These photos will not be used in the yearbook, but can be purchased using the following order codes for the proper campus:

• Days Park Spring Picture Order Code: 93467Y
• Hertel Spring Picture Order Code: 93469K

Applications are open for BOTH EVCS Campuses for the 2025-2026 school year!

Know someone looking to join our vibrant community?

Let them know and share our application to apply now.

Are you looking to have a kindergartener join their older sibling next year?

Make sure to select a sibling preference when you apply!

Battle of the Bands returns to Days Park this week!
