“The Elmwood Village Charter Schools will provide a stimulating and engaging learning environment that recognizes student capability, fosters their connectedness to their immediate and broader communities, and offers them ways to contribute to school life. EVCS believes that all students can and will learn at high levels when provided with the right learning conditions.”

* Please remember to update SDM with any dismissal changes, especially on half days.

* If your child is participating in a sport or after school activity, it is important to update SDM listing which activity they are participating in AND their dismissal plan after the activity/club has finished. This will allow dismissal to run more smoothly for our teachers who run bus duty.

* If you need help or have questions, reach out to

One of the ways EVCS maintains a sense of community and connectedness is through active social media channels, parent communications, and website updates. Please click on the link below only if you DO NOT want EVCS to use images/recordings of your child. Even if you think you have communicated this to us previously, you should still complete this form to assure that your child's name is included on our "do not photo" list of students. Please complete a form for each child that attends EVCS.

PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS:

Are your child’s vaccines up to date? NYS mandates certain vaccines are required for school. Make an appointment as soon as possible with your child’s doctor to make sure your child has all necessary vaccinations.

If vaccinations are not updated by September 21, 2023, students will not be allowed to attend school in accordance with NYS Public Health Law 2164.

Your child’s doctor can answer questions about your child’s vaccine status.

Can’t get an appointment? Call the Erie County Immunization Clinic at (716) 858-7687.

You can also get one at any Well Now or Immediate Care locations near you. Walk-ins and appointments are available.
