EVE Weekly Director's Highlights

As we approach the end of the school year, we are excited to celebrate all the hard work and growth our students have achieved. However, we are also seeing an increase in behaviors that require your support and attention at home.

We kindly ask that you take a few minutes to speak with your child about the importance of staying focused and making safe, respectful choices during the school day. Specifically, we’ve noticed:

Horseplay and Unsafe Behavior: There has been a rise in students engaging in rough play, which has led to avoidable injuries. Please remind your child to keep their hands and feet to themselves and to play safely at all times.

Cellphone Use: Students should not be using cellphones during school hours. Phones should remain turned off and stored away during the day. If they are caught with them, we will confiscate the phone and a parent will have to come to the office to get it. Repeated offenses will result in suspension.

Toys at School: As excitement builds toward summer break, more students are bringing toys to school, which can become distractions or cause conflict. We ask that all toys be left at home for the remainder of the school year. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Recently, we've noticed an increase in students wearing headscarves, durags, skull caps, and hoods during the school day. While we understand that students may wear these items for various reasons, they are not permitted inside the building as outlined in eStem’s dress code policy.

This policy is in place as a safety measure and to help maintain a focused learning environment. Students who wear these items will be asked to remove them. If they choose not to comply, in-school suspension may be assigned.

We kindly encourage families to address hair care routines at home so students arrive prepared and confident for a day of learning. Our focus is on academic excellence, and we want our students to present themselves in a way that reflects readiness and pride in their education.

We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment through the final weeks of school. With your continued support, we can ensure a strong and positive finish to the year for all of our students.

Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Dear East Village Elementary Families,

We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished this year—and we’re excited to keep the momentum going! As we look ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, we invite you to re-enroll your child and continue the journey with us.

Your partnership means the world to us, and we look forward to another amazing year of growth, learning, and community at East Village Elementary.

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.
