In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARP) was signed, making billions of dollars available to schools. Each of our campuses received close to one million dollars to use over four years. If you are interested in reviewing how EVCS used and plans to use this federal funding and/or sharing feedback on these plans, click here.

Elmwood Village Charter Schools is looking for a servant leader to join our shared leadership team and school community as Principal of our Days Park Campus. EVCS leaders bring dedication, passion and most importantly understand that relationships are at the center of everything we do. Specifically, we are looking for someone who is passionate about urban education, social-emotional learning, diversity, and encouraging a school culture where everyone is welcome and relationships are fostered. The Principal is the key culture leader and sets the tone for a positive and supportive school community.

April is School Library Month. We wanted to reintroduce our EVCS librarians and also share a few ways that you can celebrate this month!

The Hertel Community Association will be hosting a Chiavetta's Fundraising Event May 9, 2024, following dismissal at the Hertel Public Parking Lot.

Dinners are available for preorder here.

Dismissal:

Office pickup: Starting on 12/1/2023 we will NOT allow any dismissal from the main office after 2:30 P.M. If you attempt to retrieve a student you will be directed to enter the dismissal line.

Pickup: All children who are dismissed to a guardian must be picked up by 3:30 p.m. Our dismissal begins at 3:05 p.m.

School Dismissal Manager All families must use this tool daily. Not entering the proper dismissal directions causes severe risk for your child. Without proper dismissal directions, it causes the possibility that your child will be dismissed incorrectly.

Bus loop: Do not park in this area after 2:00 p.m. This is used for our entire dismissal process. When a car is parked in this area it causes major safety issues.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hello EVCS families,

Hope all is well. We would love to have our families support our school by volunteering to help during our lunch periods. This will include helping students open food containers, reminding students to clean their area, and allowing for an extra set of eyes to help students with any needs. Please view the information in the link and complete the form, if interested. We will follow-up with families after winter break.

Thank you,

Joseph Ciesielski, Principal
