Presidents' Day and Mid-Winter Break is next week, school is closed February 17 through February 21. We will welcome students back February 24.

The annual Fowler's Chocolate sale makes a return to EVCS!

Browse the catalog including new items and place your orders by March 9.

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.

In March you will receive an “Intent to Re-Enroll” agreement, where you will 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.

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!
