I hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday break. It has been a great time to slow down, rest and get ready for the next part of the school year. Prior to vacation, staff and students participated in a Festive Attire Day at school. They enjoyed a movie and hot cocoa for meeting the most recent behavior expectations as a school. Thank you to the PTA and Jakes for providing hot cocoa and volunteers to support this celebration.

Upon returning to school on January 6, I would like to remind everyone that students should be coming to school with boots, snow pants, coats, hats and mittens or gloves. Each day students will be going outside for recess as long as the temperature is 10 degrees or above. Please make sure students are able to dress for the weather.

January 20 - No School - Martin Luther King Jr Day

January 24 - End of Quarter 2 (Pending no further snow days)

January 27 - February 7 - NWEA testing Grades 1-4

At EVS, we have a student support center (SSC) where students can go when they earn a break, but it is also a place for them to go if they break a school rule and need some time to process what happened. Students meet with an adult to talk about the rule that was broken and how they will "make it right!" This can look like an apology to a student or staff member face to face, it could be a written apology, and could also be some missed recess or classroom time.

Students that need to spend time in the SSC will complete a reflection sheet about the incident. Once completed, they bring this sheet to their classroom teacher for a signature and then it will be sent home. Please have a conversation with your student about what happened and how they made it right, sign the form and send it back to school the next day.

We are working hard to ensure that our students know we are all on the same team to support them. It can be really helpful for students to know that school is sharing these things with home and that we have similar expectations about what should and should not be happening at school.

Please reach out any time with questions!
