“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.”

We put students first. We act with urgency. We seek to be better. We work as a team.

Still tickets remaining! Don't miss out on the fun! 😀

Dear EVCS Hertel Families,

In order to increase safety and security at our Hertel campus, EVCS has secured a grant to install additional light poles to illuminate our parking lot. This work will be done over a two day period – on Monday, October 9th (Indigenous Peoples’ Day, no school) and Tuesday October 10th. You should still be able to drop off and pick up with the same traffic pattern, but there may be machinery in the usual pick up/drop off lane, so please watch out for any signage or directions from EVCS staff.

Thanks for your patience!

Looking for a good book? Have one you want to donate?

Did you know that Hertel has a Little Library? It is in the loop by the picnic tables. Pick up a new book or drop off one you are ready to pass on to a rising new reader!

Dismissal

• It is important to update dismissal plans in the School Dismissal Manager (SDM) system. Students will be dismissed according to what is listed in SDM - any changes to dismissal should be entered prior to 2 pm.
• Due to the high volume of dismissal traffic, refrain from arriving between 2:30-3 PM. Join the 3 PM carline unless it is unavoidable.
• For assistance with School Dismissal Manager (SDM), contact your campus transportation coordinator, we are happy to help you learn to use the system. You can also watch this video for some instructions on using SDM: https://bit.ly/HowtoSDM

We are not accepting Door Dash or other food delivery services for students. These items will not be accepted at the Main Office. Please do not send food deliveries to the school.

October Menu

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.
