EVE Weekly Director's Highlights

This week our students K-6 took their end of the year iReady assessments in reading and math. These assessments show how much academic growth that our students have gained over the course of the year. This test aligns with the current curriculum that we use. While this is not a state assessment, the iReady diagnostic measures the students skills in reading and math to provide insights that will guide personalized interventions and instruction.

We are extremely excited to celebrate the hard work that our teachers and students have put in this school year. The amount of students that made growth was astronomical. Keep working hard boys and girls! The BIG state assessment is around the corner. Please refer to the testing calendar below. Encourage your students to do their very best. Parents and guardians we need your help too! Please ensure your students are at school by 7:45 and they have breakfast. They need a good night's rest. We want them to do their very best. These assessments will also determine some of the courses our 6th grade students will be able to take in the 7th grade next year. We're almost finished, but we have to keep pushing through until the end.

April is designated as the Month of the Military Child to recognize and celebrate the unique experiences and sacrifices of military children and youth, and the Department of Defense encourages communities to acknowledge their resilience and contributions. This Friday, April 11th we will be wearing purple to show our support and honor our military families.

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.
