If they test positive, please email [email protected] and your child’s teacher(s). And if your child will not be in school next Thursday and Friday, please let your child’s teacher know so that we can send home the testing kits early.

Dear EVCS Parents and Guardians,
Good work families, you are doing an amazing job navigating the flow of information, COVID protocols and updates. We truly appreciate your effort to get your kids to school every day on time and being here to meet them at dismissal! Thank you.
We want everyone to be set up with a NYC Schools Account. Roughly 72% of our families have one. If you don’t already have an account, check your child’s backpack for their letter to set one up!
It was great to see parents on the PA call this week! A shout out to Ebony for stepping up as a VP, and to Annie as the Fundraising Chair to help kick us into gear this year! Thank you both. It takes positive energy, a continuous flow of ideas and motivation to keep our PA lively! And our PA has an open seat for a secretary! If anyone can help out, we really need you, please contact [email protected] to get more information.
And another shout out to our Parent Association for purchasing masks for everyone! Two K94 masks for each student went home this week in backpacks with a note. Please let us know if you did not receive them.
Let’s take a look at next week.

Dear EVCS Parents and Guardians,
Thanks to everyone who made it out this week to the Town Hall to continue our community discussion about the potential merger with PS 19. Overall there was a positive vibe.
EVCS made the news in Germany last night! Alexandra was excited to share this report that included a segment about our community including “Schuldirektor” Bradley Goodman and Pastor Will at Trinity Church! The segment is in German and you can watch it here. Thanks to EVCS parent, Alexandra Reese, Neo’s mom in Kindergarten, for including us.
The Parent Association will have their monthly meeting next week: “We need volunteers in all capacities and at all commitment levels; Committee chairs and team members, Executive Board positions, event organizers and volunteers”, AND your great ideas! There is an SLT spot open and we need a few committee chairs including fundraising! Who would like to take the lead? Let us know if you are interested! See you there!

Dear EVCS Parents and Guardians,
It has been a busy week at EVCS. Thanks to everyone for supporting the EVCS Winter Coat Drive! We collected over 40 coats and many families successfully shopped the rack! Way to go EVCS!
Reminders:
• Remember to be sure your child has a water bottle at school. We encourage everyone to drink plenty of water daily.
• Write your child’s name and EVCS on everything! This makes it much easier to connect items to their rightful owners! A Sharpie works great!
Our Parent Association has a few important executive and committee chairperson roles to fill including a School Leadership Team (SLT) seat. Please share your expertise with us and get involved! The PA will reach out with updates and a mid-year election!
