Dear Parents and Guardians,

We had another great week at EVCS. Thank you, PreK and K teachers and families for participating in the Early Childhood Literacy Workshop! The turn out was terrific. Next week is short, with no school on Friday.

The flu is definitely going around – so we ask everyone to go over some simple steps with your kids Simple Steps to Keep Children Healthy… and remind them that healthy habits and washing hands are important preventative steps.

Let’s take a look at next week and see what is coming up after the break:

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It’s the end of another great week at EVCS!

We had two reports of Lice this week. We encourage folks to let teachers know if you have an encounter so we may remind everyone to be vigilant when it comes to lice. If you notice your child scratching their head more than usual, this could be a sign. Click here to read more about what to do and how to deter the critters.

There is more fun coming up next week including a Parent Workshop, back by popular demand: Meet Eric, our new PE instructor next Tuesday (January 23) following drop-off and learn how to “Keep Kids Active”. Details below!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I’m so excited for the many parent workshops coming up, a book discussion with Bradley, a family fun math night, and more movie nights at EVCS! Welcome to 2018!

Our cookbook committee is rallying all of you to share a favorite recipe with us for the EVCS cookbook! The goal is to have the book ready for the Multicultural Potluck Share – but we need your recipes!

Also, there is a stomach-bug going around school. If your child has any symptoms, please keep them home until you are certain they are no longer contagious. A Guide for Parents about the Flu.

Let’s check out what we have to look forward to!
