Dear EVCS Families,

Thanks to all of you, we had another productive week at EVCS.
We can feel the energy building with the seasonal shift and hope everyone is feeling good these days, we know everyone is working hard & doing their best!

A big thanks again to our Parent Association for supporting the purchase of additional technology to be used at school. We have been able to successfully set up nearly 100 families with our own school devices this year and cannot thank everyone enough for this amazing support. We feel extremely fortunate. The next general PA meeting is March 17th, we hope you will try to join! Elections will be coming up soon, please consider running for an official position with the EVCS Parent Association, come to a meeting and learn more about what we do, we need your support! PA meetings are the one place right now where we can strengthen our school community and share ideas and brainstorm. Hope to see you soon.
