Message from Principal Jackson 
​Dear Panther Parents,
 
Next week is our GREAT KINDNESS CHALLENGE WEEK.  Tuesday-Friday are dress up days: Tuesday=Evans Spirit Wear, Wednesday=Partner Hero (twins day), Thursday=Be a Hero and wear your favorite hero shirt, and Friday=wear your “BE KIND” shirt.  During this week, each teacher will be giving students opportunities to share kindness around the campus.  It is amazing!!
 
Our annual PTO Parent Enrichment Night is Tuesday at 6:00 via ZOOM.  Mrs. DeLisle is presenting a workshop on How to Raise a Resilient Teen and How to Cope with Teen Anxiety.  Just click on the link posted on the right Tuesday at 6pm to join us for this “unique to Evans” opportunity.
 
Friendly Reminders:
  • Please pay your child’s laptop fee if you have not done so yet.  These are WAY past due.  Restrictions have been placed on all unpaid laptops and it is affecting instructional access to some materials that teachers are needing students to utilize. 
  • Morning drop-off: please keep in mind that we do not allow students into the building until 8:15.  On days below 40 degrees, we allow students into the vestibule around 8:00 but not before then. 
  • IPR grade check is Monday.  Grades will post on Tuesday.  Please encourage your child to take advantage of tutorials provided by each teacher.  If your child has had multiple absences this quarter and you are concerned about making up the necessary classwork, please contact your child’s teacher to work on a plan of action for completing the needed assignments. 
 
8th Grade Parents: High school course request cards are due next week.  See the “Counselor Corner” portion of our newsletter for more course registration information.
 
Speaking of registering for courses next year, please keep in mind that electives can sometimes change from year-to-year.  For the upcoming year, drill team will no longer be available, so if your child is wanting to participate in a performance based elective, cheerleading might be something to consider.  Try-outs for cheer are quickly approaching, so please see Coach Gilbert for more details as there is a registration process to complete before students are able to participate in try-outs. 
 
Happy Friday,
Darla
