8th Grade Field Trip
This year, we took our first ever 8th grade field trip to the Schaumburg Boomers game. It was a blast! Students and staff all agreed that we have to do it again next year! Below are some pictures from the game.

We have amazing staff and faculty at EVMS, let's recognize them. If you would like to recognize someone who is making a difference, please complete this form . Your entry will be shared directly with the teacher. Teachers also have the opportunity to fill out a Howl-A-Gram for students. These cards will be randomly drawn and shared over the morning announcements. We have amazing students and staff, let's start recognizing them!!

REMINDERS!
As a reminder, when students are dropped off at school via their parents or the school bus, they are expected to enter the school building. We have seen an increase in students walking to the plaza located just north of the school. This is not allowed. Students then are running back to school and paying little attention to cars and buses. We are patrolling this to ensure that our students are safe and entering the building as expected.
Additionally, the Village of Bartlett has started water main repairs near Bartlett Elementary School. This work will progressively move towards Eastview Middle School. Please be prepared for traffic to be rerouted and or additional delays due to this work.
SCHOOL REGISTRATION
Online registration for the 2024-25 school year is now open to all families who have a child or children in any grade from preschool through 12th grade.

School Safety Measures
As part of our commitment to ensuring a safe learning environment, Eastview Middle School will be conducting random, non-invasive searches throughout the rest of the school year, starting on March 1st, in accordance with board policy and law. These searches are a proactive step towards maintaining safety and fostering an environment where learning can thrive without disruptions. They will be carried out by trained school personnel, in a manner that respects the privacy of all students. We assure you that these measures are standard safety procedures and not in response to any specific incident or concern. If a student refuses to participate in the random search, then the next steps will be taken with administration and in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Should you have any questions, please contact the school's administration.
Chrome Books
We are continuing to see an increase in damage to Chrome Books. Some students are deliberately damaging their own Chrome Books by intentionally dropping them, punching them, pulling off the buttons, etc. Additionally, some students are deliberately damaging others Chrome Books. This can be considered a destruction of property and come with both school and monetary consequences. We are asking that all students be responsible and respectful to the district issued Chrome Books. When Chrome Books are damaged and need repair, we often DO NOT have loaners to distribute. This then prevents students from access to digital material needed for their classes. We thank you in advance to your attention in this matter.
Attendance Email
Starting Feb. 20, Eastview Middle School will send an automated email notification alerting you of any tardies or absences. Should your child be tardy to one or more classes, you will receive an email notification that day with the details, including the date and the number of missed classes. Similarly, if your child is absent and you have not called to excuse their absence, you will receive a phone call or an email by noon.
We believe that timely and transparent attendance communication is key to supporting our students’ educational journey. We encourage you to use this opportunity to discuss attendance habits with your child and to contact our school’s counselor, Rachel Giordano (Last Name A-K) or Brittany Smith (Last Name L-Z), at 630-213-5550 if you have any questions or concerns.
Please visit our Attendance Policy & Procedures for helpful attendance tips and additional information.
Thank you for your continued partnership in fostering a supportive and productive learning environment for our students.
Need time during the day to complete your work?
If you answered, yes, then you are in luck! We now have a study hall available during all lunch periods. If students are missing work, teachers can refer students to study hall during their lunch, and students can report to 102 to work on missing assignments and eat lunch. Take advantage of this opportunity!

Cell Phone Policy
CELL PHONES SHOULD BE AWAY FOR THE DAY!
All middle schools in the district will be following the district guidelines of "AWAY FOR THE DAY" for cell phone usage. Students will not be allowed to use their cell phones during the school day, including during lunch, in the locker room or bathrooms. These district-wide middle school guidelines support classroom learning and improved culture and climate efforts for all middle school students in order to minimize distractions and help teachers create and manage a classroom and school environment conducive to learning, discussion and collaboration. It also helps protect students against bullying and/or inappropriate social media use during school hours, which are often exacerbated by cell phone access.
In accordance with our secondary cell phone guidelines, students are expected to put their silenced or powered-off cell phone in their locker upon arriving at school. Our intention is to help students create better habits when in learning environments. If students are unable to keep devices out of sight and in their lockers, teachers may provide a warning and remind/ask their students to put the phone away in their lockers or cell phone holders until the end of the period. If students do not comply and continue to engage in electronic device misuse, progressive discipline procedures will be followed. This may include, but is not limited to, the following consequences: having the student turn over his/her phone to the main office for parent pick up, or issuance of referrals resulting in detentions and other discipline-related interventions.
Parents - If you need to get a hold of your student during the day, please call the main office at 630-213-5550 and we will either relay your message or bring your student to the main office for you to speak to them directly.
