Important Dates in November
Fall Picture Retakes
Picture retakes will be on November 14th. Students must return their previous picture package for retakes. Also, any student who was absent or newly enrolled at Everton may get their picture taken.
Grandparents Days
Grandparents are invited to have lunch with their grandchild/grandchildren on November 21st and 22nd, depending on grade level. This is such a well attended event that we need to have two separate days! Detailed information for Grandparents Day is being sent in students' Friday Folders.
New State Attendance Requirements
Please read through the flier that points out the new Indiana attendance requirements.
ILEARN Checkpoint Assessments
The Indiana Department of Education is piloting a new system of testing with ILEARN. The elementary schools in the Fayette County School Corporation are participating in the pilot. This is for students in grades 3-6. Students will be given a short math and ELA test three times on specific essential standards before taking the summative ILEARN. This will provide teachers, students, and parents information on standards students are mastering and standards that may require additional support prior to taking the summative ILEARN. Below is more information on the ILEARN Checkpoints.
