School Dismissal Manager (SDM) is an important tool for all EVCS families, as it is how you inform the school about dismissal plans, absences, late arrivals, and more.

In order to ensure a smooth start to the school year, it is imperative that dismissal plans are entered into School Dismissal Manager.

Download the app onto your phone:

• School Dismissal Manager for Apple
• School Dismissal Manger for Android

Visit www.schooldismissalmanager.com for more information.

Please contact Estefany Hall (Days Park) at ehall@elmwoodvillageschool.org or NaShomi Shaffer (Hertel) at nshaffer@elmwoodvillageschool.org.

PLEASE NOTE: EVCS has moved to a new mass messaging system.

This means that the text notifications and emails you receive from the school will look different than the ones you are used to seeing.

Action is required to make sure you still receive text updates from the school. Text the letter "Y" to the number "67587" to make sure you will continue to receive text alerts from EVCS.

For additional information, please review our SchoolMessenger flyer.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARP) was signed, making billions of dollars available to schools. Each of our campuses received close to one million dollars to use over four years. If you are interested in reviewing how EVCS used this federal funding and/or sharing feedback on these plans, click here.
