EVE Weekly Director's Highlights

November 5th was a very big day for EVE. It was Election Day for our very first student council. Our students had a chance to participate in the voting process and receive an "I Voted!" sticker. Congratulations to all of our new student council members and a huge thank you to the staff members that helped make this happen for our school. We can't wait to see what they have in store for EVE!

We understand that where your child attends school is a big decision, and we appreciate your support of eStem. As current eStem families, we believe that YOU are the best advocates for our schools, and we would love for you to share your experiences with friends and families that may be interested in sending their children to eStem too!

Students should attend school unless illness or an extenuating circumstance justifies an absence. Students are required to maintain prompt and regular attendance in accordance with school policy. Parents have the responsibility to monitor attendance and to familiarize themselves with policies pertaining to the educational program of the school. Parents can monitor student attendance through the Home Access Center (HAC).

If a student is unable to attend school, the parent/guardian must notify the school by email at the school attendance email by 7:45AM on the day of the absence. Email is the preferred method of notification. Do not email the Director, Teacher or other staff members. To ensure documentation is recorded correctly use the attendance email address listed above. Documentation needs to be emailed or turned into the office within 5 days of the student returning to school. Email: evelemattendance@estemschools.org

When a student has or exceeds 10 unexcused absences in a semester (can be a full days or combination of morning and afternoon absences) in a semester the District shall notify the prosecuting authority. The parent/guardian/person in loco parentis shall be subject to a civil penalty as prescribed by law.

Check-outs should be reserved for medical appointments or emergencies only. When students are checked out early, they are missing important instruction.

• A student may be checked out of school in the case of an emergency or for a medical appointment. Please provide documentation to the office for appointment.

• The student will be released from class when the parent/guardian arrives at the student’s school office.

• No check-outs after 2:00 p.m.

• Early check-out may not be used to avoid the carpool line.

• Early check-outs will be monitored and excessive use may result in parent conference with Administration.

• Early check-out also causes your student to miss very important instruction at the end of the day and can be counted towards tardies and absences.

If you have an address, email, or phone number change, please email those changes to our registrar, Mrs. Ginny Parker, at Ginny.Parker@estemschools.org. This helps us make sure our records are up to date and so we can provide you with pertinent information.

eStem East Village Elementary is a uniform school. It is expected that all students wear the prescribed uniform each school day. (Exception of paying $1 to dress out of dress code for cash for casual on Fridays only). Any student who is not in uniform is subject to the provisions of the “Dress Code” section of the eStem Dress Code Violation Policy in the student handbook. The dress code will be strictly enforced, and the Director of School has final authority on all matters relating to the other dress code. Repeated violations of the dress code will result in detention, loss of privileges, or suspension. If a student misses class due to a dress code violation, the student will be responsible for making up any missed work.
