Parent Updates
We are so excited to kick off the new school year together! It all starts this week. Important parent reminders are below.
- Evergreen Mill Elementary School Hours are 8:00 AM - 2:45 PM each day. During this time teachers and administrators are engaged with students and parent access to teachers is extremely limited. If you have an emergency please call the front office.
- We welcome all parents/guardians to join us at Back To School Night on Tuesday, August 22 at 6:30 PM. Please make every effort to attend this important event as teachers will provide an overview of their grade level curricululm, expectations, and will establish structures for ongoing communication with parents throughout the school year. Fifth grade parents will also learn about how we are departmentalizing our instruction this year.
- Kindergarten orientation and our Open House for Preschool students will be held at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, August 23.
- Open House for all students in grades 1-5 will be held from 10:00 - 11:30 AM on August 23rd.
- Classes for all students begin at 8:00 AM on Thursday, August 24th.
- Don't forget to keep checking our school webpage for updates throughout the school year. Find us at lcps.org/evergreen.
- Join our private Facebook Page by searching "Evergreen Mill Pythons".
PARENTS - YOU HAVE HOMEWORK!
- Transportation Form (We want everyone to get home safely on the first day and always!)
- Car rider Tag Request (If you are going to use our Kiss and Go drop off/pick up service at all this year you need one of these!)
- Review the Parent/Student Handbook with your child.
- Verify your ParentVUE account and acknowledge the LCPS Code of Conduct. This is also the place where you can indicate your preferences for photos/videos of your child, Family Life Education, and exercise your parental control in numerous other ways.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF SCHOOL
- Longer than usual waits at Kiss and Go. It takes us a couple of days to truly get into a rhythm with this. You can help us by allowing your child to ride the bus on the first day of school if they have been routed to do so.
- Tears (mostly from parents and sometimes from little ones). Know that we've got this! We are experts at transitioning hesitant students into school first day. Parents you can help us by quickly separating. We do not allow parents to walk children to class on the first day as this often makes things more difficult for students having trouble on the first few days.
- Bus delays. Many times our buses are on time, but sometimes the first few days bring with them delays.
- An ongoing commitment to Safety and Security! During the first 7 days of the school year we will hold multiple evacuation and lock down drills.
- Homework beginning the week of August 28th (not the first two days).
LET'S SHOW PYTHONS CARE RIGHT FROM THE START!
Below is a list of much needed food items to help restock the Tree of Life pantry:
- Rice
- Beans (bagged/canned)
