Students that qualify for English language Services will be taking the ACCESS assessment beginning the week of January 23rd. This assessment is a mandated assessment for all students that qualify for English language services. This assessment assesses a students understanding and usage of the English language.

In the next couple of weeks, students will be participating in STAR testing in reading and math. This assessment is a computerized assessment that is given three times a year to all students in kindergarten through 4th grade. In addition, students will be assessed on their reading fluency progress through FastBridge. The Evergreen staff uses the information gathered on these assessments to plan instruction for their students.

There have been many of you asking about how to deliver birthday invitations at school. Your child can deliver birthday invitations at school if they are for everyone in the class or for every gender in the class (all the boys or all the girls). If you are only inviting select members of the class, please refer to the PTA Member Hub. You may be able to find contact information for students if they are registered through the Hub.

We are looking for parent volunteers to come in and provide Junior Achievement lessons to the students in Kindergarten-4th grade. Junior Achievement is a wonderful program that is dedicated to educating students about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy through hands-on and engaging lessons. The lessons are well planned and easy to implement. If you are interested in volunteering for this program or have any questions about it, please contact the PTA coordinator, Shea Wanshek.
