Principal’s Letter
Hello,
Hopefully, you have had a good start to the school year. There's always a bit of transition that happens as it pertains to new enrollees and class changes. There also creates some anxiety for some as they are meeting new students and are getting to know better how to work with each other to build a great classroom and school community.
One of our new technology policies in regards to cell phones has been successful. Although students are curious to know the reason why and we have had great conversations about it. At the end of it, it comes down to our teachers can’t compete against a cell phone. We will always lose. We also talk about how it was during the pandemic, online and last year in person. It is highly difficult to build a healthy learning environment if we are having to get through the phone. I appreciate those of our families that have helped our students engage with this policy as it takes a village.
We are starting to look at our attendance data. Parentvue can be a powerful tool to be able to get up to date information about grades and attendance. If you need support signing up, THIS GUIDE to register or activate your account if you haven't done so already. If you have additional questions about how your student is doing, reach out to their advisor!
We have some great events coming up.

Policy Changes
Technology Policy
-
There will be a no-tolerance stance with cell phones and wireless headphones in classroom learning environments.
Laptops
-
Evergreen students have access (1 to 1) to laptops. It is an expectation that students bring their laptops to school daily.
Masks
-
“Ski Masks” will not be allowed to be used on campus. This posed safety concerns last year during Covid. If students need a mask for COVID precautions, we have masks available around campus.
-
Masks continue to be recommended by our Health Department.
Clothing
-
We will take a “reasonableness” approach to clothing students wear. Similar to going to a work environment, we will have respectful conversations as necessary to help students think through what is reasonable to wear as appropriate clothing to school.
Advisors
-
We are positioning advisors as the point of contact for home and school. Student advisors will have a family contact made within the first month, if not the first week of school. This lessens the load for teachers to worry about connecting with over 130 students’ families every month. Instead, they will focus on 20 quality relationships with their advisory students’ families.
-
Advisory will shift to start our day off firmly grounded in a supportive learning environment with their advocate. We are excited to see students in advisories starting at 8:00 am.
ASB Fees
-
The district has informed us that we will restart ASB and athletic fees for this year. More information to come.
Parking Permit
-
If your student plans to drive to school, please have your child sign up for a parking permit with our Bookkeeper Ms. Prado as soon as possible. Please note that parking permits are a required safety measure at our school to identify who should and should not be on campus during school hours.
As always, we want you to feel able to reach out to our Evergreen family for any questions you may have.
