EVA June Newsletter
June 2022
From the Principal
EVA Families,
We are in the final few weeks of school with warm, sunny weather around the corner. I am looking forward to us finishing the school year strong. As integral partners in your student’s success, we always look forward to working with our parents and guardians to support and monitor our student’s learning. Wrapping up the final months, please reinforce the following routines to help students finish the year strong.
Get outside: Once classes are done and all asynchronous work is turned in/ completed, go out for a walk, run, and/or game with friends and family. It is vital that we stay active and get fresh air to connect with friends and family.
Eat healthily: Encourage your children to eat more fruits, nuts, and vegetables and drink at least 8 (8 oz.) glasses of water every day. Limit the amount of soda and snack foods your children eat.
Monitor learning: Go through your student’s Canvas course and grades weekly. Here is the link to student grades. Be sure to praise them when you hear their incredible stories of learning or see a good grade on their latest assessment. They need validation for the good work they are doing.
Read, Read, Read: Success in school depends on a student’s ability to read and understand what they have read. Students should read a variety of books, including folktales, poetry, biographies, fiction, and more.
Parent Engagement and Innovation Showcase: Everett Public Schools Parent Engagement and Innovation Showcase will be held at the CRC on June 6, 2022, from 6:00 - 7:00 PM. Please join us on June 6 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Community Resource Center to learn from and engage with staff about two strategic plan innovations that will advance our student’s academic engagement. Link to event.
Join staff as they showcase new technologies integrated into our classrooms to improve student learning, such as the flat panels and classroom sound enhancements, and learn and ask questions about parent supports such as:
Let’s Talk request form
Parent University
Common Sense Media app review
How to get technology help
Home internet solutions
LMS parent accounts – Gradebook, HAC, Canvas
Go Guardian and Class Policy parent accounts
Student support digital health and well-being and social media
Also, in the Fall of 2023, our in-person middle schools will shift from the current seven-period day to a six-period day. This is an opportunity to hear your thoughts about our current seven-period schedule and how we might use this schedule shift to increase student access to advanced courses, ideas about new and innovative electives, align our middle school STEM experiences to our high school STEM choice pathways and create more elective choices for students. Come and engage with the middle school design committee to share your thoughts, questions, and feedback about the possibilities of a middle school six-period day.
Sincerely,
Daniel Natividad

From the Counselor
June has become the annual LGBTQ+ celebration month. Regardless of your personal feelings regarding the LGBTQ+ community this month is a time to teach our children the importance to treating others with respect and kindness. From youth.gov:
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month (LGBT Pride Month) is celebrated annually in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots, and works to achieve equal justice and equal opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) Americans. In June of 1969, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City staged an uprising to resist the police harassment and persecution to which LGBT Americans were commonly subjected. This uprising marks the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBT Americans.
Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBT Pride Month events attract millions of participants around the world. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that LGBTQ individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.
