Back To School
August 2021
Principal's Message
I hope that you had a wonderful, relaxing summer, and are looking forward to the new school year as much as we are! I am honored and eager to meet all of the students and families, and work with all of you throughout the 2021-2022 school year and beyond. This is my first year at Evergreen. For all of our new families, we are on this journey together and will help each other through a new building, new faces, and exciting times to come. For everyone returning, I can't wait to join in the amazing things that Evergreen school, students, and families have to offer.
I am excited to celebrate where we have been, and the growth and success that we will see through engagement, collaboration, and building relationships.
On behalf of all of the Evergreen staff, we hope all families are able to attend the Open House night on August 25 from 4:30-6:00 P.M. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via phone or email.
I look forward to CELEBRATING with you all as we move forward together!
Sincerely,
Laura Maier

STEP-BY-STEP E-FUNDS GUIDE FOR PARENTS
School Supply lists for 4K-5th
DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES
All parents dropping and picking up will enter the Fox River entrance (that is the closest to Casey's) and then continue to the loop. You will then exit the driveway between Evergreen and Fox River. If you are a parent/guardian with a Leap Student and they have siblings at Evergreen, you are able to go in the inner circle up to the little stop sign for drop off and pick up. A leap teacher will be there waiting for your student. 4K and their siblings will go in the inner circle starting with the blacktop and up to the crosswalk. For families that have 5K and up you may start unloading in between the signs. Parents please stay in the car when dropping off and picking up. If your child/children get in the car and can’t get buckled please pull up behind the 4k line. This will allow traffic to flow. There will be plenty of staff outside to assist in making these procedures run smoothly. Thanks for all of your support!
Evergreen Elementary Car Drop Off and Pick Up Directions
Please follow the red arrows when dropping off students before school or picking them up after school.
Please do not park and walk to pick up children, rather stay in the car line so that we can ensure safety of all students and staff.
BUS ROUTES WILL BE POSTED AT OPEN HOUSE August 25th
