Principal's Message
Hello EMS Community,
I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend. With week three beginning, I'm hoping that your student has gotten into a routine and flow for their daily schedule. As teachers begin to dive deeper into academic content and push students to critically think more than ever, a daily routine will be key. If you haven't already, please look for student asynchronous work and/or applied learning to be posted for students to complete outside of classtime. Many students that I've spoken with have assumed that their school day is over after their 12:30 advisory class. Please help students to understand that teachers will be posting homework on their Google Classroom pages each day. Students should continue on and complete the posted work each afternoon after classes wrap up.
All core content teachers have Office Hours each day from 2:30-3pm. Students are encouraged to join the teacher's Google Meet link at that time if they need extra support or have questions. Each teacher's Office Hour meet link is posted on their Google Classroom.
Below you'll find more information about the current happenings around Evergreen. Be sure to check out our new clubs and opportunities for students at the bottom of the Newsletter.
Have a great week!
Mr. Gulley
Evergreen Principal

Disregard the Hotspot Cycle Ending Message
IMPORTANT: Teacher Office Hours
It's an opportunity for students to get individual support as well as ask clarifying questions.
If a students misses class earlier that day, it's also a way to have their attendance counted as "present" for that day.
Textbook Return
7th Graders, your former elementary teachers and staff are asking that you please return all of your textbooks (6th Grade CPM Books) from last year as soon as possible. You can drop them into our dropbox here at EMS and we'll return them for you.
8th Graders, please return all of last year's textbooks as soon as possible. We still have so many that have yet to be returned.
WEEKLY ATTENDANCE PERCENTAGES
When you look at attendance percentages, whether it is a school or individual, here is how it compares if you received a grade for attendance.
- >95%=A
- 93%-95%=B
- 91%-93%=C
- 90%-91%=D
- <90 =F (Chronically absent)
So looking below at last week's attendance, we met our goal two of the five school days. Our goal is to reach the A level each day of each week. When students are in attendance, it makes everything run more smoothly.
