Candy Grams are tasty lollipop treats that your child can purchase and send to their friends, teachers, or anyone special to them that attends or works at Eastvalley. It's the perfect way for us to spread love and kindness. Candy Grams will be delivered to homerooms on February 14th, making it a heartwarming surprise for the recipients.

Parents, we need your help!
Georgia Parent Survey
The Georgia Parent Survey was developed to measure parent perceptions of school climate at your child’s school. Your opinion is very important to us. Your survey responses are confidential and will be combined with the survey responses of other parents at your child’s school to identify areas in need of improvement. It should only take ten or fifteen minutes to complete the survey. Thank you for your time and participation. Please complete the survey by clicking here https://gshs.gadoe.org/parents.
