Principal's Message
Dear Evergreen Elementary Families,
Hybrid Learning!
We are so excited to begin Hybrid Learning! TK-2nd and Special Day Classes will begin on April 12th, and 3rd-5th will begin on April 19th.
All families were notified of AM in person, AM distance learning, PM in person, or PM distance learning on Friday, March 19th. If you did not receive this notification, please call the Evergreen office at 588-5715.
Students will be required to wear masks during in-person learning. It needs to be a well-fitting surgical or cloth mask (not a gaiter, bandana, or plastic face shield). We do not expect your children to be perfect with mask wearing, and we realize that learning proper mask wearing is an ongoing skill for kids.
YMCA
The YMCA will be available during hybrid learning! If you are interested in your child attending the YMCA during hybrid learning, please email childcare@scfymca.org and let them know you are interested.
The YMCA will be open 7am-6pm. Students will be grouped into cohorts of no more that 14. As much as possible, they will keep classmates and school cohorts together.
Families can enroll for full day care which is anything over 5.5 hours for $60 a day, or a half day which is anything up to 5.5 hours for $30 a day. Hours can be split up, for example students could come to the YMCA at 7am, go to school, and then come back to use the rest of their hours. Masks will be required at the YMCA.
Other Questions about Hybrid?
If you have other questions about hybrid, please email me at jennifer_hansen@crpusd.org, or call the office and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I encourage you to watch our CRPUSD School Board Meetings for the most current information about hybrid learning. The dates, times, and Youtube links are below in the Important Dates section.
Yearbook
It’s time to order your yearbook! Lots of stuff has happened this year...Halloween car parade, Spirit Days, Material Pick Up Days, Google Meets, Virtual Family Fun Nights. It’s definitely a year for the books... or for a Yearbook. Here is the link to order a yearbook.
Amazon Smile
We are all doing a lot of shopping on Amazon.com, and here is a great way to get money back to Evergreen on purchases you are making anyway. Since November 2020, we have raised almost $1000 for our school! Here is the Link to the Amazon Smile Mobile App. Choose Evergreen Elementary PTA in Rohnert Park, CA.
2021-2022 School Calendar
Our School Calendar for next year has been approved. It is linked below this message so you can begin planning for next year.
Warmest regards,
Jen Hansen
Principal
Family Site Tours
Families that have selected in-person learning for either AM or PM are encouraged to come to campus for Family Site Tours. This will allow families to practice and do a "dry run" prior to beginning in person learning on April 12th and April 19th. Family Site Tours will be held on the following days/times:
Wednesday, April 7th from 12:00-3:00pm
Thursday, April 8th from 12:00-3:00pm
Friday, April 9th from 12:00-3:00pm
At Family Site Tours, your family will:
1. Collect their CrisisGo Lanyard that will be needed for check in every day
2. Familiarize themselves with the daily check in process in the MU, which includes the thermal temperature screening and CrisisGo Health Screening
3. Locate their child's classroom
Please note, teachers will not be available to meet with families during Family Site Tours, as they are actively preparing for hybrid learning!
More Information About Hybrid Learning
I have linked pertinent areas of our Evergreen COVID-19 School Safety Plan below. I will have the full plan available for families soon, but I wanted to share this information with families now.
Return to Campus Social Story
Returning to campus is going to be very exciting for your child! We also anticipate that they will have some nervousness and questions about returning to on-campus learning. I want to thank our wonderful Speech Language Pathologist Audrey Mahlstedt, School Counselor Megan Epstein, and School Psychologist Brett Hoyt for creating this Social Story about Returning to Campus. Please feel free to click on the google doc below to review this with your child as we prepare for in-person learning!

CRPUSD is hiring for temporary support positions at ALL of our sites as we transition to hybrid learning. Please click here for more information about how to apply for this position, or email me at jennifer_hansen@crpusd.org. Please see the flyer below for additional details.
