New Family Social is tonight!
We hope all of our new families can join us for our New Family Social and Pop-Up Museum this evening from 5:30pm-6:30pm.
Parking: Please leave the 3 spaces in front of the gym open for parents who are picking up from EverAfter. Give yourself enough time to walk up from the lower lot if needed.
Drop Off: Please take school aged children to the gym, take time to connect with the staff in charge. Adults and littles too young to be left in the gym will report to the Elementary Foyer (the double doors that students use during morning drop-off).
Bring: Yourselves and your burning questions! Staff and Family Ambassadors will be available to talk with you about the Evergreen experience.
Ugh…Traffic!
Tips to keep the Upper Lot from backing up!
Morning traffic:
Have your child ready to get out of the PASSENGER SIDE of the car as soon as you stop. Say your goodbyes and gather bags before stopping.
Pull all the way forward before stopping and follow traffic team instructions
Afternoon traffic:
Place your placard in a place where the traffic team can see the number in the bottom right corner.
Leave your placard on your dash until your kid is in the car, then remove your placard as a signal to the traffic team that you're full and ready to move.
When possible, turn your car off when you're waiting.
Please be patient! We are learning a new system and figuring everything out.
Carpool if possible. The fewer cars we have going through the line, the faster it will go!
Welcome back Evergreen Families!
We would like to start by acknowledging and holding space for those who experienced grief and loss over the summer. Katy and Hunter are here to support your students and families through these difficult times. We also hope you had a summer that had moments of fun, rest, and meaningful connection. Speaking of connection, Katy and Hunter are new this year and are looking forward to welcoming and connecting with new and returning students and families alike. Introductions will follow in upcoming Scoop Counseling Corners!
As your school counselors, we will be working closely with your student(s)’ grade level team(s) to promote social-emotional learning and provide support to students throughout the year. Learn more about our roles, community resources, and School Counseling FAQs by checking out the K-4 Counseling & Behavior Support Parent Hub and the 5-8 Counseling Parent Hub. Stay tuned into the Scoop Counseling Corner, where we will share weekly parenting tips, resources, and more to support your student(s) this year. Check out this back to school resource!
Come be a part of our Community Work Day events! These Saturday work days are a great way to make new friends and connect with old ones. We will work together on meaningful projects that make it possible for our community to play and learn in a beautiful, clean, functional environment. If that isn't enough to motivate you, then come for the bagels and bananas! Parents, feel free to bring your kids! There are lots of projects that kids can also help with.
As each date approaches we will announce the focus projects, ask for RSVP's and invite you to join us with any specialized skills and tools you might have to contribute. No experience necessary! Your pure enthusiasm is enough!

Family Friendly Event this Friday
This Friday one of our long time partners RIVERLINK is celebrating a milestone of environmental reclamation.
It would be great to show up and let them know we see and appreciate them! This is such an awesome connection area of the greenway, too!
From the organizers:
“Since its purchase in 2006, RiverLink has been removing concrete, remediating pollution, and planning a new community park.
Join us this Friday August 25th from 4-6 pm, as we celebrate the opening of Karen Cragnolin Park at 190 Amboy Road.
You can expect to see musicians, chalk artists, and lots of fun unfolding on this new section of greenway, as we dedicate the park to RiverLink founder and environmental leader Karen Cragnolin.”
