Become a Room Parent for Your Child's Classroom!

Being a room parent is a special type of involvement in which you can enjoy a closer connection to your child’s teachers and other parents, and the feeling of knowing your efforts are needed and appreciated by the entire school. You can also establish yourself as a reliable member of your school community, and gain perspectives and experiences you wouldn’t otherwise have.

If you’re interested, please fill out the volunteer form: https://forms.office.com/r/WpNJ0jJQqK. Before volunteering, please read and understand the expectations Room Parents must meet and boundaries they must maintain: https://www.eagleviewespta.org/room-parents.


Reflections Art Contest

1

EVES PTA is sponsoring the annual Reflections Art Contest. The goal of the Reflections program is to encourage all students to participate in the arts, regardless of their previous experience, and have fun unleashing their creativity. Recognizing our students’ participation and accomplishments will help our school community create memories that will last a lifetime. The Reflections program intends to grow students’ confidence in their creative vision, and help students value their artistic skills. All artwork must relate to this year’s theme: “Accepting Imperfection”.

There is only a month left to submit your creations! To learn more, visit our website: https://www.eagleviewespta.org/reflections

After School Programs at Eagle View!

EVES Math Club

Our 5th and 6th grade Math Club is modeled after the MathCounts program and aims to teach multiple strategies for out-of-the-box problem solving, develop mathematical flexibility in solving those problems, and foster mathematical creativity and ingenuity. The fall session meets on Mondays 4:15-5:15pm, 10/21/24 - 12/16/24. There are no meetings on student holidays and early release days (10/28 (early release), 11/11 (holiday), and 12/9 (early release)). That is a total of only 6 sessions for the fall, but we will continue the club in the spring*

*Club prices and meeting days may be different in the spring.
