EDUCATOR APPRECIATION

Our educators deserve recognition for their dedication and hard work in nurturing future generations. Being explicit about our appreciation can boost teacher morale, leading to increased engagement, better student outcomes, and a more positive learning environment for everyone involved. Please take the time to send an EVES staff member a personal note, or participate in one of our special initiatives:

  • FCPS CARES

Have you ever heard you student say “He’s my favorite teacher” or “She really helped me a lot”? Have you had a notable interaction with one of our educators or staff? Submit a passage of praise to the FCPS CARES Recognition Program so we can acknowledge the good work of the wonderful people at EVES who educate and care for our students!

Program Description: https://www.fcps.edu/about-fcps/employees/recognition-programs/fcps-cares

Submit a Write-up: https://fcps-hr.guardianconduct.com/incident-reporting

 

  • STUFF THE TEACHERS ROOM

Send our teachers an extra thank you for the guidance and education they provide our children! Choose an item on our Teacher’s Lounge Amazon wishlist and it will ship directly to the school. Thanks for your support!

ROOM PARENT PROGRAM

Become a Room Parent for your student’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.
