We are excited to introduce this new club at Everwood! Any student in 3rd through 5th grade who is interested may ask their teacher for an application. Parents must be able to provide transportation for students who stay after school to participate in the Craft Club.
Congratulations to our students who placed first in their category for our Everwood Tech Fair. These students will advance to the District Technology Competition in January.
Congratulations to our top spellers at our Everwood Spelling Bee. Gilbert will advance to represent Everwood at the District Spelling Bee later this school year.
New Everwood Elementary Spirit Wear is now available!! Please visit the link below to purchase spirit wear items. Our school gets 100% of the profits from these sales. Our Everwood families even have the option to have their spirit wear delivered to the school for FREE. We will notify you when your order is ready to be picked up from Everwood. There will be new designs and clothing types offered throughout the year.
For any transportation changes, please send a written note to your child’s homeroom teacher. If your child needs to switch to car rider, you must have a car rider tag or plan to pick up your child from the front office.
If you forget to send a note, please call the front office at 470-691-3940 to notify us of the change.
All transportation changes must be made before 1:30 p.m.
Please do not send transportation changes through Remind, as teachers may not see those messages before dismissal.
Thank you for helping us keep all students safe!
Title I - Continuous Communication
On November 5th, we had a Learning on the Go meeting for parents and families about PBIS at Everwood. Please see the following document about our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
Recyclable Items Needed for STEM
Our STEM students love creating, building, and exploring--but that takes lots of materials. If you'd' like to help, we would love donations of clean, recyclable items and gently used building materials you may already have at home.
We're collecting:
Paper towel or toilet paper tubes
Plastic bottle caps and lids (any size/color)
Clean plastic containers (yogurt cups, coffee cans, etc.)
Small cardboard boxes (tissue, cereal, snack boxes)
Old buttons, beads, or puzzle pieces
Yarn, ribbon, or string scraps
Aluminum foil or wax paper rolls
Empty water bottles (labels removed)
Straws, craft sticks, or pipe cleaners
Unused paper plates or cups
Building toys we can reuse:
LEGO bricks or sets (mixed pieces welcome!)
K’NEX, Lincoln Logs, or Tinkertoys
Magnetic tiles (like Magna-Tiles or Picasso Tiles)
Marble run pieces
Snap Circuits or STEM-style building kits (even with missing parts!)
Thank you for supporting hands-on learning at Everwood Elementary! Every recycled item helps our young engineers dream, design, and build!

Parent Involvement
Arrival and Dismissal at Everwood
Arrival
Everwood doors open at 7:10am. Our EES teachers will help open car doors until 7:45am.
Please remain in the two car rider lines and refrain from entering the parking lot to release your student and/or walk them across the crosswalk. Know that a few of our students have been given permission to drop off in the parking lot area based on specific needs and challenges.
After 7:45, our teachers will enter the building to begin the day and students will need to exit their cars without teacher assistance and check in through the front office.
Dismissal
Students will be released at 2:20pm each afternoon. To keep cars off of McEver Rd, we ask that you arrive after 2:00pm to begin forming the two car rider lines. Also know that we record car rider numbers and release students based on the lane you are in. If you change lanes after your car rider number has been recorded, your child will be sent to the wrong line and it may cause significant delay.
*We ask for no student checkouts after 2:00pm. Thank you!!
