Evergreen Elementary Handbook

Welcome

Our mission at Evergreen Elementary is to build relationships with kids to help them grow into caring, independent problem solvers, & lifelong learners.  We believe that when kids feel safe and cared for, they are more likely to take the risks needed to try new things, make mistakes, learn, and grow. Evergreen Elementary was built in 1976 and in 1990 a six-room addition was added. In 2021 two additional classrooms were added along with a new kitchen, multi-purpose room, and a new main office with a secure main entrance. 

Because of our commitment to students, the atmosphere and climate at Evergreen is pleasant and positive. We promote respect and positivity among students and staff. We regularly teach the importance of having “S.O.A.R.ing behavior” to emphasize our core values of being Super-Safe, On-Task, Always Respectful, and Really Responsible. Each month we have an all-school assembly that begins with dancing and the singing of our School Song.  During the assembly we celebrate the successes of our students while teaching about concepts such as Kindness, Integrity, Gratitude, Responsibility, Grit, Fairness, Safety, and Resilience. To show our commitment to being kind and respectful, each Monday our school recites the Evergreen Courage Team Pledge.

Be on the lookout for S.O.A.R. slips which acknowledge students who are caught having S.O.A.R.ing behavior. Children get a 2-part slip; one to drop off at the office for a chance to win a prize from Mr. Koepke’s Treasure Chest and one to save for the S.O.A.R. Store. Each month, children can spend their S.O.A.R slips for prizes and activities!  

As an additional part of our commitment to creating a positive learning environment, Evergreen Elementary enjoys regular visits from Jake the therapy dog. Trained and certified through Therapy Dogs International, Jake spends one or two days per week working at Evergreen. While on duty, Jake visits sad or upset children, listens to children read, and visits classrooms as requested. We are proud to have Jake as a member of our staff!

Another unique feature that sets Evergreen apart from other schools is our student-run video announcements and newsroom. Each day a group of 5th graders are responsible for recording, producing, and publishing our daily announcements which are then shown on TVs within each classroom. Also, as news stories arise, it is not uncommon for a group of students to write, record, and produce a news story so everyone in our school community can learn about the exciting things that are happening at Evergreen Elementary.

Please take a moment to read about our various practices and policies in this handbook. Many of your questions can be answered by doing so!  If you have a question that is not addressed within this handbook, call our school office; we are here to help!
