Eastview Elementary School

EV Families: Quick reminder that our Canned Food Drive is taking place this week! I was out sick last Friday and thus missed the normal Friday update. Principal Kates

Book Fair next week (Nov. 8 - Nov. 12): The kids are so excited! While we will not have a "Parent Night", all kids will get two chances to attend the Book Fair next week (early in the week & again toward the end of the week). Parents can also set up an "ewallet" and shop at the link below! Note: If sending cash with kids, please do so in as secure a manner as possible - sealed in a labeled envelope for instance. Loose cash is not good! https://www.scholastic.com/bf/eastview

Spirit Day tomorrow to support Football Team! Wear as much red & white as you can! Expect my regular weekly update tomorrow afternoon with more info about these next few weeks! Principal Kates

Eastview is hiring: We are looking for Special Education assistants who want to work in a positive & rewarding environment. If you are interested, please email me at ckates@fayette.k12.in.us. Thank you for considering joining our incredible team!

EV Family Update 10.22.21: Fall Break starts next week! Enjoy and be safe! Please be sure you're using the FCSC App. In the app, click on Eastview then click on "Events".

Next Thursday & Friday Student Council will be selling doughnuts for 1$. Proceeds to local charity. Popcorn Friday is 50 cents a bag. I know from experience it's no fun when your child asks for money the night before! Set it aside now. Chris Kates
