To make up school days that are missed, the EVSC utilizes
make-up days built into the school calendar or Virtual
make-up days. Virtual days are used so missed content can
be taught as close to the day missed as possible, keeping
students on track.
Here’s how they work:
• A make-up week will be announced by your school.
• On Monday of the virtual make-up week, your student’s
teacher will assign a lesson.
• Your student will have one week to complete the lesson
using a computer, tablet or smart phone.
• Your student can complete the work at home, or before
or after school.
• Your student will submit the lesson for a grade.
During virtual make-up weeks, schools have extended

Health Tip of the Month - #MentalHealth Importante: La inscripción para el Kínder
comienza a finales de este mes.
Good mental health allows children to think clearly, develop socially and learn
new skills. Additionally, good friends and encouraging words from adults are all
important for helping children develop self confidence and a healthy emotional
outlook. Appropriate guidance and discipline, paired with unconditional love
and acceptance, should be part of an emotionally healthy home.#TipsForSuccess March and April are when accountability assessments are given in Indiana. In March, the IREAD-3 assessment is given to measure the foundational reading skills of third graders. In April, students in grades 3-8, as well as high school biology students, will take the state’s ILEARN assessment which measures student achievement and growth according to Indiana Academic Standards. Testing Tips • Minimize your student’s screen time at home, especially before bed. • Ensure your student gets plenty of rest with a good night’s sleep. • Provide your student with a well-balanced, protein-rich breakfast. • Encourage your student to stay positive and to just do their best. Testing is important, but it is only one measurement of student success. Help your student stay calm and do his or her best on the test.

Summer is a time for fun and relaxation, but it can also be
a perfect time for learning. Studies suggest that students
can lose up to a month’s worth of academic knowledge
over the summer. Here are some things you can do over
the summer with your child to keep them interested and
learning.
Increase Summer Learning With These Tips:
• Check out your local public library for reading lists and
programs.
• Create games and projects that involve learning.
• Take advantage of local and regional museums.
• Tour area industries and
manufacturing plants.
• Have your child keep a diary.
• Have your student attend a
summer day camp.
• Check out educational websites
that offer free games and
programs for children.
• Visit your local zoo.
