Good afternoon DTJH Families, Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Back to School Bash that was scheduled for this Friday night has been canceled. All refunds will be issued to anyone who has already paid beginning tomorrow, Thursday, August 29th. We apologize for the inconvenience.

At EVE we are working diligently to make sure that your students are exiting the building safely during our daily dismissal. Our staff is enduring the heat by getting parents checked in through our dismissal system, teachers are checking them out in their classrooms, and we have one final checkpoint that students go through before they are completely dismissed each day. We are extremely grateful for all of our parents cooperation and patience as we ensure that your students are safe and securely released back into your care daily. #movinginexcellence #ittakesavillage

At DTJH, students in the Project Lead the Way classes have been using cardboard boxes to design and create a custom foot orthosis for a child with cerebral palsy, integrating principles of engineering and biomechanics. This hands-on project not only enhances their technical skills but also fosters empathy and problem-solving in addressing real-world medical challenges. While this is happening at DTJH, we have exciting activities happening on all of our campuses. Remember to check our Events Calendar on our website for details specific to your child's school.

At DTJH, student's in Mrs. Green's classes engaged in a fun interactive review by playing "Deal or No Deal" to reinforce their understanding of adding and subtracting integers and rational numbers.

While this is happening at DTJH, we have exciting activities happening on all of our campuses. Remember to check our Events Calendar on our website for details specific to your child's school.

eStem East Village Elementary received an amazing gift of donation to the Nurse's office! Thank you to the Kirkwood Family Foundation for your generous support! #ittakesavillage #spiritofexcellence

We are ready!! Students in Kindergarten through 6th grade will be taking their i-Ready assessments beginning this week! The i-Ready Diagnostic is a computer adaptive achievement assessment that determines how to best support your child’s learning. i-Ready dynamically adapts to a student’s responses. As your child works through the questions, three consecutive correct answers will result in more difficult questions, while three incorrect answers will result in easier questions. i-Ready creates a unique, research-based lesson plan for each child, tailored to their individual performance on the i-Ready Diagnostic test. This gives the teachers the ability to modify the sequences of lessons or add new ones based on their understanding of their students’ needs. Please make sure your child arrives on time every day, but most importantly on testing days! (These are the testing dates for eStem Downtown K-6. You may check with your school for specific testing dates for your child.)

At DTJH, students in Ms. Racher's class were predicting if the mass of the steel wool would increase, decrease, or stay the same when it was burned. After burning it, they found that the mass increased, contrary to the students' prediction. They used the phenomenon to guide their learning on basic Chemistry. While this is happening at DTJH, we have exciting activities happening on all of our campuses. Remember to check our Events Calendar on our website for details specific to your child's school.

It has been a Fantastic first 4 days of the 24-25 school year at eStem East Village Elementary! Our students have been listening, learning, having fun and making new friends! #backtoschool #estemeastvillageelementary #estempcs
