This year, the H&SA will be trialing the use of the Remind App. Evans families can opt in to receive text messages and/or push notifications to their smartphones. We plan to send out a Weekly H&SA Update to those who opt in, with information regarding that week's H&SA events and reminders. It'll be short and sweet and hopefully give busy parents a quick reminder about something they may have forgotten. Click HERE for more info on how to join using classroom code @b7bh6h.
Join the Home & School Association!
Our Mission
"Why should I join the Evans Home & School Association?"
Fundraising is only one of the things we do here at the Evans! You'll get the inside scoop on all H&SA events planned throughout the year and and be provided with opportunities to help with those events. As an H&SA member, you have a voice in decisions regarding how our funds are spent and who leads the H&SA team. You'll join a group of passionate teachers & parents who believe that, through volunteerism and school involvement, our students will grow up knowing the importance of community, and hopefully become adults who appreciate and support the same. Join the Home & School Association today!
Membership information is sent home each fall in the H&SA First Day Packet. You can also access the 2019-2020 forms by clicking here.

The objective of this organization is to provide communication and understanding between families, faculty and administration at Evans Elementary School. We intend to encourage parents and teachers to cooperate in the education of the child.
We also facilitate efforts to provide adequate social, physical, and educational materials and programs; to meet and enhance the students’ educational experience, and to raise and maintain community interest in the educative processes at Evans Elementary School.
If you plan on coming to the school this year during school hours, whether it's to volunteer for the H&SA, help teachers during a holiday party, or any other reason, you MUST have clearances on file with the SFASD district office!
Clearances (including the Annual Online Volunteer Registration) take AT LEAST 2 weeks to process. So if you have any interest in helping during September (think Fun Run and Book Fair!!!) please complete these ASAP!
Here's the link to fill out the Annual Online Volunteer Registration, as well as what other documentation you may need to submit - https://www.spring-ford.net/…/spring-…/volunteer-information

With the recent announcement from Governor Wolf regarding the indefinite closure of PA public schools, and after a virtual meeting with Mrs. Havrilla and Mrs. Harvie, there have been changes made to the H&SA Calendar of Events.
Visit our "Calendar of Events" tab for the most recent updates to our schedule.
This website is where Evans families can find the most up to date information regarding the H&SA.
Please know that the H&SA Executive Board Members are working hard to adjust the calendar for our future events. Unfortunately, much of this is out of our control. We'll do our best to keep families updated without being overwhelming, since we are Evans parents ourselves and know how difficult this change has been.
Again, the most up to date information can be found on our website.
Please feel free to reach out to any of us if you have any questions or concerns.
Stay safe & healthy! Sara, Jen, Jenn & Lisa
