Page A Letter From Our Principal
Dear Eastvalley Parents,
Fall is all around us! Fall happens to be one of my
favorite times of the year with the cooler weather, football
and all the festivals around the area.
The PTA did a marvelous job putting on an awesome Fall
Festival at Eastvalley. The weather could not have been
better, the rides were popular with the children and the food
was yummy! Of course, the raffle baskets brought some
excitement at the end and the Kiss A Frog contest was
popular again! Mitzi Branham, a 5th grade teacher, showed
such great spirit in kissing the frog, even though she wasn’t in
the running until the last minute! Way to go Ms. Branham!!
Karen Wacker, Principal
Thanks to PTA, especially Marlene Kassens, Tammy Feilmeier, Sue Larsen and Tai Terry for their
hard work on this event!
As we end our first nine weeks of school and begin our 2nd nine weeks, here are some ways for
you to help your child at home:
1. Ask them specific questions about their day like, “what did you learn in math today? Show me
how to do it.”
2. Give them a time and place to complete their homework. Check it after they are done and talk
about the mistakes you see. Ask them, “tell me about what you were thinking when you gave this
answer.” Sometimes they need to hear someone think out loud to see how it’s done.
3. READ, READ, READ to them, with them and listen to them! Nothing is more beneficial to your
child that reading at home with parents. Every child should be reading or being read to at least
20 minutes every night!!
4. Encourage them to give everything their best effort, even if it is something they don’t necessarily
like to do.
5. Be a good role model for all aspects of the school day….being on time, respectful communication,
completing activities, and giving it your all. Children always look to the adults in their lives to see
how they should act!
Thank you for your continued support of your children and the teachers at Eastvalley. Please read
my blog each week for upcoming events and other communications. You can access it at
www.eastvalleyelementary.com. You can also call me at any time to discuss issues, concerns,
questions and ideas. The school phone number is 770-578-7214.
Have a great October!!!

Page Start Practicing for the CRCT
As you know, your child will be taking the Criterion Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) in April 2010.
These tests will be based on the Georgia Performance Standards curriculum your child is being taught
at school each day. The Georgia State Department of Education has developed an online assessment
system containing practice tests that your child can take at home if he/she has access to the internet.
There is no charge for the assessments and you can monitor your child’s progress easily.
The practice tests are based on the skills and knowledge that will be tested next spring and test items are
presented in the same format that students will see on the actual test. It is not too early to start practicing
for the CRCT! On Tuesday, October 13, 2009, a letter was sent home with all of the details and directions
on how to use the system. We hope this resource will be helpful to you throughout the year. If you have
any questions, contact you child’s teacher or Dr. Sage Doolittle, Assistant Principal, at 770-578-7214 or
[email protected].
Thank you for your support!

As you all know, building vocabulary is important to all learners. We recommend checking out
this site: www.vocabulary.com
Here you will find many helpful resources. Categories include root words, word lists, test
preparation, and vocabulary lists for over 125 books. Remember building vocabulary builds
readers.
Also, ESOL families, join us at the Public Library on October 24th at 10:30AM. We will have
interpreters and assistance available in getting you and your child a library card. To receive a
library card, parents need to bring a utility bill for proof of Cobb County residence.
The library is a great place to be!

News from East Cobb Middle School
When Eastvalley Elementary students graduate from our fabulous school, they will proceed on to East
Cobb Middle School. During the year, we’ll be sharing a few of the activities happening at the middle
school in hopes that our students and parents will be able to make a smooth transition when the time
comes.
This month, Carrie Weatherford shares the latest news from the East Cobb Middle School Foundation:
In September, we had a blast at our Cosmic Bowling Event and raised money for ECMS at the same time.
Congratulations to students Tanner Bradford and Shannon Redmond who had the top scores! Keep an eye
out for future fundraisers such as our jewelry event in November. As always, the mission of the East Cobb
Middle School Foundation is to support the students and staff of ECMS by raising funds and providing
resources to support programs that are in alignment with the school’s mission of learning for living.

Posters stating “HUGS NOT DRUGS” will be placed in areas that students observe frequently.
Eastvalley counselor, Ms. James, has been stressing “Drug Awareness” and related activities with
our students. Each morning she will have an announcement and a lottery drawing. Tickets have
been given to the students and prizes will be awarded daily to each grade level.
DAILY EVENTS

wear RED clothing turned INSIDE OUT.
Tuesday Students will receive Educational Activity Books that encourage them to be drug free
by believing in themselves, setting goals, and refusing to be involved with drugs.
Wednesday “Don’t Get Tied Up With Drugs or Alcohol”. Students and staff should wear the
craziest ties they can find.
Thursday “Choices- Drug Education” will be presented by Mr. Cliff Beaman with the American
Art Assemblies. He will provide education on smart healthy choices regarding drugs,

It’s Time to Send in Box Tops!
Have you ever noticed those little pink Box Top logos on many of
your favorite products? Did you know that if you cut those out and
turn them into Eastvalley Elementary, our PTA gets money? The more
Box Tops we turn in, the more money we get toward special programs
that support and inspire our children to achieve beyond the curriculum.
(EVRC, E=MC2, field trips, etc)
We are dedicating October 19th - 23rd (that’s this week) to collecting as many box tops as we possibly
can. Just cut them out and put them in a zip lock bag with your child’s name and their teacher’s name
written on the outside of the bag. Then drop them off in the big pink collection box at the entrance of the
school. We get 10 cents for every box top with the only limit being how many we are willing to collect!
For extra incentive, the class that collects the most box tops will win an ice cream party! So ask your
family and friends to help you and your kids raise money for the programs that uplift our children.
Once you’ve turned in your box tops, remember to keep clipping and saving for our spring box top
collection.
Turn Your Child’s Artwork
into Special Gifts
Imagine your child’s art on...refrigerator magnets, coffee cups,
stationery and much more. Your child has been busy creating a masterpiece
in art class with Mrs. Landry. Square 1 Art lets your child show off their creativity to their biggest fans by
turning that artwork into a truly special gift.
The Square 1 Art magnet and order form will be coming home in your child’s communication folder the week
of October 19th. The magnet is yours to keep. Just send in the order form by October 29st and you’ll have
the gifts back in plenty of time for Christmas!
Thanks in advance for your orders and for your support of Eastvalley!

Thank you Eastvalley Book Fair Volunteers.
You Were Amazing!
The Media Staff would like to express its gratitude
to a fantastic group of volunteers - their hard
working hands and dedicated hearts were
Eastvalley Book Fair
instrumental in helping us exceed last year’s book
fair sales by $3,000.00. Eastvalley is blessed to have such giving volunteers! Thank you so much!
Dedicated Books
Would you like to support the love of reading? With just a ten dollar donation, you may have a brand new
book donated to the Eastvalley Media Center in the name of anyone you wish. This is a fun way to honor a
relative, a teacher or a student while supporting Eastvalley’s Media Center. Donation forms may be picked up
in the Media Center.
Congratulations to Maddie Zimmerman, Catherine Pyle, Rachel Larsen and Erik Larsen for making
donations to our Dedicate-A-Book Program this year. We appreciate your gift and the dedicated books
will be enjoyed by many students for years to come!
Eastvalley Reading Club
The Eastvalley Reading Club (EVRC) has set this year’s goal at 25,000 points. Two months into the school
year and we have already earned 4,833 points. It would be wonderful for each student to set an individual
goal in order to help with our school wide goal. At the end of the school year, certificates will be given to
students who earn 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 points. Last year a kindergartener earned 100 points and a
fifth grader earned 500 points! Our school-wide goal is very doable, but we need everyone’s support!
Thank you so much for your support!

Estimados Pais da Eastvalley,
O outono esta chegando! Outono é uma das minhas
estações do ano favorita com a temperatura um pouco fria, o futebol e os festivais.
A PTA fez um trabalho maravilhoso organizando o Festval de
Outono da Eastvalley. A temperatura estava perfeita, as crianças
adoraram os brinquedos e a comida estava maravilhosa! Os
sorteios das cestas foram muito excitantes e claro, o concurso
de beijar o sapo foi muito popular este ano! Mitzi Braham, professora de 5ta. série mostrou grande coragem em beijar o sapo, ela
so ficou sabendo que estava concorrendo no ultimo minuto. Muito
bem Mitzi!!
Karen Wacker, Diretora
Agradecemos a PTA, especialmente Marlene Kassens, Tammy
Feilmeier, Sue Larsen e Tai Terry por todo trabalho em organizar este evento!
Como estamos terminando a primeira “nove semanas” e começando a segunda “nove semanas”, aquí estão
algumas sugestões para ajudar sua criança em casa.
1.
Pergunte a ele(a) questões específicas sobre seu dia, “O que você aprendeu em
Matemática hoje? Mostre-me como fazer.”
Proporcione um espaço e um horário para fazer o dever de casa. Examine quando
2.
terminar o dever e fale sobre os erros cometidos. Pergunte “Diga-me o que estava
pensando quando respondeu esta questão” algumas vezes eles precisam ouvir de
alguém para determinar como responder uma questão corretamente.
LEIA, LEIA, LEIA para ele(a), com ele(a) e escute o(a) a ler! Nada é mais beneficial
3.
para uma criança do que ler com os pais em casa. Toda criança deve ler pelo
menos 20 minutos todas as noites!!
Encorage para que ele(a) faça o melhor possível, mesmo que seja algo que ele(a)
4.
não goste de fazer.
Seja um exemplo para seu filho(a) com realação ao aspectos escolares... seja
5.
pontual, respeitoso(a), comunicativo(a), complete as atividades e de o máximo de
si mesmo. As crianças observam os adultos em suas vidas como modelos!
Obrigada pela ajuda contínua a suas crianças e professores da Eastvalley. Por favor visite meu blog da
escola para saber os proximos acontecimentos, acionando o site www.eastvalleyelemntary.com ou pode me
telefonar com perguntas, preocupações ou idéias. O telefone da escola é 770-578-7214.
Tenha um Outubro maravilhoso!

CRCT
Como você já deve saber, sua criança fará a prova de Competência Baseada em Critério em Abril de
2010. Estas provas serão baseadas no Critério do Padrão do Currículo da Geórgia, que esta sendo
ensinado a sua criança na escola todos os dias. O departamento de educação desenvolveu um sistema
de ajuda eletrônica que contém testes preparatórios de avaliação que sua criança pode praticar em casa
acessando a internete. Esta avaliação pela internete é gratuita e você podera observar o progresso de
sua criança facilmente.
Os testes de prática são baseados nas mesmas habilidades e conhecimentos que serão testados na
primavera e o formato dos testes são os mesmos. Nunca é muito cedo para começar a praticar o teste
CRCT! Na terça-feira, 13 de outubro de 2009 enviamos uma carta com detalhes e instruções de como
utilizar este sistema. Esperamos que este recurso lhes ajude durante o ano. Se tiver alguma pergunta,
por favor entre em contato com o professor de sua criança ou com Dra. Sage Doolittle, a vice-diretora no
telefone 770-578-7214 ou [email protected]. Obrigada por sua ajuda!
