Dear Panther Parents,
This day is always bitter sweet for me! We have watched our students grow, overcome challenges, and celebrate successes...and now it is time to say good-bye. For our 6th and 7th graders, we look forward to seeing you in a couple of months, but for our 8th graders, you are moving on to high school where you will accomplish amazing things. Please keep in touch, best of luck to each of you, and always remember, once a Panther, always a Panther!
Panther Palooza is tomorrow for incoming 6th graders. This is a student event and we look forward to meeting our new Panthers. Unfortunately, I will miss this event because my son is graduating from McKinney North HS tomorrow. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I'm not sure how my babies keep getting older and I stay the same age...hehee!! On a serious note, take in this precious time and enjoy the small moments...they are over in a flash.
Please review the calendar in the newsletter for summer events leading up to school beginning on August 15th.
It has been a wonderful school year, and I love teaming with our community. You guys are the BEST!!
Have a fabulous summer,
Darla

| PLEASE UPDATE CONTACT INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE MOVED OR IF YOU ARE MOVING OVER THE SUMMER |
Parents,
Are you ready for the end of the school year? Here are 3 quick reminders:
- If you are moving, please notify the school before the end of the year so you can get withdrawal papers that the new school will need.
- Make sure that your email address is on file. A registration update will be emailed in August for you to complete --otherwise you will have to complete a packet by hand at the beginning of the school year.
- Remember that you will need to provide a new proof of residence when school starts.
Enjoy your summer!!

| WILL YOUR STUDENT BE TAKING DRIVER'S ED THIS SUMMER? |
I
f your student turns 15 during the summer break and plans to apply for a Driver's Learning Permit before school starts, make sure you see Lynne Wells to get a Verification of Enrollment form.

NO SHOTS - NO SCHOOL!
Make sure your student is up to date on their immunizations. Incoming 7th graders are required to have Tdap and Meningitis vaccines within the past 5 years TO ATTEND SCHOOL!
SUN SENSE!!
Sunburn can lead to dehydration, flu-like symptoms, chills, blistering and PAIN!!!
PREVENTION:
- To prevent sunburn, wear long sleeves and a hat.
- Stay WELL hydrated while in the sun. Seek shade whenever possible.
- Use sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection. Apply at least 15 minutes prior to sun exposure. Reapply sunscreen after swimming or exercise.
- AVOID tanning beds. Use of sun beds before the age of 35 substantially increases the risk of melanoma!!
- Certain drugs make you more sun sensitive: some antibiotics, acne medicine and the herbal medicine, St. John's Wort.
TREATMENT:
- Get out of the sun or tanning bed.
- Cover exposed skin.
- Cool water baths (not ice) to affected area.
- Medications such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or naproxen are useful.
- Apply aloe-type product.
- Do not pop blisters and peel. This may lead to infection.
HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY SUMMER VACATION!
SEE YOU IN AUGUST!

| TWO NEW WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOL |
It's easier than ever for you to make a difference at Evans! We have two new ways for you to support our school while you shop, without any extra cost to you.
 Do you shop at Kroger? Evans Middle School PTO is now enrolled with Kroger's Community Rewards program. If you already have a Kroger Rewards Card, log in to your account at www.kroger.com and then click Enroll. You can search for Evans Middle School PTO or enter our code, AF012. New users will need to create an account, which requires some basic information, a valid email address, and a Rewards Card. You must have a registered Kroger Rewards Card account to link it to our school. If you don't have a card, they a
re available at the customer service desk at any Kroger. Then each time you shop at Kroger, swipe your card or use the phone number related to your card. Then PTO will take the proceeds to help our students and staff!
When you shop through Amazon Smile, Evans Middle School PTO will receive 0.5% of most purchases to fund programs, events, and grants at our school. To get started, designate Evans PTO as your charitable organization by going to https://smile.amazon.com/ch/57-1206927. Then every time you shop, start at smile.amazon.com and our school will benefit (at no cost to you!).
Please share these ways to support Evans Middle School with friends. Thanks for your support!

We are so lucky to have so many wonderful volunteers who make it possible for us to make our school the very best it can be! Please remember that if you are a returning volunteer, or maybe a first time MISD volunteer, that you must go online to fill out a Volunteer Application and be approved before you can serve in any capacity where you will have contact with students. Sometimes this takes a couple of weeks, so please do it as soon as possible! We need you!!!
Click HERE to go directly to the link.
Thank you so very much! We look forward to having you on our campus!
Note:
Volunteer applications may take up to two weeks to be processed.
If after two weeks you have not been contacted regarding your volunteer status, please contact MISD Human Resources at 469-302-4117. DO NOT contact staff members at schools regarding your volunteer application. Your application is a confidential matter.
Once you are approved, you will be able to volunteer in the district throughout the school year.

A critical ingredient in the safe school recipe is the uniform classroom response to any incident. Weather events, fires, accidents, intruders and other threats to student safety are scenarios that are planned and trained for by all McKinney ISD schools and District Administration and staff. Historically, schools have taken this scenario-based approach to respond to hazards and threats. Each McKinney ISD classroom is furnished with the Standard Response Protocol poster that provides teachers with readily accessible response procedures and provides information during a crisis event. The attached handout explains Standard Response Protocol that is taught to students, faculty and staff.
Please click the link below to view the Standard Response Protocol parent handout.

Due to a variety of safety concerns related to food allergies and campus safety and security,
McKinney ISD will no longer allow students to utilize food delivery services at school. This includes services such as Uber Eats, Doordash and direct restaurant delivery. However, parents/guardians will still be permitted to drop food off for their children.
This rule does not apply to deliveries organized by McKinney ISD faculty or a teacher serving as a sponsor of a student organization. We appreciate your cooperation in our efforts to create a safe and secure environment for students.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our offices.
