School Community Councils are one way we can work together to make schools more successful and promote school improvement. The Community Council members work to improve the school environment and provide feedback on school programs. School Community Council members serve for a term of two years and must have a child attending our school. The time commitment is around an hour a month. The Evergreen Junior High Community Council follows these Rules of Order

Council Members

Council Members are chosen by election and are a mixture of school staff and community members. Candidacy and election procedures begin before each school year and are normally for a two year term unless the representative no longer has a student at the school.

Invitation to serve on the council: We warmly invite parents to serve on our school's community council. Information about council vacancies, declarations of candidacy forms, and elections are emailed sent out in August of each year.

Contact information for council members can be requested by contacting the School's Principal.
You can also send a message to any council member in care of a message sent to the School's Principal.

Serving on the Community Council allows parents to directly influence the way LAND Trust funds are used during the school year, which can include programs, materials, and other education-based solutions.

LAND Trust

Please visit this LAND Trust Public Report page to see the dollar amount our school receives each year from the School LAND Trust program, our school's final reports from the last two years, and a copy of our school's current LAND Trust plan.

The actual, current, and expected funding history for each school can be found online using the LAND Trust Funding Report.

2024-2025

  • School Plan / Final Report
  • Funds received: $88,970.59
  • Funds used for: 1. We will purchase reading software to complement classroom literacy instruction. ($5,000) 2. We will purchase math software (I-Ready, Derivita) to complement classroom mathematic instruction. ($12,000) 3. We will pay for 1.0 FTE Math teacher(s) to reduce class sizes in Math. ($71,000)

2023-2024

  • School Plan / Final Report
  • Funds received: $84,091.10
  • Funds used for: Land Trust funds will be used to pay for up to 1.0 teacher(s) FTE to reduce class sizes in math. Math comprehension is one of our greatest academic needs. We will create math labs, a reading strategies class, and add other extended periods when necessary to lower class sizes and focus on remediation. Our reading strategies class will provide support for students that currently read below standard on the HMH Reading Assessment. Evergreen will host an evening curriculum night mid-year for students and parents. The night will be spent with 5th grade students from our feeder schools. We introduce them to the various programs that we offer and train them how to access core standards. We also introduce them to literacy and/or numeracy strategies relevant to junior high and introduce them to organizational and other soft skills required in junior high. Teachers are paid a stipend to attend and participate. Teachers will run before and after school tutoring for students who need additional help. This will help with remediation and allow students to retake assessments. We may use Land Trust monies to pay teachers to stay after contract time for tutoring and academic/curricular clubs. We will dedicate some of our advisory periods to improve school-wide literacy. Teachers will create word walls that has common vocabulary as well as supplemental words that relate to their content areas. Teachers will instruct the students using these vocabulary words. During these reading advisory periods we will focus on school-wide literacy by reading from different scholarly articles. The articles will help improve vocabulary, fluency, and decoding skills. When needed we will purchase reading programs, academic articles, and reading software to provide additional support.

2022-2023

  • School Plan / Final Report
  • Funds received: $93,407.75
  • Funds used for: 1)We will hire two half-time math teachers. Math scores on Granite benchmarks show this is our greatest academic need to achieve our 2% growth goal. 2) Extra period math labs. We plan to use funds to provide 4 math lab sections for students needing additional support. 3) We plan to pay teachers for before and after school tutoring in math, science, English, and World Languages. 1) Use land trust funds to pay for reading classes for students that are currently reading at 1 or more grades below expected level. 2) We will offer before and after school tutoring and summer school. 3) Fund before and after school reading and writing clubs.
