Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year! I’m looking forward to another great year here at Evans. As we begin this school year, I am pleased with the progress our students made on the state assessment (CAASPP) this past spring.   Our overall scores in English Language Arts grew slightly, while our students showed good improvement in Math.   Student scores at Evans continue to be above state, county, and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math.  This is a testament to your support and the outstanding teaching staff we have at our school.  As I have stated many times, the Garden Grove Unified School District and Evans Elementary in particular, have some of the finest and most highly trained teachers in the state of California.  I’m confident that under their guidance, your students will continue to thrive.

This year, we will continue our implementation of PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support).  Last year, we were recognized with the Silver Award for our successful implementation of PBIS.  We will continue to use this model in order to promote good student behavior and a positive school climate. PBIS places an emphasis on classroom management and preventative school discipline.  It promotes a positive school climate where expectations for students are taught and modeled throughout the year.  We will also continue to have several fun and exciting incentives for students who meet the expectations and follow the rules!

The first day of school is August 12th from 8:00 AM – 2:25 PM.  Please contact the office if you have any questions.  Thank you for all of your support and for your help in making Evans such a special place for children to learn and grow.
