Dear Everman ISD Parents,
As we enter into the third six weeks, it's amazing how fast the days are passing by. The holidays will be here before you can blink an eye. Teachers and students are continuously working to achieve success.
As you know, one of our goals is to continue to increase parental support. Although, the numbers have continued to rise, I would like to see even more parental support. I am challenging each of you to go out and recruit more parents to become involved in our schools. Please know that it takes a partnership between parents, teachers, administrators and the community to ensure that each child is receiving the best education possible.
Upon graduation, EISD students will be college and career ready and prepared to compete in a global society. This is imperative because we are preparing students for jobs that currently do not exist. Due to the world of technology, several occupations that exist today will soon fade away. Therefore, we should teach students to become critical thinkers to be prepared for the future job market. Students need to become the innovators, inventors, and creators as each look for ways to contribute in society. I am proud of our students and their efforts. We as educators will continue to challenge their minds, encourage them to dream big while creating learning environments that will take them to the next level.
Sincerely,
Curtis Amos

New Story: 2016-2017 Change in Volleyball, Soccer, and Basketball
As part of the Sunset Review process initiated by the Texas Legislature, the UIL convened a Review Advisory Committee as well as Contest Rules Committees for each of our competition divisions in Academics, Athletics, and Music.
One of the proposals recommended by the Athletic Contest Rules Committee, and approved by the UIL Legislative Council in October, relates to adjusting seasons of volleyball, basketball and soccer to allow school administrators to determine whether to conduct Regional Tournaments in those activities (volleyball, basketball, and soccer).
As the effective date for this rule change is
August 1, 2016, this change will not impact the volleyball season for the 2016-17 school year as the calendar for 2016 would put the start date of volleyball in July (prior to the effective date). As such, even if the rule is approved by the Commissioner of Education as required by law, it would not have any impact on the dates currently listed in the tentative UIL calendar for the 2016-17 school year for volleyball.
Practice for volleyball will still begin on the first Monday in August (August 1, 2016); scrimmages could begin on August 5; and matches could begin August 8, 2016.
If approved by the Commissioner as mentioned above, the rule change will have an impact on both
basketball and soccer schedules for the 2016-17 school year. UIL will release more information related to this rule change upon approval by the Commissioner of Education.
