News to Share

Our parents are a vital part of our ability to spread the word about all the great things Evansville Day School is doing. We need your help to be ambassadors for our school! Each week, we will share an item of interest, and we invite you to take a few seconds to share it through social media.

"Technology provides incredible opportunities for young people to learn, connect, create and collaborate in ways never before imagined. But with great power comes great responsibility, and kids need to be empowered to use technology safely, responsibly and effectively to avoid pitfalls."
