Our Kids Club Halloween Dance is coming up this Friday, October 30, from 3:00–5:00 PM! Tickets are $5 each and will be available for purchase in the library each morning before 1st period. Concessions will also be available for purchase during the dance, with all items priced between $1 and $2, so students may want to bring a little extra money.
One of our goals for this dance is to give students an opportunity to have fun, spend time with friends, and interact with one another without the distractions of technology. With that in mind, students will not be permitted to have or use cell phones during the dance. We want to encourage students to be present, socialize, and enjoy the activities together.
Phones, iPads, and other personal belongings will be secured in students' lockers, as they normally are during the school day. These items will remain in their lockers throughout the dance, and students will have an opportunity to retrieve their belongings at the end of the event before being picked up.
We understand that parents may need to reach their students during the event. If you need to contact your child, please call the school at 812-967-5000, and a staff member will be available to answer the phone and assist you.
We are looking forward to a fun afternoon for our students! Thank you for helping us make this a positive experience for everyone!
Friday is also an asynchronous E-Learning Day. Students will not report to school and will complete their assigned work from home.
Families can still preorder pictures online at mylifetouch.com using Picture Day ID: EVTHS8HR7. If you placed your order online, there’s nothing you need to send to school.
If you’re ordering with a picture envelope, please complete the envelope and seal a check or the exact cash amount inside. Students should bring the completed envelope with them to school tomorrow.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s smiles!
Reminder for our 8th-grade parents. There is an informational meeting this Wednesday (Aug. 26th) for our Washington, D.C., trip. This meeting is intended for families who have not yet signed up and would like more information about the trip. The meeting starts at 6 pm in the MES Hall. Please enter the building through Door 20.
We're excited to see the kids at tonight's spring dance! Please click the link to access the drop-off and pick-up map for tonight. We’re taking a page from the Chick-fil-A drive-thru playbook—fast, friendly, and smoother than a 6th grader's dance moves (we hope)! Drop off starts at 6:00, and pick up is at 8:00.
It’s time for one last push with the PTO Dominos fundraiser for May Blast! Text this to family and friends:
Dear Family & Friends,
Please support East Washington MS PTO and grab your Domino’s Slice the Price Card before our fundraiser ends!
You’ll save money on Domino’s Pizza through 12/31/26 and help our PTO raise funds towards May Blast.
You may have already heard from us, but we didn’t want you to miss out. This is your final reminder to support us! https://store.dominos.cards/53090
Thank you so much!
Parents & Families,
The PTO is excited to announce that today we are starting the Domino’s Pizza Fundraiser. The money raised will go towards May Blast at the end.
Let’s begin by checking out your school’s dashboard: https://dash.dominos.cards/53090
Scroll down to the section “Register to Pick Your Prize” or use this link: https://register.dominos.cards/53090. Once you register, your child will be able to pick their prize and share their very own store link! Once the fundraiser is complete, they will receive the prize they selected from the highest level they qualify for.
After registering, share your child’s link via email, text, and social media! When a customer clicks on your link, it will take them directly to your child’s store to purchase a card, and we will send the card directly to them. Using your personalized link will ensure your child is given credit for the purchase.
Also, once you register you will have two chances to earn a $50 gift card! The registered student with the most cards sold by 3/10/2026 at 11:59 p.m. EST will win a $50 Gift Card (when our group sells at least 100 cards online).
For questions, please call the hotline number: 866-252-6103
Thank you for participating and supporting our school!

Thank you for continuing to pour into our students. We couldn’t do this without you! 💜💛
I'm so grateful to our students, parents, and teachers! Thank you all for gracefully "weathering" the temps, snow, and technology! (This does not affect high school students, as the Chromebooks appear to have worked beautifully.)
