A considerable amount of work is put forth to place students in classrooms. We will not make class assignment changes . We ask that all students and teachers are given the opportunity to work together to create a positive learning environment. The first six weeks of school allow for this learning environment to be secured.

Parent Portal Log In Information
The Parent Portal allows parents/guardians to view grades, transportation information and update select contact information in one convenient location. Through the Portal, parents/guardians can also add funds to their child's lunch account, access the online version of the free/reduced priced lunch forms and access FeePay (payment system for school activities). Here are some tutorials on how to access the portal, which are also available at www.edenpr.org/parent-resources.

Accessing the Parent Portal
New families should receive an email with login details a few days after completing the registration process. If you have not received this email, please contact the Parent Help Line at 952-975-7094.

Please make sure that your address, e-mails, telephone numbers and emergency contact information is correct when you log into the Parent Portal. This is important for our communication from Cedar Ridge. If you need to make changes, please contact the Cedar Ridge Office at 952.975.7800.

If there is a concern with custody of your child, please make sure that the paperwork is filed in the office with Mr. Epping.

Parent Volunteers Needed
The PTO will be using Parent Volunteers for the first week of school to help with morning bussing and lunch. Please visit the Sign Up Genius to sign up for a slot to volunteer. All volunteers should check in at the main office and ask for Kelly Derouin.  Parent Sign Up for Volunteering

The PTO will also be providing a Staff Welcome Back Luncheon on Wednesday, August 30th. This is a great time that we celebrate all of the hard work and dedication of our teachers and staff.

Headphones Needed
The School Supply list can be found on the Cedar Ridge Website under the dropdown for "Families". Please do not purchase backpacks with wheels as they do not fit in the lockers.

It is important that all students have headphones for the school year as we have iPads for every child. It is also best to mark your child's headphones with their name.

Cedar Ridge Lunch Visits
Just a reminder that during the first week of school we ask that parents do not attend lunch. This is a time that we are trying to establish routines for the students. It also allows students to interact with their classmates in a social setting. Thank you for understanding. If there is a unique situation, please contact Mr. Epping.
