Principal's Message

Hello EW Families!

Back when I was a classroom teacher, despite the fact that they were long days, fall conferences were one of my favorite times. By the time they happened I had already built relationships with my students and meeting their family members always gave me a little bit more insight into who they were as people. We know and understand them as students, but you know them in every other way. Connecting and sharing what we know and what you know about our kiddos ensures that all of our students are learning at high levels. We sincerely appreciate the strong partnership we have with families here at EW.Their success depends on all of us working together. Please continue to keep lines of communication open!

Thank you!

Kris Russell

Extra Clothes

We try to have extra clothes for students who spill or have accidents, but cannot have every student's size. If your child is one who may have accidents please try to leave a change of clothes in their backpack. Kindergarten parents please make sure that your student has extra clothes at school at all times. If your child has a spill or an accident and they borrow clothes from Edgewood please send them back. We go through a lot of clothes each year.

We are in need of boys underwear and pants.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Appointments

Please make sure to inform the school office if your student will be picked up for appointments during school hours. If you need to pick up your child for an appointment near the end of the day, please remember that we need students picked up by 2:45 so that the circle driveway is clear for buses and families with special accommodations.

Office

Communication

The most efficient way to inform the office of a change in plans is through a phone call or email (Dojo is not checked as frequently). We are also not able to print out attached pictures from ClassDojo. If needed please email Lindsay Packer or Kim Schoen. (emails above)
