Behavior Matrix
As our Kindergarten and 1st Grade students are learning the expectations of the school year, there are often conflicts that occur, especially on the playground. Rarely are these conflicts bullying, but bullying has become the catch phrase in our society that is often used. We are working with our students to teach them skills that will be used to resolve their issues.
For your information as a parent, I have a matrix that defines the difference between conflict, rude, mean and bullying behaviors.
Morning Drop Off
Our playground is supervised starting at 8:05AM. Please do not drop your child off or have them exit your vehicle before there are adults present on our playground. This is for the safety of your child(ren).
Label Everything
Our lost and found is full! If you see something that might be your child's, contact the office or send your child down to check for it. I have checked them all for names, and unfortunately, nothing is labeled.

Halloween
Edwardsburg has a long standing custom of not having Halloween parties. This year, the K-3 buildings are going to try to have costume parties. However, we are placing some pretty strict guidelines on costumes for two reasons: 1) we need to protect the innocence of our young students and 2) what might not be scary for some students, may be terrifying for others.
Party information will come from individual classrooms.
When picking out a costume for your child, please follow the following guidelines:
- All costumes are to be appropriate for school and should not be offensive in design or intent.
- Costumes cannot feature inappropriate themes or characters or reference drugs/alcohol etc.
- Props including plastic swords, guns, wands, bows, arrows, etc. are not permitted. If brought to school, these items will be held in the office until a parent/guardian can pick them up.
- Please avoid costumes that are overly scary, including any variance of a clown costume.
- Face painting and hair coloring should be done at home.
- No "blood"
We would really like this to be a fun event for our students, so please help us make it fun for everyone by adhering to our costume requests.
