Lost & Found Reminder
This is a friendly reminder to please check the lost & found for any missing items by the end of day on Friday, June 6. If you are missing smaller items, such as house keys, jewelry, dental retainers, etc., we have a collection in the office! All items will be discarded or donated next week.
Please Update Your Student's Information for 2024-25 School Year!
Parents, to ensure we have all information needed for the upcoming 2024-25 school year, please log into your ParentVUE account and complete the Online Data Verification for your student/s. This needs to be done prior to getting your student’s fall schedule at the Welcome Back Event. Doing the online registration beforehand will save you much time from having to stand in line to complete it that evening.
To complete the process, log into ParentVUE and click on the "Online Data Verification" button in the upper right-hand corner. Be sure your contact information is correct, current address (please attach proof of residence if you have a new address or you are new to Edgewood), and you have emergency contacts listed for your student. If you do not have a ParentVUE account set up, please contact Shannon at Shannon.mildenberger@mvpschools.org for an activation code. Thank you for your help in this matter!
PLEASE NOTE: This process needs to be done each school year.
