Books for Bikes
The Edwardsburg St. Peters Masonic Lodge and Circle Federal Credit Union have once again sponsored the Books for Bikes contest to promote reading at Eagle Lake Elementary. Over the past thirteen years, the lodge has generously donated over 120 bicycles. We are fortunate that Edwardsburg Public Schools benefits from teachers, parents, and community leaders who recognize the value of reading and its positive impact on education!
Book Nook
This week, third grade students practiced map reading skills and logical thinking to solve breakout room problems. We will finish solving the puzzle next week.
Speaking of maps, did you know that the public library has a Michigan Activity Pass that you can use for discounts or free admission at attractions around the state? Check out the MAP website to learn more about this fun program courtesy of your local library!
Happy exploring!

Have a great weekend!

Transportation Information Request
The Edwardsburg Transportation Department is beginning to organize for bus routes for the
2024-2025 school year. To prepare bus schedules, they need to know if your child(ren) will be riding the bus to and/or from school, as well as the pick-up and/or drop off locations. Please click the link below to complete a Transportation Request Form for every school-aged child in the household.
PLEASE SUBMIT THIS FORM EVEN IF YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE RIDING A BUS.
Moving?
If your family is planning to move to a new home over the summer, please provide a written notice about the changes. There are school files and other documents that will need to be prepared as well as modifying classroom enrollment.
Please remember to return your child’s Chromebook and any other school materials prior to your move. Chromebooks may be returned to Eagle Lake Elementary (until June 26) or the Administration building Mondays through Thursdays during the summer months.
STUDENT CHROMEBOOK & SUMMER
Students will be keeping their Chromebooks over the summer months. We encourage them to utilize the educational resources available to them throughout the summer.
Use the Clever portal to access the computer based learning programs
used during the school year.
Edwardsburg Public Schools has implemented several measures to ensure Internet safety for students using Chromebooks. However, these precautions are not foolproof. It is important for parents to continue monitoring their child’s Chromebook use during the summer months.
Summer Sports Camps
NOTE - UPDATED FORMS AND DATES
Information about 2024 Summer Sports Camps has been released by Athletic Director, Jon Pobuda. CLICK HERE for UPDATED registration forms outlining dates and details. All fees should be submitted with registration forms.
Attendance
Student attendance has a tremendous impact on learning. Regular attendance is key to academic success and developing positive social and emotional experiences. Social and emotional learning includes developing the ability to work with others and solve problems peacefully—skills crucial to succeeding in the classroom and beyond.
Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing ten percent or more of the school year. Missing two or more days per month—for any reason - puts your child at risk of being chronically absent. The daily classroom activities such as teacher led instruction, active engagement with curriculum, and peer-to-peer conversations cannot be replicated or replaced by make-up work. Students who are chronically absent have a difficult time keeping up with their peers academically and socially—putting them at risk for failure.
As you begin planning family activities for the coming year, please avoid scheduling vacations while school is in session. We appreciate your commitment to making sure your child is at school and on time every day. Regular school attendance is one of the most powerful ways you can prepare your child for success—both in school and in life
