The 929

We’re excited to announce a 6th grade Ice Cream Social, sponsored by the PTO, immediately following the 6th Grade Eagle Days. The ice cream truck will be available for all 6th grade students from 12:00-1:00 PM. Please ensure your student attends with an adult for supervision reasons. Thank you!

We are excited to invite you to our Back to School Open House at Edgewood from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.! This event is a wonderful opportunity to kick off the school year and for parents and guardians to meet their students' teachers. We will provide more details soon, but in the meantime, please save the date!

For all things related to "Back to School," please visit our Back to School Hub website. We will continue to update the Hub and communicate through The 929. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to reach out to an Edgewood administrator.

Please note there have been adjustments made to our technology procedures in District 112. Please review the following information for updates:

• Two iPad breaks are covered by AppleCare per school year from Aug 1 to July 31.

• The 3rd break in the same school year will be charged at full replacement price: $583. Lost/Stolen iPads will also be charged at full replacement price.

• Lost/Damaged Logitech Crayons will be $25.

• Logitech Crayons will be repaired at a lower cost, if possible.

• Lost/Damaged keyboards will be $120.

• Lost/Damaged chargers will be $28 for cable and brick or $19 each.

• Lost iPads are $687.95 (ipad+case+crayon) to replace. The technology department requests the family files a police report and provide a police report number.

Fee will be paid through https://www.one2onerisk.com

Schedules will be released on August 9th at noon. Parents should receive an email from the district that will provide directions for how to access the schedule in the "portal" on Infinite Campus.

Update: Please note that any schedules you may have seen on Clever/OTUS are not final. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate class changes or schedule requests at this time. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

This school year, I aim to increase family engagement by starting a Family Advisory Committee to boost parent involvement and create a more favorable environment for Edgewood. This committee will focus on creating goals based on the family engagement survey from HumanEx and the 5 Essentials survey. If you are interested in volunteering please fill out this form to get future communications from me after school begins.

You will notice that while we have three Associate Principals for the 2024-2025 school year we have moved away from having "grade level" associate principals and will be following a different model. For instance, our associate principals will split an alphabetical list of students to oversee 504s and behavior. We will also have one associate principal handling most IEPs. Please read about our new APs here. Mrs. Keri Williams will return for her second year. Please stay tuned closer to the start of the year and at Open House to learn more about the APs roles and responsibilities.

Edgewood also has many new staff members this school year. Please help me warmly welcome the following new Eagles!

Please click here to read about the arrival and dismissal procedures for Edgewood (same as last year for any returning parents).

Starting this year, we will have a single, consistent daily schedule and will no longer have "Eagle Days," "Block Days," or similar variations! Please review the new Daily Bell Schedule and Early Release Bell Schedule for Edgewood. You will also see something abbreviated as SSB in the schedule. This stands for “Student Support Block,” a new addition at Edgewood that will occur each day. It will serve as each student's "homeroom" or "advisory" period for the year.

At Edgewood, we offer a wide range of clubs, sports, and after-school activities for students. It's important for students to engage in these extracurricular activities, as they provide valuable opportunities for personal growth, teamwork, and skill development beyond the regular classroom experience. Stay tuned for future communications and links about the exciting opportunities available for your student to get involved and make the most of their time at school!

For students riding the bus, bus information will be sent by mail a week before school or listed in IC under Transportation. If you have questions, please contact the Transportation office at 224-765-3011.

Our late bus service will start on August 27, 2024. These services will be for all students.
