I wanted to share a personal update regarding my schedule for the next few weeks. Due to a need to help care for a family member who is recovering from a serious injury, I will be reducing my schedule temporarily. I will be out of the building for the bulk of each morning throughout the rest of February, but will return to Edison during the afternoons.

Please know that our school will be in excellent hands. We have a fabulous leadership team at Edison. Ms. Provost, our 21C/HEART teacher, will be serving as a Teacher-in-Charge in the office each morning. Ms. Provost’s Y5, KDG, & 4th-6th grade 21st Century courses, along with her 4th-6th grade HEART courses will be taught by Ms. Kimberly Duhaime, a long-time guest teacher in Fraser. Additionally, our other Teachers-in-Charge, Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Kapanka, will continue to help administratively, as their schedules allow.

I will remain actively involved in daily operations and will be available to support our students, staff, and families. I look forward to collaborating with Ms. Provost, along with Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Kapanka, in a new capacity during this time.

Our school community means so much to me and I am grateful for your support.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Wiegand

A group of 4th grade students are completing a Marathon Project for Social Studies Olympiad. For this project, they've planned events to raise money for the purchase of toys and supplies for patients at Children's Hospital of Michigan.

This week, they've planned the following events:

We're so excited to formally invite our 1st-3rd grade families to this year’s “Spring” Vocal Music Concert, What a Colorful World!

All family and friends are welcome to join us at the Fraser High School Auditorium to enjoy lovely music presented by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grade on Monday, February 24th, 2025. Admission is free.

Students are expected to be at Fraser High School at 6:30pm to warm-up for our concert at 7:00pm.

Concert attire:

1st Grade: Color Red

2nd Grade: Color Yellow

3rd Grade: Color Blue

Students may dress in the color associated with their grade level. Students should follow the school dress code for their outfit choice.

On the morning of the concert, students will be bussed to the Fraser High School Auditorium to practice for our concert at 9:15am and arrive back to Edison Elementary around 10:45am.

Please make sure to fill out the permission slip linked below (and given to your student) to ensure all students can practice with us the morning of the concert. Return by Monday, February 10th.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact our music teacher, Mrs. Esquible.

The snow has arrived, which is great fun for the kids at recess! This means students will need proper snow gear at recess. Please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the weather and with boots and snow pants each day.

In addition, please take time to label each and every item to help keep our lost and found to a minimum. All items that have a name on them will be returned the same day they are lost.

Please note that, per Board Policy, we will be having outdoor morning lineup and heading outdoors for our 25 minute recess(es) if the windchill is 10+ degrees.

Time outdoors is time well spent for kids, in all seasons

It's already time to place your child's yearbook order! Yearbooks start at $14.50 and can be purchased using the link below. All orders are due by April 26, 2025!

Yearbooks will be distributed at the end of the school year and we will not have extras available for purchase.

To Order- Go to YBPAY.com and use school code 12880925 or use the link below.

• Please adhere to our 5mph speed limit in our parking lot. We've recently received several reports of cars driving too fast in the parking lot at arrival/dismissal time. Please drive slowly and use caution!

• We do not have crossing guards for our parking lot. Our Y5-2 students must be accompanied by an adult through the parking lot. However, it is highly recommended that all parents park their cars and walk up to retrieve their students to escort them through the lot at dismissal time.

• Unfortunately, we don’t have a “bus loop” at Edison, which also limits our ability for a curbside drop off/pick up lane. Our transportation department needs us to stop stopping/parking/idling in the areas marked with a red 'x' (essentially, every turn/curve of the lot) because the busses cannot get through.

• Please park in a designated parking spot at arrival and dismissal, while you wait to drop off/pick up your children.

• All Y5-2nd grade students must be picked up by an adult at their doors.

• 3rd-6th grade students are dismissed out their doors and may navigate the parking lot as their parents see fit. Please note, our staff does our best to help kids cross when possible, but we do not have designated crossing guards in our lot. The safest option will always be for parents to park, walk up, drop off/retreive their child(ren), and navigate the lot with their child(ren).

• At dismissal time, please don’t sit idle in driving lane while waiting for your student.

This year, our PTO will be led by the following officers. As always, we're so appreciative of the parents that take time out of their lives to enrich ours! Please consider joining forces with the amazing moms below to help make Edison a happier place!

• President: Sarah Moaut
• Vice President: Lisa Heckman
• Treasurer: Cierra Prophit
• Secretary: Melissa Loder

Our next PTO Meeting will take place on Thursday, February 27 at 12:30PM in the Edison Media Center.
