Our First Annual Eaglefest- Thursday, May 15
Field Day- Parent Volunteers Needed
Sign Up Below To Help On Monday, June 2nd
Our annual Field Day is just around the corner!
This exciting event is packed with fun, friendship, and friendly competition. Students, teachers, and staff come together to celebrate teamwork, sportsmanship, and school spirit through a variety of engaging games and challenges.
To help make this day a success and create lasting memories for our students, we’re looking for parent volunteers to assist during our AM and PM Field Day sessions. If you're willing and able to lend a hand, please sign up below. Please direct any questions to our PE teacher, Mr. Mette.
Please note: All volunteers must have a background check on file for this school year. If you haven't yet completed one, please visit or contact the office to get started.
In an effort to maintain the safest environment possible for our students, we are not able to accommodate parent/family spectators. Only approved volunteers will be permitted on site during the event.
Thank you in advance for contributing to the positive energy and spirit that make our school community so special.
Let the games begin!
Periodic Outdoor Lunches
As Weather Permits
Periodically, as weather permits, between now and the end of the school year, we hope to be able to allow students to eat their lunches outside.
As such, students may want to keep a towel handy in their backpacks to utilize on these days.
Special Accommodations for 25-26 Classroom Assignment
If your child has a "special/unique" academic or social/emotional concern and you feel the need to provide information to school personnel regarding regarding your child's placement for next year, this form MUST be submitted by Monday, May 19th.
We will be unable to accept parent input after this date.
Due to the many variables and requirements that have become part of the classroom assignment process, requesting specific teachers is not a viable option.
Edison Spring BBQ- Thursday, May 29
Bring Blanket/Towel To Sit On
On Thursday, May 29, we'll be having our annual spring bbq, a picnic style lunch, at Edison. A BBQ hot dog lunch will be served or students may choose to bring their own lunch. Students can bring a blanket or towel to sit on.
This is always a fun, welcomed change in routine for our students!

Parking Lot Reminders
Please Do Not Park/Idle/Stop in Marked Areas
- 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.

A Few School Policies & Procedures To Make Note Of:
Attendance
Your child's lifelong school/work attendance habits are being deeply established right now. Parents should make every effort to get their child to school by 8:30AM each day and allow them to stay for the full duration of every day. Excessive absences, tardies, and early dismissals hugely impact a child's confidence, social interactions, and school performance.
Birthday Treats
Birthday students may bring store-bought, individually wrapped treats/snacks or trinkets to distribute to their classmates to be taken home. Please do not send in a tray of cupcakes, homemade baked goods, pizza, etc intending for them to be consumed at school- as many students have dietary restrictions that need to be closely monitored by their parents & school staff. All treats/trinkets will be sent home with students.
Cell Phones
Hot Food Deliveries
Please do not plan to drop off "hot lunches" for your child at lunch time. This includes parents/family members dropping off fast food and/or Door Dashing food for their children. It is very logistically challenging to ensure that your child receives the food delivery on time and often results in students spending much of their lunch period awaiting a delivery.
