Message From The Counselors
Hello Edendale Families,
As we enter the fourth and final quarter of the school year, it’s a great time for students to stay focused and finish strong! With a fresh start to their grades, we encourage students to stay on top of assignments and reach out for support when needed.
Last week, our 8th-grade scholars were inspired by a presentation from our district TSA representative, Bronwyn LaMay, about A-G requirements and college and career readiness. They are excited for the journey ahead as they prepare for high school!
To support students in staying on track, Edendale offers after-school tutoring every day except Monday. This is a great opportunity to catch up, get ahead, or reinforce learning. If your student needs assistance, we encourage them to take advantage of this valuable resource.
As always, the counseling team is here to support students in both their academic and personal success. Let’s make this final quarter a great one!
Warmly,
Ms. Herrejon & Ms. Adams
All students are welcome. No sign up needed.
Additional assistance for students in ELD 1 or ELD 2.
🍕🍕Attendance Update🥳🎉
The results for week 2 are in and sixth grade students are still in the lead. Great job getting to class on time! Families please remember to call the attendance line 510-317-5199 and leave a message for Ms. Johnson in English or Spanish if your student is sick or has an appointment.
