Edgewood students are expected to be on time to each of their classes. Passing time is 4 minutes. Music plays over the PA system during the last minute of passing time to help students arrive on time. Arriving on time means that students are ready to engage in their learning activities and are not disrupting the beginning of class. Students that arrive late to class one or more times per day each week will be assigned to lunch detention the following Tuesday. If you have any questions, please reach out to associate principal Haas at stacey.haas@mvpschools.org or 651-621-6630.
