As we end winter break, we are grateful to our families for establishing routines at home to ensure that our Eagles are getting to school each and every day! Daily routines are essential for reducing stress and creating a sense of security for students (and their parents, too)!

Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn and connect with peers and their teachers. These daily connections are invaluable for kids, both socially and academically.

Please take steps to keep your child healthy and send them to school unless they are truly sick. Attendance Works has put together a helpful list of tips to help keep your child healthy and in school.

We want to thank all our families, students, and staff for their continued support in increasing our daily attendance rate at Edison.

The staff and students of Edison Elementary would like to thank the Fraser School Board for all their time and efforts to ensure all of our students receive the best education possible.

Mr. Scott Wallace, President

Mr. Todd Koch , Vice President

Mrs. Robyn Norbeck, Treasurer

Mr. Dan Stawinski, Secretary

We are very excited to offer parents the opportunity to attend a two-hour training session in Restorative Practices with additional time for Q&A and dinner.

The program offers a look at the restorative practices theory and its application. It is a very dynamic, interactive training that focuses on creating relationships and building practical skills that use a relational approach for parents and caregivers.

If CHILD CARE IS NEEDED, arrangements can be made to have high school students earn service hours to help with this. Please let us know when you sign up if this would be helpful and the age(s) of your child(ren).

For more information, call Lisa Pettyes at 586-439-7542 or Kristina Madeleine at 586-439-7421. Or email us at Lisa.Pettyes@fraserk12.org, Kristina.Madeleine@fraserk12.org, or Luke.Woods@fraserk12.org.

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.

Please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the weather each day. Before we know it, students will start needing warm coats, gloves, hats, scarves, and/or boots daily throughout the fall/winter.

Please take time to label each and every item- because our lost and found gets bombarded with lost winter accessories throughout the season

Please note that, per Board Policy, we will be having outdoor morning lineup and heading outdoors for our 20 minute recess(es) if the windchill is 10+ degrees.

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

• 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, January 16 at 4:00PM in the Edison Media Center.
