A Note From The Principal
Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year!
Although the end of summer, and the hustle and bustle of the school year looming, presents our students and families with a wide array of emotions, I'm hopeful that this note finds you all well-rested, in good health, and in high spirits for the upcoming year.
On behalf of the Edison staff, we're thrilled to extend a warm welcome to all of our Eagles and families, both new and returning! We're excited to begin this journey together and are honored to partner with you throughout the year to establish a learning community where our Eagles flourish. Our dedicated staff has worked diligently over the summer to plan lessons, prepare classrooms, and ensure we are ready for the start of the new school year. The building looks wonderful and we are eager for our Eagles to fill our hallways with anticipation, our classrooms with curiosity, and our hearts with love!
It's a privilege to serve as your principal and I am very much looking forward to continuing to work collaboratively to ensure your child's success!
See you soon!
Hugs,
Mrs. Wiegand
Meet The Teacher Night- Wednesday, August 21
Class Placement Information
Staff has given careful consideration to each child’s placement for the 24-25 school year. By doing so we have created classrooms that are balanced both academically and socially to help ensure each child’s success. Student placement letters will be emailed to families on the afternoon of August 21st.
If you have changed your email address or moved over the summer, please contact our office ASAP so we can ensure we have the correct contact information on file.

Does Your Child Have Medical Needs?
If your child has specific medical needs, please reach out to the main office prior to the start of school. In order to administer medication, consent forms must be completed. Consent forms for prescription medications must include dosage and frequency information signed by a physician. Medication, including inhalers, must be stored in the main office and not in backpacks or pockets.
In addition, if your child has a food allergy or medical condition that could potentially require treatment at school, we will need an updated 2024-25 medical plan signed by a physician.

The first day of school will be on Monday, August 26th.

Find Your Child's Bus Stop Online
Bus stop information will be available online for the 2024–2025 school year starting August 19th. You can access your child’s bus stop information by visiting www.fraser.k12.mi.us. Click on the "Bus Stops" link and enter your address to retrieve your child’s bus stop information.
It is very important to check your child’s bus stop, as routes have been modified for the 2024–2025 school year.
Students will be assigned a route number in lieu of a bus number. The route number is located on the left side of the entry door. To ensure transportation, all students must be at their bus stop 10 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival time.
Please review with your child the bus rules found on the Transportation Department’s website.

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
Free and Reduced Meals
The State of Michigan will provide a free breakfast and lunch for all students who want them throughout the 2024-2025 school year. Although not required, we do ask that families complete the Education Benefit Form located HERE. By doing so you help ensure the school receives additional funding.
