Important Chromebook Reminder
Parents, please remind students to bring their Chromebooks, which are completely charged, to school every day! Chargers should remain at home so they don't get lost or stolen. Plug Chromebooks into chargers at night and let them charge overnight. They should be 100% charged in the morning. Bring the fully charged Chromebook to school (and again, leave chargers at home). Chromebooks should last the entire school day on a single charge. All Chromebooks and chargers will be returned to school before at the end of the school year.

8th Grade Celebration Day Chaperones Needed
We are looking for adults, parents, and guardians to chaperone the 8th grade Celebration Day to Wabun Picnic Area at Minnehaha Falls on Wednesday, June 4. We will have teachers spread throughout the area to monitor the students and to make sure that they don't walk off to areas they shouldn't be accessing. We will be asking that you supervise areas as well, and we will indicate those locations when we arrive at the park on Wednesday.
We will be leaving Edgewood at 9:45 am after the Talent Show. We will arrive at Wabun Picnic area at approximately 10:10 am. We will have lunch at the park, and then leave at 1:45 pm to return to Edgewood.
Due to the number of students attending and the need to bring school lunches along on the buses, we are asking that you please meet us at Wabun Picnic area (4655 46th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55406) rather than ride the bus with the students. Please let me know if this is an issue.
All chaperones must complete a background check each school year. If you already completed this process for the April field trips, you are good to go. If you have any questions or are interested in chaperoning, please email Gina Fosse (Gina.Fosse@moundsviewschools.org) with your name, your student's name, your email, and the best phone number to reach you. Thank you!
