Ensuring the safety of students during arrival and dismissal times is of utmost importance at Edwardsburg Public Schools. The Primary and Intermediate Schools share locations for both bus riders and car riders, so it is important for all families adhere to our procedures in order to ensure the safety for everyone.
All K-3 students receive car tags for the vehicle and their backpack when they first enroll at EPS. Please use the zip tie to attach the small car to your child's backpack. The larger tag should be displayed in the front window of your vehicle. Our staff uses an automated system for dismissal and the car tag number is used for dismissing the student from our cafeteria to the driveline. Additional car tags may be purchased at the office for $5.
For the safety of our students, please have children exit the vehicle on the passenger side only. The driver side will have moving traffic and it is not safe for children to exit on this side.
As a staff, we appreciate your patience during the first month of school. For many children, Kindergarten is their first time in a school environment, and it takes time to learn the routines for arrival and dismissal. Our team periodically reviews the traffic patterns and if changes are necessary to our procedures, all families will receive notification.
