Kindergarten Orientation is our way of gradually welcoming our new Kinder-Eddies to the Primary. Kindergarten students, along with their parents, should attend their orientation session based upon the schedule below on September 5, 2022. It is best to leave younger siblings at home for the orientation time.

9:00 - 10:00 Multi-age Kindergarten (K. Clark, L. Clark, G. Green, K. Smith)

10:30 - 11:30 Looping Kindergarten (Blume, Holmes)

1:00 - 2:00 All Day Kindergarten (Henderson, Randall, Mahoney)

The EPS Transportation department has a great responsibility ensuring the safety of children who ride our buses. Last minute changes to a student’s transportation schedule increases the chance that a child may not end up going to the proper and intended location. Last minute changes are highly discouraged!

Any change to a child’s normal dismissal routine add a great deal of responsibility to the office staff, teachers, and drivers and result in unnecessary interruptions to classroom instruction. Please send a note to your child’s teacher or call the school office before 2:30 p.m. when a change is necessary. Change requests after 2:30 p.m. may not be honored. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Here Comes the Bus is an easy-to-use website and app (available at the APP Store and Google Play) that enables you to see the location of your child's school bus on a smartphone, tablet or personal computer. This way, you know when the bus is near your stop, so you can send your child out at the right time, or you can be ready for them to get off the bus. Here's how to sign up:

1. You MUST have your child's student ID # to enroll, if you do not have this information, please contact the building they attend before downloading the app.
2. Download the Here Comes the Bus app or visit herecomesthebus.com
3. Click the SIGNUP Button
4. Enter school code 87338 and click "Next" followed by "Confirm"
5. Complete the "User Profile" box
6. Under "My Students," click "Add". Enter your child's last name and student ID number.
7. Once you confirm your information, you're ready to begin using Here Comes the Bus!

If your child requires medication during the school day, a written order from a physician, as well as a parent signature, is required in order for school staff to administer it. Since district policy prohibits students from carrying medications, all medication must be dropped off by an adult. Please make a point to drop off all student medications and accompanying paperwork before September 1. Doing this prior to the first day of school will help relieve congestion at the front door and ensure our health aides are prepared for your child’s needs. If you have other questions, please feel free to email our district nurse, Michaela Settle at msettle@goeddies.com or our building health aide, Kellie Moser at kmoser@goeddies.com.

As we work to ensure a safe and healthy school community, we ask that visitors please remain in the vestibule between the two sets of doors at our main entrance and use the buzzer/intercom system to communicate with the front office for assistance.

All volunteers must have a background check completed annually. If you would like to volunteer, please complete the attached volunteer form and submit it along with a picture of your driver's license or state ID.

Please understand that we do not have volunteers in the classrooms during the first few weeks of September. Our teachers need this time with their students to establish classroom routines and expectations. Volunteer schedules will come directly from the Teacher. Our teachers will reach out when they are ready for assistance in the classroom.

Edwardsburg Primary is home to our district's Kindergarten and 1st Grade Students. Located in the village of Edwardsburg, Michigan, we offer classes that are traditional, gender specific, looping and multi-age. There is something for everyone at Edwardsburg Primary.
