Week of November 2 to 6
As the weather changes, more students get sick, and we need to be able to reach you quickly. Please take two quick steps:
- Update your phone number in Aeries so we always have the right number on file.
- Make sure your student knows your number by heart. Many students don’t, and it’s one of the most important numbers they can know.
Need help with Aeries? Come to our next Family Workshop in Room 107 on Monday, November 16, 3:00–4:00 pm or Wednesday, November 18, 9:00–10:00 am. We’ll help you update your information there.
The Edendale Family Center and Eden Church invite families to our second workshop! Come to one of these sessions in Room 107 (main hallway, near the loop door):
- Monday, November 16, 3:00–4:00 pm
- Wednesday, November 18, 9:00–10:00 am
We’ll talk about the obstacles families face with money, how credit works, and how taking part in a tanda can help build your credit. Bring your questions — we look forward to seeing you!
