We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school this week! Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. Our Family Liaison, Mrs. Hanlon, is also available and able to assist students experiencing transition difficulties. We hope to see you at Meet-the-Teacher!

We hope to see you Monday afternoon/evening for Meet-the-Teacher & Supply Drop Off. Third grade parents should have received a separate email regarding a Third Grade Reading Guarantee meeting from 4:45 pm - 5:00 pm. Kindergarten families will drop off supplies and meet their teacher at the individual parent meetings this week.

Arrival & Dismissal Information: (We truly appreciate your cooperation in order to make arrival & dismissal safe for our students and staff.)

Car & Walker Arrival:

• Students arriving to school by car may be dropped off between 8:25 am and 8:45 am in our front loop. Please do not drop students off until you see a staff member OUTSIDE the building to greet and supervise them.

• Please pull all the way forward to the car in front of you to maximize drop-off space.

• In order to keep the car line moving, it is important that you remain in your car and have your child ready to exit from the passenger side of the car. Staff is available to help students as needed.

• Students will be directed to exit the car once they are in the “blue unloading zone”.

• For safety purposes, parents are not able to park in our lot and walk students into school in the mornings. If you are driving your child to school, please use the car line.

• Parents who walk their kids to school are asked to say goodbye when they get to the sign that indicates “students only beyond this point”.

Dismissal:

• Please make sure the teacher is aware of your child's regular school dismissal plans. Changes in dismissal plans should be communicated by emailing edisonoffice@weschools.org by 1:00 pm on the date of the change. This ensures that our secretaries have time to relay the message to the teacher/student(s).

• If you will be picking up your child in the car line, please fill out this CAR TAG REQUEST FORM. We will pass out car tags during Meet-the-Teacher (and have them for Kindergarten families during Kindergarten appointments next week). Car tags should be clearly displayed in the front windshield as you enter Edison’s driveway.

• If your child has permission to walk or ride a bike home, please fill out this WALKER TAG REQUEST FORM

• Note: Students in grades K-2 are not permitted to walk home without being accompanied by an older sibling or a parent that will walk up to the sign out front (we will match walker tags).

• The car line will start moving around 2:40 pm and students should be picked up by 2:55 pm. If you don’t like waiting in line, it’s best to arrive around 2:50 pm! By then, the line is moving.

If you believe your child is experiencing challenges in terms of their mental well-being, it is important to reach out to your principal. To meet your child’s needs, it’s essential to collaborate with the principal and school personnel to explore resources and services available at school. In addition to Crossroads Counselors, the District also has family liaisons and guidance counselors who can provide needed interventions and support.
