Week of September 21 to 25
Coming to school regularly helps students learn more, stay connected with friends, and feel successful. We’re excited to build a culture of attendance together—every month and every day, all year long! If your student needs to miss school for any reason (illness, appointment, etc) please call Ms. Johnson at 510-317-5199 and leave a message in English or Spanish.
This school year, Edendale teachers and staff will be using ParentSquare as our primary tool for school and classroom communication. To stay up to date on announcements, event reminders, and messages from your student's teacher, please download the ParentSquare app on your phone. For more details on getting started, click on the image to visit the district's ParentSquare information page.
We want to see more families biking to Edendale! Join us for a free BikeMobile event on October 14th, 12:30–3:00, at the front of the school. Mechanics will offer free tune-ups and repairs for flat tires, brakes, gears, and worn parts like chains, seats, and tires while showing you how to keep your bike running smoothly. Everyone is welcome, even without a bike, to learn about maintenance and safety. Space is limited to 20 people, first come, first served. See you there!
