We Hope to See You at Our Halloween Parade!
We are looking forward to tomorrow’s Halloween Parade! Our students will begin the afternoon with a festive sing-along led by Mrs. Randolph before showing off their creative costumes during our parade at 2:30 p.m. We hope to see many of you lining the parade route and cheering on our students! Families are invited to join us for the outdoor parade. Please take a moment to review this letter for important details about the parade, including costume reminders and procedures. We’re looking forward to a fun and festive afternoon!
Recapping Family Math Night
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Family Math Night with Shelley DuBose! Families had the opportunity to experience math through hands-on activities and learn more about how we think about mathematical mastery. A key takeaway was that while computation is important, true mathematical understanding also requires students to apply their learning, explain their thinking, and transfer their knowledge to new situations. The evening also provided families with greater insight into the ways our math instruction and assessments are designed to develop deep understanding and flexible thinking. For families who were unable to join us, we hope to continue sharing these important ideas throughout the year.
Classroom Spotlight - Ms. Seebold and Our Fifth-Grade Historians!
Our fifth graders have been busy thinking like geographers, archaeologists, and historians! Through engaging, inquiry-based learning, students explored early civilizations of the Americas, examining artifacts, analyzing resources, and making thoughtful predictions about how people lived and adapted to their environments. Students used evidence and prior knowledge to compare cultures and deepen their understanding of how geography shaped daily life. Now, they are building on these skills as they investigate the Olmec, Maya, Inca, and Aztec civilizations!
A big shout-out to Ms. Seebold for creating meaningful opportunities for students to think critically, ask questions, and learn through authentic historical inquiry!
Yoga at Greenville
Yoga is back at Greenville! Throughout the year, students will have opportunities to practice yoga, learn breathing techniques, and take a little time to slow down and reset. Thank you to our PTA for sponsoring this program and bringing yoga to our students!
Lunch Menu and New Options
The November lunch menu is now available. Beginning November 9, we will also offer à la carte items for students who wish to purchase additional food items. A list of available à la carte options can be found here. Families interested in making purchases can find directions for setting up a lunch account on the Edgemont Lunch webpage.
We Will Have an Evacuation Drill Next Week!
Next week, we will conduct another evacuation drill (formerly known as fire drills). You can learn more about the different types of drills on our safety pamphlet that you can find here and that is attached to this email.
Annual Greenville Turkey Trot!
On the morning of November 25, we will hold our annual Greenville Turkey Trot! Due to ongoing construction, this year's trot will take place in front of Greenville rather than on the field. Students will still have the opportunity to cheer on their fellow grades as everyone enjoys a short trot! Please remember to send your child with a water bottle. A special thank you to our PTA for providing pretzels for all of our trotters! The trot is a wonderful way to celebrate physical fitness, school spirit, and one another as we head into Thanksgiving break!
Board of Education Coffee & Conversations
Please join the Board of Education for Coffee & Conversations, an evening of discussion focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The event will feature a brief presentation by Divya Pathak, an Edgemont parent with extensive experience and knowledge in AI, followed by an opportunity to exchange ideas and perspectives with fellow community members and Board members.
These informal gatherings provide an opportunity to engage directly with Board members, hear different perspectives, and share questions and ideas about important topics affecting our community.
Date: Thursday, November 12, 2026
Time: 7:00-8:30 p.m.
