On Thursday Kindergarten will start with breakfast and 1st grade will start in the classrooms.  
Kindergarten - The kindergarten grandparents will be stationed in the gym and meet their grandchild when they come down.  Please bring your classes down at 9:30 so we can get started with breakfast.  All students will get a bagged breakfast that morning so don't send them to breakfast in the cafeteria.  You will eat from 9:30-10:00 and then return to your classrooms from 10:00-11:00.

1st Grade - The 1st grade grandparents will check in and get a number for the classroom they will be going to.  If grandparents know the homeroom teacher - the check in process goes much faster. Then they will be be escorted to the classrooms starting around 9:20.  You will be in your classrooms from 9:30-10:30 and then report to the gym for continental breakfast at 10:30.  All students will get a bagged breakfast so please don't send them to breakfast on Thursday morning.  

At 11:00 I will make an announcement so all grandparents can exit the building.

Our 3rd grade students will be taking their state assessments in English Language Arts and Math over the next few weeks.  Your child should have brought home a letter last week that included the dates they will be testing along with some other information regarding the assessments.  Just a reminder that students must pass the English Language Arts assessment in order to be promoted to 4th grade.  Students who didn't receive a passing score in the Fall and don't pass in the Spring, will be required to take the assessment one more time in the summer.  The summer dates will be communicated to parents once they are on the calendar.   Please make sure your child gets enough sleep and eats a good breakfast so they are prepared for the assessments.  Thanks!

On Monday, March 31 there will be a funeral service at St. Anthony's church starting at 10:30 AM for a very well known local fireman.  They are expecting a very large crowd for this service and several fire trucks will be in attendance. With that being said the pickup and dropoff zone in front of Edison Elementary will be blocked off from about 10:00-12:30.  This will impact preschool dropoff and pickup in the middle of the day so I wanted to make preschool parents aware that you may need to park elsewhere on Monday.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

I wanted to reach out with a few reminders:
  1. Parents/Guardians are not permitted to park in the back staff parking lot or in the quad area between the buildings off of Broad St.  These areas are for staff parking only.  Please stay out of these areas so we can ensure the safety of our students during arrival and dismissal.
  2. Students should NOT be bringing trading cards (sports cards or Pokemon cards) to school.  We have had issues lately where cards have come up missing or they are trading them and then wanting them back.  In order to eliminate all the issues I am asking that these trading cards not be brought to school in the future
  3. If your child is going to be absent from school for any reason please make sure you contact the elementary office.  
  4. If you have not yet paid your school fees for the 2024-25 school year please send those in with your child.  We will be sending home fee notices with 3rd quarter report cards next week.  
  5. If you are changing the way your child is going home please let the office know by no later than 2:00.  We have had a lot of last minute changes recently and it creates a lot of problems at the end of the day as we are trying to make sure kids get home safely.
Thanks! 

Thank you,

We have officially used up our 5 allowable calamity days for the 2024-25 school year.  We will now move to the Remote Learning Plan should we need to use days 6-8.  Any days in excess of 8 would need to be made up in person at the end of the school year.  Your child brought home the Remote Learning packets a few weeks ago in preperation of this.  Please make sure these packets remain in a safe spot where you can access them if needed.  I have attached the Remote Learning Plan for Edison Elementary as a reminder of what needs to be done on these days.  If you have any questions please contact your child's teacher.

Now that we are through the first month of school I wanted to remind everyone of our attendance policies at Edison Elementary School.  This year we will really be monitoring student attendance and setting up attendance intervention meetings with parents if needed.  Success in school is directly related to regular attendance and we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to make sure your child is at school daily.  HB 410 requires us to send absence intervention letters to families of students who miss 38 or more hours in a month or 65 or more hours in a year.  If your child meets these thresholds you will receive a letter from my office.  If a meeting needs to be scheduled that will be included in the letter.  If attendance doesn't improve we will take the next steps in contacting our local truancy officers as needed.  
Also, if you know that your child is going to be absent for any reason please let your child's homeroom teacher know AND email Mrs. Baehr at [email protected]. 
Thank you,
David Hermes

The beginning of the school year has gone very smoothly with arrival and dismissal of our walkers and car riders.  I know this can be a very hectic time of the day due to our parking limitations but I wanted to thank all of you for your patience and cooperation as we get our students to and from school safely each day.  I did want to remind everyone that the back parking lot on Center St. is for staff members only.  We have had a few parents parking back here recently.  We dismiss all of our bus riders through this area so please do not park in the staff parking lot due to safety concerns. Thanks again for your patience and cooperation during this busy time!!!

        Starting Wednesday, September 4, you must drop your child off at the front doors and allow them to walk to class by themselves.  We will have plenty of supervision for the students who still need assistance finding thier classrooms.  We appreciate your help the first couple weeks in getting the children used to walking to their classrooms but in order to maintain the safety and security of the building the students must be dropped off at the front doors moving forward.  Thanks again for your cooperation and have a great holiday weekend!!
        Remember that we DO NOT have school on Monday or Tuesday of next week!!

WELCOME BACK!!
We are excited to see everyone on Monday evening at our orientation.  As I said in an earlier email, this year we will be running more of an Open House format so you have more flexibility to visit your child's classroom, talk with the teacher, and drop off supplies.  The only parents that have required meetings in the gymnasium are preschool, kindergarten, and any student who is new to the buildng.  I have attached the 2024-25 orientation information and it is also posted on our school website.  Please make sure you know what homeroom your child is in before Monday evening.  Those lists are also posted on our website.

KINDERGARTEN
Each year the state of Ohio requires schools to assess every kindergarten student using the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA). At Edison Elementary we use the first four days of school to bring in each child for a 45 minute appointment in order to administer the KRA. During this time it also gives the homeroom teacher a chance to meet with your child one-on-one in order to build a relationship as we start the new school year.  I sent out an email yesterday stating that homerooms are posted on the Edison Elementary webpage.  Once you know your child's homeroom teacher you may sign-up for a KRA appointment using the links below.  
 
From August 20-23 your child will only come to school for their KRA appointment.  Then on August 26 only BOYS will attend and on August 27 only GIRLS will attend.  ALL kindergarten students start on Wednesday, August 28.  
 

Thank you,
David Hermes
