Dear Dad or male role model, 
The students and staff at Edison Elementary School would like to invite you to join us for “Donuts with Dad” on Friday, November 3. We would like you and your child(ren) to join us sometime between 8:00 a.m. – 8:45 a.m. for donuts, coffee, and juice. There will not be a program of any kind. This is just a time for you to eat and share time with your child(ren) and friends. This year we are also inviting male role models if a father isn’t available. Due to space and time constraints we ask that only one male figure attend per family. Preschool does not have school on this day but are welcome to attend. This program will be sponsored by Smiley Automotive. Hope to see you on Friday, November 3!! 

We will have “Morning with Mom” on Friday, May 3. For this event we will also invite female role models if a mother isn’t available. 

Sincerely, Edison Elementary 

Dear Edison Community,
The Edison Elementary PTO is asking for your help in raising funds to build an outdoor learning space, in honor of the late Donna Leimeister, beloved staff member of over 30 years. As a dedicated employee of Edison Local Schools for 38 years, Donna was the face of Edison Elementary School. Her kindness and presence in the school was unmatched. She was loved by our community for decades, and we would love to honor her in a way that will benefit the community and school she loved so much.  Please see the attached letter regarding our plans to build an outdoor learning space at Edison Elementary School that can be used by the school and community.  Details for making a donation to this great cause are included in the letter.  We appreciate your support!





On Friday, October 27 we will have our annual "Wear Your Costume to School Day" at Edison Elementary for our K-3 students and staff.  Please see the attached information that outlines the guidelines that must be followed.  Preschool teachers will communicate with preschool parents regarding their activities due to the fact that preschool is not in session on Friday, October 27. 
Also, the Milan Rotary Club will once again sponsor our annual Community Halloween event at Edison Elementary on Sunday, October 29.  Please see the attached flyer with details for this event.

If you are sending money to school with your child for any reason, PLEASE make sure it is clearly labeled with a first name, last name, and what account it is for.  Unfortunately, we cannot combine funds for different accounts so if you are sending in money for more than one thing, please write separate checks or send in different amounts of cash.  For example, if you are sending in money for lunch and Morning Care you need to send two separate envelopes.  We cannot take money from lunch accounts and transfer to Morning Care accounts.  It is our hope that in the future we have the capability to transfer funds from accounts but at this time we don't.  Thank you for your help in making sure money get deposited into the correct account! 

Thank you,
David Hermes

09/14/2023 From Mr. Hermes
We have had some issues recently with parents parking in the bus loading zone on the Broad St. side of the building where kindergarten students get picked up.  For the safety of our students and staff please do not park in this open area as that is where we load some of our students on to buses.  Thank you!  

09/14/2023   From Mr. Hermes We held our Certain Read kickoff assembly last week for our 1st-3rd grade students.  Students may now begin to take quizzes after reading their library books.  You can access these quizzes from home.  Details about the Certain Read program and how to take quizzes are attached. Please make sure your child is actually reading the book before attempting to take a quiz.  We realize that this program creates a friendly competition with the points and prizes involved. However, the purpose of this program is not to earn prizes and points.  The purpose of this program is to encourage students to read as that is the most important skill they will ever learn. We appreciate your support of this great program! 

09/12/2023 From Mr. Hermes!
On October 11 the Erie County Health Department will be offering dental services to students at Edison Elementary.  Please see the attached information and contact the Erie County Health Department if you are interested in setting up an appointment for your child.  


09/01/2023  From Mr. Hermes   Who needs a SUPER CHARGER shirt????

We have completed our first week of school at Edison Elementary.  I hope that your child has had an enjoyable experience during this first week.  I have a few items that I want to bring to your attention now that we are through our first week.
  1. Starting Thursday, August 31 NO parents/guardians of K-3 students may enter the building during arrival or dismissal.  If you are bringing your child to school please have them walk into the building on their own starting tomorrow.  We have staff members available to help them if they need assistance getting to their classroom.  Safety and security is a priority for us so we appreciate your cooperation with this.  
  2. If your child is a middle school student who rides the bus to Edison Elementary after school please make sure they know that they need to play on the playground or wait for you in a safe spot.  Unfortunately, our school day does not get over until 3:45 and we don't have supervision for middle school students who are waiting for their parents.  Also, if you pick up your child from the middle school and are waiting for your elementary child to be dismissed please don't send the middle school child in to use the restroom or get a drink unless it is an absolute emergency.  
  3. Arrival and Dismissal - If you are dropping off your child or picking them up please remember that the side of the street closest to the school is for drop-off and pick-up only.  You may NOT exit your car if you are in this lane.  If you need to exit your car for any reason please use the other side of the street or the parking lot by the A-Field.  PLEASE follow these procedures as it makes arrival and dismissal go much smoother for everyone.
  4. If you are sending in money for lunch, school fees, morning care, etc please make sure it is clearly labeled with child's name and what it is for.  We want to make sure the money gets deposited into the correct account. 
  5. If you know your child is going to be absent please contact the elementary office.  If we don't hear from you we will need to make a call home to see where the child is at. 
  6. Morning Care - this service is available from 7:15-8:45 for any K-3 student.  The cost is currently $2.00 per day for this service.  If your child is not attending Morning Care they must be dropped off between 8:45-9:00.  Any child coming in after 9:00 will be marked tardy.
If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact myself or Mrs. Baehr in the elementary office.  Thanks and have a great LONG weekend!! 


Thank you,
David Hermes
Edison Elementary School Administration
