Today we celebrate the incredible men and women who keep our students safe every single day. Whether rain or shine, hot or cold, our crossing guards greet families with a smile, guide children safely across busy streets, and help ensure a smooth start and end to every school day.

To all of our dedicated crossing guards: THANK YOU for your commitment, your kindness, and your unwavering focus on student safety. Our schools and communities are better because of you!

Mid-Year Data and Calendar Update

As you know, our students take a learning diagnostic three times a year. This information allows us to direct individual learning paths and also determine how we, as a school, are doing.

I am happy to report that Edwins' students performed VERY well on our midyear FAST diagnostic. When we compare our data to
last year, we are ahead midyear in nearly every subject and grade! Ask you child if they met their learning goal.

At Edwins we set GOALS because Goal Setters are Goal Getters! Our continued growth is a tribute to the students, teachers and families that make up the Edwins Community.

Check out the January 19th newsletter!

Thank you so much!!

Construction Update: Our construction project is moving along nicely and we still have a tentative completion date of early December. Our roofing project has been held up due to rain, but will hopefully be finished in the next month or so. As a reminder, we are renovating our old cafeteria into a Media Center, Stem Lab, conference room, teacher work room & multiple offices. Our old Media Center is becoming our Student Intervention Center containing ESE, Title and Tutoring Support. Good things are happening at Edwins. Here are a few pics to show you our progress. Thanks again to the citizens and our 1/2 cent sales tax. That money has gone a long way at Edwins.
