Check back weekly to see updates to the monthly messages.
Is your child Returning to Edgemont Next Year?
It is the time of year that we are starting to make plans for next year. Each year, the CBE gives schools information about the number of students the system believes will be attending our school next year. The accuracy of this information is vitally important when we consider the number of classrooms and the number of staff that we will have next year. With that in mind we are asking families to let us know their intentions for the 2024-2025 school year. Should you be unsure about your plans for next year, that is important for us to know too. Please indicate that you are unsure and we can follow up with you at a later date.
Please fill out one form for EACH child that you have attending Edgemont School HERE.
Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day is on Wednesday, February 28th, 2024! Students are encouraged to wear pink to show support for welcoming, caring, respectful, safe, belonging and inclusive school communities.
Clothing Donation Request
Do you have any pants that your students have outgrown? We are taking donations for emergency clothing for students. We mostly need boy's pants grades 3-5 sizes, but we will be happy to take any donations.
Reminder: Please pack a change of clothes for your students and put it in a plastic bag in your child’s backpack. With the weather getting better we are seeing a lot of students with muddy or wet pants. The plastic bag will transport any wet or dirty clothing home!
