The Cutting Edge
August/September 2019
School Safety is our Top Priority
I would like to kindly notify you of a school board policy that has previously not been enforced at Edgelea, but we will begin implementing starting Monday, August 26th.
Now that we are beginning the fourth week of school, parents should not be walking students to their classrooms. This is the Lafayette School Corporation policy. It is listed in our board approved elementary student handbooks as it states, "After the first week of school, parents need to drop students off at the arrival door. For the safety of all students, parents must follow the the school's arrival and dismissal policies."

All Pro Dads will meet the first Friday of ever month between 7:00 and 7:45 am. (No breakfast meeting in January and May). All Pro Dads serve a simple breakfast of donuts or pancakes. All dads, uncles or other important people are welcome to bring the kids and come for breakfast and fellowship. There is no charge.
All Pro Dad’s breakfast is about building and strengthening the relationships of dads and kids by taking at least 1 morning a month to spend quality time with our kids and let them know how much we care about them, and how much we want to be an active part in their lives.
You will be glad you did. BE EXCITED! BE INVOLVED! BE…..AN ALL PRO DAD!!!! Watch for more information in our September Cutting Edge Newsletter.

What is TPA ?
Pink Walrus night is August 27th
Pink Walrus night is actually August 27, not September 27, as reported in the last newsletter. Students have been given flyers. You must take the flyer to the yogurt shop in order for the TPA to receive a portion of the proceeds.
Throughout the year, TPA will offer several restaurant opportunities for families. Please do not feel obligated to attend these events or to purchase food items you would normally not eat. If it is convenient and something you would do anyways, we appreciate your support. However, there is no pressure to participate.
