The fundraiser will end this Friday. We are still distributing 'coops' the rest of this week.

Students can earn a coop by doing the following:

1. Register and share with 5 friends or family members. (The link must be click open by 5 people). https://www.shopfund.com

2. Sell items online or using the order forms. Children earn one coop for each item sold. If you sold online, please send a note or coupon in to let us know how many items your child sold. Please turn in your envelopes this week if you are using the order forms.

3. If you would rather not participate in the fund raiser, children can earn a coop for each $10 cash/cheek donation made to the school.

La recaudación de fondos terminará este viernes. Todavía estamos distribuyendo 'coops' el resto de esta semana. Los estudiantes pueden ganar una cooperativa haciendo lo siguiente: 1. Regístrate y comparte con 5 amigos o familiares. (El enlace debe ser abierto por 5 personas). https://www.shopfund.com 2. Venda artículos en línea o utilizando los formularios de pedido. Los niños ganan una cooperativa por cada artículo vendido. Si vendió en línea, envíe una nota o un cupón para informarnos cuántos artículos vendió su hijo. Por favor entregue sus sobres esta semana si está utilizando los formularios de pedido. 3. Si prefiere no participar en la recaudación de fondos, los niños pueden ganar una cooperativa por cada donación de $ 10 en efectivo / mejilla hecha a la escuela.

Hello Edgelea families,

I continue to encourage families to incorporate healthy habits at home. Eating healthy, to getting a good amount of sleep each night, maybe even including a vitamin daily with breakfast. We continue to use Universal Precautions in the building. Washing hands numerous times a day, our custodial staff along with all other staff is excellent in keeping the class rooms clean and wiped down. If your child is feeling unwell please keep home to further evaluate.

We continue with masks not being mandated. Your child is more than welcome to wear one if that is what is preferred. As of now, if your child tests positive for covid, they will need to stay home 5 days from the start date of symptoms. On days 6-10 a mask will need to be worn in the building for child to return. We are not close contacting or quarantining siblings at this time. We will update parents as things change throughout the year.

Please make sure all vaccines are up to date. These will be needed by October 14th, if noncompliant child will be excluded from school until issue resolved. Health department can assist with vaccines, 765-423-9222. Riggs Community Health is another place to receive vaccines 765-742-1567. There are Religious/Medical exemptions that can be signed if the reasoning behind child not receiving vaccine.

The nurses office is very grateful with all of the clothing donations it receives. We are currently in need of boys’ and girls’ pants, sizes 6-12. Winter coats, hats, and gloves are welcome since the weather is changing on us.

Please make sure your child is wearing some type of jacket/sweatshirt in the morning. It is still chilly outside for out kindergarten and first grade when they go out for recess. I know it is warmer by the end of the day and the jacket can then be put in book bag to take home.

Thank you all for your help!

Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Por favor, asegúrese de que todas las vacunas estén al día. Estos serán necesarios para el 14 de octubre, si el niño que no cumple será excluido de la escuela hasta que se resuelva el problema. El departamento de salud puede ayudar con las vacunas, 765-423-9222. Riggs Community Health es otro lugar para recibir vacunas 765-742-1567. Hay exenciones religiosas/médicas que se pueden firmar si el niño no recibe la vacuna. La oficina de enfermeras está muy agradecida con todas las donaciones de ropa que recibe. Actualmente necesitamos pantalones para niños y niñas, tallas 6-12. Los abrigos, gorros y guantes de invierno son bienvenidos ya que el clima está cambiando para nosotros. Asegúrese de que su hijo use algún tipo de chaqueta/sudadera por la mañana. Todavía hace frío afuera para el jardín de infantes y el primer grado cuando salen al recreo. Sé que hace más calor al final del día y la chaqueta se puede poner en la mochila para llevarla a casa. ¡Gracias por toda tu ayuda! Por favor, póngase en contacto conmigo con cualquier pregunta o inquietud.

All Edgelea students should spend 20 minutes a night either reading or being read to...or a combination. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS READING 20 MINUTES NIGHTLY!

Please continue to encourage your child to read ALL SUMMER long. It makes a HUGE difference in their reading skills/levels. Consider visiting the Edgelea library and the public library. Children love books and it is a FREE activity. Show your children that you love books, too. It is a "life-changer" but the time to start is NOW. Often parents wonder, "what can I do to help my child succeed?" This is the answer. Read to your children. Have them read. Share the love of reading with them. It makes school and learning so much easier and enjoyable. Set them up for SUCCESS!

Todos los estudiantes de Edgelea deben pasar 20 minutos por noche leyendo o siendo leídos ... o una combinación. ¡POR FAVOR, ASEGÚRESE DE QUE SU HIJO ESTÉ LEYENDO 20 MINUTOS POR LA NOCHE!

Why does attendance matter? A lot of research has been done and the findings are not surprising! Students who attend school regularly are able to learn more, have fewer discipline problems, develop better study habits and often are more successful than students who do not.

The last few years, due to Covid, we were much more relaxed regarding attendance. However, this year, we will strictly be following LSC policy regarding attendance.

Our goal is to work together with families to help improve attendance. Please help your child have the opportunity to become academically successful by having them at school on time each and every day. It's one of the most important things you can do for your child!

1. Anytime a student has an exempt absence, the documentation must be brought to the school to be filed within three school days of the students return.
2. After a student has reached 6 absences, the parents will receive an attendance letter from the principal notifying the parent of attendance concerns. “Exempt” absences identified in 1-13 above in this section do not count toward this total of 6 absences.
3. After the student has reached 9 absences, the principal will send notification to the Office of Elementary Education.Parents will be notified of the state attendance law and further actions that may be taken if attendance problems continue.Parents are expected to contact the school principal to set up a conference regarding their student’s attendance. The principal may report the student’s absences to Truancy Mediation for further action. “Exempt” Absences identified in 1-13 above in this section do not count toward this total of 9 absences.
4. Habitual absences, 12 or greater, will be reported to the Truancy Mediation Officer (Truancy Mediation – Tippecanoe County Superior Court #3) for the consideration of the juvenile court.It will also be filed with Child Protective Services as possible educational neglect. A child can be retained and not promoted to the next grade level.
