A Note of Gratitude
During the month of November, Edison teachers and students are reflecting on what we are grateful for. We are so grateful for the joy and innocence that our students bring to us each day. They are the driving force behind all things that happen at Edison Elementary! Our Eagles are oh-so-loved!
We're also so grateful for our Edison families, who partner with us in educating our Eagles. Thank you for all you continue to do each day to ensure that your children are loved and well-taken care of!
We would also love to hear from our valued families and community about what/who you are grateful for at Edison Elementary School.
Please take a brief moment to express your gratitude to our amazing staff by completing the google form linked below. Your words of appreciation make a great impact on our climate and culture. Thank you! :)
I will share all of your responses with the staff throughout the month.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wiegand

Requests To Transition Between Virtual and Face-To-Face Learning Accepted Through December 6th
Now through December 6, families can request a change in the learning mode for their student(s) for the second semester of the 2022-2023 school year. Students who are currently enrolled in-person can switch to virtual, and students who are enrolled in virtual can switch to in-person. If you do not wish to switch your child’s learning mode, no action is necessary.
Submitting the form linked below not guarantee a request will be granted. Requests will be reviewed by building and district leadership and the parent/guardian will be notified. If approved, the change will be effective for the second semester (January 3, 2022 - June 9, 2023). Once a request has been approved, it will be for the duration of the second semester. Please carefully consider this semester-long commitment before submitting this application, as requests to change throughout the second semester will not be granted.
If you are interested in changing your child’s learning mode for the second semester, please fill out the form below.
You will be notified if your request is approved.

Ready or Not: Cold Weather Is Here!
We're starting to see MANY students bundled up each day, which is great! Please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the weather each day. Students will start needing warm coats, gloves, hats, scarves, and/or boots daily throughout the winter.
Please take time to label each and every item- because our lost and found gets bombarded with lost winter accessories throughout the season
Please note that, per Board Policy, we will be having outdoor morning lineup and heading outdoors for our 20 minute recess(es) if the windchill is 10+ degrees.
Time outdoors is time well spent for kids, in all seasons
Weekly Character Club Awards
Throughout the year, we will be honoring our students with Character Club Awards. Teachers are already working to determine students that exemplify all of the different character strengths for the whole year. Each week, we will be distributing Character Awards to some of our students. At the end of each month, student award recipients will have a Character Club lunch together to celebrate our positive character!
Below are the winners for this week's Character Trait.
