Happy May and Last Month of School
Hello Shark Families,
We are so excited to be hosting Summer School at Edgewater again! Please click on the picture at the right to register your child. There will be after school activities in STARS as well. I will be present most of June but will not be principal assigned to the session.
As we leave for Summer, we want you to know that we will send out a list of supplies your child will need to be successful in the classroom. Remember, the list is suggested and considered a donation.
Please stay in contact through Parent Square during June for info for next year. My last day of work is June 30th for the year. We also have a site wide focus around our vision. We want all students to become Global Leaders. Our students have an EDGE in life because they are educated at Edgewater. Our students will have:
- Engagement in community service.
- Dedicated to making a difference.
- Governance in global leadership.
- Empowered to achieving goals.
Our Student Council is joining a global student council, and our Safe School Ambassador program is under way.
Promotion for 6th grade is coming fast. We are hosting the 2023-24 promotion on May 30th at 9:00 am in our cafeteria. Then immediately following, please join us in the part next door for a celebration of their success. We need baby pictures for the slide show at the promotion. Please send me your pictures via email at rhenderson@mjusd.k12.ca.us or my phone at 530-990-0160. Please make sure to write your child's full name you want for the show. It's hard to believe he or she is moving on to middle school!
Ms. Henderson
Principal

Safety Awareness Around Campus
Hello Families!
We are always focused on student safety here at Edgewater. We ask that you keep two things in mind.
- If you choose to park, please park and walk your student to the front office area.
- Please be extra cautious near the entry and exit driveways because walking and biking students do cross the driveways.
Thank you for being very vigilant of students.

We had some fantastic musical performances during Open House in April. Students across the grade levels sang a song of friendship in honor of autism awareness month. Third grade and the second/third combo class performed a musical called "Big Beautiful Planet." We have some talented students who even sang solo parts for the performance!
Mark your calendars for the upcoming 4th grade musical production about the Gold Rush called "Gold Dust or Bust!"
