Edgewood Weekly Update- Sept. 15th
Connecting Families and School Through Communication!
Dear Edgewood Families...
Thanks so much to our students and families that attended our Curriculum Night last Tuesday. This night gave the teachers and me some time to provide important information to you. We value our partnership with you in the education of your child(ren)! I have added my PowerPoint to our school web page under the parent tab. I am also including another link for parents which gives you more information about the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and student learning.
Two-page color guides, by grade level, created by the National PTA organization.
