This message is in regards to dropping off and picking up students in the Junior High/High School west parking lot.

This past week, we had a student that was hit by a car in the west lot after school. In addition, I have observed many unsafe practices in the morning during drop off times as parents enter the lot and cut across parking spaces to get to the row closest to the high school instead of following the circle drive that goes to the Junior High. We are very fortunate that the student who was struck by a vehicle was not injured as a result of the incident and have an opportunity to adjust our practices to ensure the safety of all our students!!

In order to provide a safe drop off and pick up for our students, I ask that you follow the traffic flow that enters the lot and makes a loop down by the junior high school or follow the lanes that run north and south instead of cutting across parking spaces to move near the high school. In addition, I ask that you give yourself plenty of time to enter and drop your student off (or pick up) so you do not feel rushed and thus do something unsafe in haste. I also ask that you slow down while driving in the lots during the winter months as stopping distances are increased with the slick conditions.

Our number one priority is to ensure students arrive and depart school safely and I appreciate your cooperation in helping to make this a reality! Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Dave Ehlers, Superintendent

They participated in the S&E Festival that was held December 1st at Edwardsburg High School. Mrs. Thomas & Mr. Keech are very proud of their accomplishments, and we are very thankful to Lane Alsup for accompanying many of the soloists. Many of our students earned the top rating (1st division & a blue ribbon with medal), which means they earned A’s in a majority of the areas of tone, intonation, rhythm, technique, and interpretation. A 2nd division rating is a majority of B’s in those areas. All students learned valuable skills throughout the process, from preparing (practicing) for weeks ahead of time to confidence gained in both preparation & the performance. We are very proud of their efforts!
