Notes from the Office
Thank you to everyone who attended the informational meeting about upcoming changes to the drop-off and pick-up procedures for the Primary & Intermediate buildings. We know we may need to make changes as we work through the new procedures. The Primary and Intermediate Staff, along with the support of Administration, are committed to making this process flow safely and quickly for our families.
As we head into cooler fall weather, our lost and found is beginning to overflow with items! Please make sure your child's coat, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc., are labeled with their name. If there is a name on it, we can easily get it back to the correct student. Thank you.
The district will re-evaluate volunteers in the buildings on Friday, November 6th.

Picture Retakes
Any new students, students who were absent on original picture day or any students that may have not yet been photographed will have their pictures taken on November 11th.
Students who ordered a package on original picture day but are choosing to get their picture retaken MUST bring their original picture package with them on retake day. They DO NOT need to place a new order. If they forget their package on retake day, the photographer will take their photo & write their name down, but the photographer won’t order them a new package until the old one is returned.

Arrival and Dismissal Updates
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has directed Edwardsburg Public Schools to implement changes to the drop-off and pick-up procedures at our Primary and Intermediate buildings.
November 1st, 2021
- All morning drop-off and pick-ups will be at the back drive of the building
- The Primary AND Intermediate building will utilize two lanes to dismiss students from the back lot. This process includes the closure of the middle school driveway for accessing our back drive. Vehicles will travel to the high school driveway and proceed past the high school and middle school and then into the back lot.
- Students will no longer be dismissed from the front office with the exception of students who walk home from school. All vehicle pick-up of students will occur ONLY in the back of the primary building using the car rider line.
- Parking in the lot on Section Street and picking up students in the office at the end of the school day is no longer an option. This change has been made to create uniformity in our dismissal procedures as we implement the mandated changes from MDOT.
The following are ways that you can help us smoothly implement the new procedures that have been mandated by MDOT:
- Students should enter the car from the passenger side,
- Remind your child to listen for their name and to quickly go to the flag that is called for them, and
- Teach your children how to buckle up on their own.
