Notes from the Primary
Happy Holiday Weekend!
It was a difficult decision on behalf of administration to cancel our traditional open house for students and their families. In lieu of an open house, Edwardsburg Public Schools has posted Virtual Open House pages on our school website. You may visit by going to the district website at: www.edwardsburgpublicschools.org. In the left corner of the orange bar is a tab that will take you to the list of open house presentations. Although there is no real substitution for meeting your child's teacher in person, it is the hope of our staff, that the information provided will be helpful as we start the new year.
In order to maintain a safe and secure environment at the Primary, parents and/or guardians are asked to not enter the building with their student. As a former, Kindergarten & First Grade teacher, I can assure you they will fine. I have found that we have less tears from our students when they walk in on their own. We have staff throughout the building that will help our little learners find their classrooms. Thank you for your understanding.
Our school office will be closed Friday, September 3 - Monday, September 6th. We will reopen on Tuesday, September 7th at 7:30.

Car Rider Information
Drop Off Information
Use only the drive at the front of the school building -- do not pull into the bus lot. Car and bus traffic are separated for student safety.
Make sure your car tag is clearly visible.
Pull all the way up along the circle drive to Door A, so that the drop off area is maximized and help minimize the backup on Section Street.
Respect our neighbors—please do not block driveways on Section Street
Encourage your child to enter and exit your vehicle—curb side only—quickly and safely.
Exit the drop off line after your child exits/enters your vehicle. There will be an adult outside to help them get into the building.
Be patient—please do not pull around /cut off other vehicles! This creates a very dangerous situation.
Share these procedures with friends and family who may be dropping off/ picking up your child.
The safety and well-being of our students is our number one priority! If you have forgotten your car tag or have not given it to the designated person responsible for picking up your child, you MUST park your car & report to door A. Use the intercom located in the vestibule where office personnel will assist you. They will ask for a picture ID for verification from the person picking up a child. We want to ensure that all students leave the school safely and with the appropriate adults.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
End of Day Pickup
Dismissal can be the most stressful part of the school day for parents, staff and students. We ask for grace as we work through the process and attempt to create a system that is simple to follow, and most importantly, safe for our students!
At the current time, there are no lines painted on the parking lot. Edwardsburg Public Schools, in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Transportation are developing a plan to prevent backup onto US 12 from the Intermediate School pickup.
If you child is a car rider, they are picked up on the north side of the building along the green fence. Please enter the drive along section street by using the driveway next to the middle school. Please stay in your car and we will help your student get to the green fence to load.
