Updates

  • At parent drop off, please have your student get out of the car as soon as you pull by the yellow line sidewalk. Both sets of doors are open. This will speed up the process.

  • When students have more than $15 in breakfast/lunch charges, they will be given an alternative lunch.

  • Just a reminder that only plain water is allowed in water bottles here at school. This is due to possible accidental spills.
 

Attendance Tip of the Week

Strong attendance helps build friendships. Children who attend regularly have more opportunities to play, collaborate, and connect with peers, making school a place they enjoy coming to each day.

Students are allowed 18 unexcused hours before not earning the Christmas incentive. Remember excused hours will never count against students for the incentive.

Students are considered excessively absent in a school year when they miss 38 hours in a month or 65 hours in a school year. This includes both excused and unexcused hours. 

Students are considered habitually truant if they miss 42 hours in a month or 72 hours in a school year. This includes only unexcused hours.

Reading Tip of the Week

Look for text evidence. When your child makes a guess or prediction, ask: 'What clues in the story helped you figure that out?'

Math Tip of the Week

Cook together! Have your child read the recipe and adjust amounts. “If the recipe makes 4 cookies and we want 8, how much sugar do we need?”
 

EIS Award

Edgewood Intermediate was awarded the Bronze award for implementing PBIS. This is a great honor awarded by the State of Ohio.

PBIS Expectations

Did you know that PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports? As a school, we have school wide PBIS expectations throughout the building. You may hear your student talking about these things.
