I hope you had a nice Spring Break and Easter! It's hard to believe, but we are in the final stretch of the school year. This is a very busy time, so please read the updates below!
With the warmer weather, please be extra careful in the parking lot and around the school. Many families will be walking to school or parking across the street to avoid the drop off line in the morning. Staff will be working with the crossing guards to make sure students are arriving at school safely. Please do not drop students off in the parking lot. Use the drop off lane or park your car and walk your student to the front door (see map below). Thank you for following these procedures and helping keep our students safe!
I hope you and your family had a great weekend and that you got outside to enjoy the warm weather!
We have Kindergarten Kickstart coming up next week on March 14th from 1:00-2:00pm at Edison. If you have an incoming kindergartner, we hope to see you there! If you have any friends, neighbors, etc, please help spread the word about the event. More details are listed below!
NEWSLETTER: Edison Update - March 4, 2024
I hope you and your family are well as we enter the final days of January! Although the weather has been mild at times, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. We go outside for recess if the temperature (with wind chill) is at or above 20 degrees. If you need help with winter clothing, please contact the main office for assistance.
The PTO Popcorn Day last Friday raised over $500 dollars! Thank you for sending in $1.00 with your student to participate. Our next Popcorn Day will be Friday, February 9th!
The Mobile Dentist will be at Edison the week. Forms were sent home, but you can also sign up on line at www.myschooldentist.com
Just a reminder carried over from the last parent update: The City of Westland has installed additional "No Parking" signs by the K-2 playground (between Edison and the Ice Arena). The Westland Police have started asking parents to move their cars at dismissal. Please be aware of this change and use the parking at Jaycee Park or the Ice Arena as alternates. We appreciate you avoiding the bus lane as well so we have a smooth dismissal!
Have a great week,
Bennett Tyler

I hope you had a great weekend and you're ready for the week!
We have half days this week on Tuesday (12-5) and Thursday (12-7) due to Parent/Teacher Conferences. Dismissal is at 12:20pm both days. You should have received information from your child's classroom teacher, including a sign-up. If you still need to schedule a conference, please reach out to your child's teacher ASAP!
I hope you've had a good week and are looking forward to Thanksgiving next week! It will be a short week, as we have a half day next Wednesday (11-22) and we will be closed for Thanksgiving Break next Thursday-Friday (11-23 & 11-24).
Students that need to take a school picture or would like a re-take will be able to do that next Tuesday (11-21). The picture re-take information is listed below.
Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up in early December, so be on the lookout for sign up information which will be shared by your student's classroom teacher. Conferences will be in the afternoon or evening on December 5th and 7th.
Have a great weekend,

I hope you had a great weekend and you are excited for a fun week! We have a Scholastic Book Fair which is open all week and during Trunk or Treat. Our 4th Grade students have a music concert on Thursday. Following the concert, we have the Edison Trunk or Treat! These events are always lots of fun and well attended by our community.
Please remember that all costumes must be school appropriate (no blood, weapons, etc). When in doubt, it's probably not the best costume or prop for school!
We have lots of candy and appreciate all of the donations! If you can send in another bag or two, we will still take it up to Wednesday of this week. We expect over 300 students and 30 Trunk or Treat locations, so the candy goes quickly! The Trunk or Treat will start at 6:30pm on Thursday. If you arrive early, the line will start at the door/sidewalk for the new gym!
Lastly, NWEA Student Progress Reports are available in the ParentConnection.
Have a great week,
Bennett Tyler
I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the perfect weather! It will be warm this week but I'm sure fall weather is coming soon. As students begin to bring coats and hats, it is a good time to put their first and last name on the tag.
We had another great week! Next week is our first full week of school!
Thank you very much for following our arrival and dismissal procedures listed below, things went well this week. Things will smooth out even more next week as we are all back in our school routine!
