Edison Early Childhood Center

Today was our first day back, and we are so happy to be getting back into the swing of things! Thank you to everyone for your patience, flexibility, and cooperation as we begin another wonderful school year. We would also like to send out a few friendly reminders: • If your kindergarten student will be eating breakfast, please let the staff member know as your child is getting out of the car. Please remind your child to place their backpack on their assigned number on the playground, go directly to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then return to the playground afterward. • During afternoon pickup, please leave the handicapped parking area on 10th Street open and available for families who need access to it. • Please remember to display your child’s car tag in the front windshield during pickup. This helps our line move more quickly and safely. • For the safety of all students, please remain in your vehicle during drop-off and pickup times. Our staff members will gladly assist children as they unload and load into vehicles. • If you need to buckle your child into a car seat, we ask that you pull forward and move to the side so traffic can continue flowing smoothly. • As a safety precaution, please do not approach staff members while they are directing traffic and moving the car rider line. Their attention must remain focused on the safety of all students. • Please do not take your child from the line until a staff member has dismissed them. • Walk-up students will be dismissed after the car rider line has been completed. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and make arrival and dismissal run as smoothly as possible. We appreciate your support and are looking forward to a wonderful year at Edison ECC! — Edison ECC Staff

Many parents are already using BusRight, our parent app that gives families with students who ride our busses real-time visibility of the bus journey. If you have a student who rides the bus on a daily route and are not already using the app, you can fill out the form and receive an invite! https://forms.gle/JdHcdEikDnfXXwCw5

As we prepare for our first day back tomorrow, we would like to thank everyone in advance for your patience and cooperation during drop-off and pick-up times. Please help us keep traffic moving safely and efficiently by remembering the following: • Please be mindful of the handicap loading zone on Tenth Street during drop-off and pick-up. • We ask that parents avoid blocking driveways while waiting in the car rider line. • Please have your car tag displayed in your window during afternoon pick-up. This will help our staff move the line as smoothly and quickly as possible. • The map below shows the designated drop-off locations for each grade level. To help ensure a smooth transition for all students, parents will not be permitted inside the building on the first day of school. Please be prepared to say your goodbyes at the car. Staff members will be available to assist students with unloading and getting safely to their classrooms. Thank you for helping us make the first day a great one. We are looking forward to an amazing year together as we shine bright! Thank you, Edison ECC Staff
