A Message from the Principal
Tiger CUB Pride. Tiger CUB Nation
Dear Edgewood Elementary K-5 Students and Families,
Welcome to the start of an exciting new school year at Edgewood Elementary! As we prepare to "Ease on Down the Road" together, we want to share our enthusiasm and optimism for all the wonderful experiences ahead in the 2025-26 school year. Our back-to-school theme this year, inspired by The Wiz, reminds us that even as we face some exciting changes, we will navigate them with courage, a nurturing spirit, positive thoughts, and a spirit of teamwork.
Change can take time to adjust to, but rest assured, our dedicated staff is here to support every student and family through the transitions. In this August Back to School newsletter, you'll find answers to many questions you may have, and if anything remains unclear, please don’t hesitate to call or stop by the office, we’re always ready to help!
We hope your summer was filled with laughter, rest, and fun activities that kept your brains sharp and your spirits high. Now, with renewed energy, we are eager to welcome you back for a year full of learning, growth, and unforgettable moments.
Our district-wide slogan this year, "New Vision, Same Pride," perfectly captures the heart of Edgewood Elementary. While we embrace fresh ideas and improvements to enrich our students’ education, the pride we share in our school community remains steadfast. Your involvement is key to our success. Together, as partners, families and staff create the foundation for our students’ academic achievements and social well-being. We encourage you to engage with us throughout the year, whether volunteering, attending events, or simply staying connected, because every bit of participation makes a difference.
We anticipate a wonderful year filled with success, joy, and shared accomplishments at Edgewood Elementary. Let’s make this journey memorable as we Ease on Down the Road to a fantastic school year!
Warmest regards,
Shameika Johnson
Principal, Edgewood Elementary School
