A Message from the Principal 

Tiger Pride. Tiger Nation

Dear Edgewood Families,

Happy New Year! As we step into a brand-new year filled with endless possibilities, I want to take a moment to welcome you back and express my excitement for the opportunities that 2025 will bring to our school community.

The start of a new year is a perfect time to reflect on our progress and set new goals. At Edgewood Elementary, we are committed to continuing our work in creating a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where every child feels valued and inspired to succeed.

This semester, we will focus on strengthening our academic achievements, building social-emotional skills, and fostering a positive school culture guided by our CUBS principles—Caring, Understanding, Unique, Brave, and Successful. These principles are at the heart of everything we do, and we encourage you to reinforce them at home as well.

A few reminders as we begin this exciting new year:

  • Attendance is key: Everyday counts. Please ensure your child is here and ready to learn each day.
  • Dress for success—and the weather: With colder temperatures upon us, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the season. Warm coats, hats, gloves, and boots will help keep them comfortable and ready to participate in outdoor recess and activities.
  • Communication matters: Stay connected with us by checking newsletters, emails, and our school website for updates on events and important announcements.
  • Engagement opportunities: We love having our families involved! Look out for ways to volunteer or participate in upcoming activities and programs.

We are excited to partner with you in 2025 to ensure your child has the best possible educational experience. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, my door is always open. Together, we can make this a remarkable year for our Tiger Cubs!

Thank you for being an integral part of our Edgewood family. Let’s make 2025 a year to remember!

-Mr. Ernest Cornely
