There was a false alarm at Edgewood Middle School this afternoon.
EMS REMINDER: 6th Grade will be taking the O S T math test Monday and Tuesday. 8th will be testing on Wednesday and Thursday. Don't forget to bring headphones. They need to be at school before 7:25. All buses will run at their regularly scheduled time. EMS will operate on a 2-hour delay each day for students NOT TAKING the O S T. In order for a student to take advantage of the 2-hour delay start time, they will need to secure their own ride to school.
Good Morning Edgewood Middle School Families,
We have had calls about the start time changing for the testing day today. We did not change the start time for first bell. If you are bringing your students in on a two hour delay schedule that is still fine. If 6th or 8th graders come in before 9:25 they will stay in the gymnasium or auditorium until the test is over.
Have a great day!
REMINDER: 7th Grade Students will be taking the O S T Math Test Thursday and Friday. They need to be at school before 7:25. All buses will run at their regularly scheduled time. EMS will operate on a 2-hour delay each day for students NOT TAKING the O S T. In order for a student to take advantage of the 2-hour delay start time, they will need to secure their own ride to school.

Due to an anticipated larger crowd than normal, the Edgewood Board of Education meeting on April 26 has been moved to the Middle School Auditorium. The Board meeting will begin at 6 PM.
If you plan on attending, please continue to follow the COVID-19 protocols.
EMS Families of 6th grade Remote Students,
Tomorrow morning when you pick up your student after testing, please wait until 9:45 to come to the school. This will alleviate the congestion in traffic and wait time to sign your student out for the day. Don't forget to being a photo ID.
Reminder: All 6th grade students (this includes Remote Learners) will be testing tomorrow and Wednesday. Bring your headphones or ear buds. We will start testing promptly at 7:25. Please make sure your child is here at before 7:25. Transportation for all students will be provided at normal pick up times. All 7th and 8th grade will be following a 2-hour late arrival plan. They will not be going to class until 9:30. 7th and 8th graders can arrive to school late on Tuesday and Wednesday. They must be here by 9:30 in order to be counted as "on time". If you choose to have your 7th or 8th grader come late to school, you will need to provide transportation.
Dear EMS Parents/Guardians,
We are gearing up for our yearly Ohio State Testing. As we have in the previous years, Edgewood Middle School will operate on a 2-hour delay each day for students NOT TAKING the OST. For example, on a 6th grade testing day, 7th and 8th grade students will be on a 2- hour delay schedule and not required to be at school until 9:30. In order for a student to take advantage of the 2-hour delay start time, they will need to secure their own ride to school. All buses will run at their regularly scheduled time on testing days. All students riding a bus will be kept in the gymnasium/auditorium during testing. If a student does not ride the bus, but arrives at school before 9:30, they will also be kept in the gymnasium/auditorium during testing time.
Remote students will be taking the Ohio State Tests on the same day as face to face, but will take them in the cafeteria spaced appropriately. Remote students will need to arrive at school by 7:10 a.m., and sign in at the main office. If students finish early we will allow them to call home. Remote students that receive accommodations will be put in groups according to accommodations. Most remote students can be picked up at 9:15, for those receiving accommodations, the student will call when they finish the test. Parents/Guardians will need to bring a photo ID and they must be listed on Final Forms. A staff member will be posted to allow you to sign your student out at the Main Entrance.
Please make sure that your child brings his or her headphones/earbuds with him or her to school on the days of OST. Some parts of the test may require students to listen to a short clip or directions. We do not have enough to give every student.
It is very important that if your child is going to be absent during testing, please make sure to inform the main office as well as our school counselors, Mrs. Hunt (6th grade) or Mr. Stratton (7th and 8th grade), so that we can make arrangements to test him or her on another day. You can reach Mrs. Hunt at tara.hunt@edgewoodschools.net and Mr. Stratton at chris.stratton@edgewoodschools.net or (513) 867-3450.

Edgewood City School Families,
Edgewood Middle School has a great contactless fundraiser taking place right now. The goal is $60,000 in total sales. If the students reach this goal, I will pack all my gear and camp out on the roof of the building for the night. If they hit $70,000 in total sales, I will pick the top seller to shave my head during a zoom meeting with all the students during 7th Bell. I will also Facebook Live this event for all to see and enjoy.
Here is the website and my seller ID:
https://store.midwestfundraising.com/BTEMSV20
Seller ID: 49198011
If you don't want to use mine, find a middle school student who is selling and use their Seller ID. Either way, it helps EMS and gets us one step closer to our goal of $60,000 in total sales.
The last day for this fundraiser is Wednesday, December 9th. Help us reach our goal. If everyone does a little, it becomes a lot.
Thank you for your support,

Good Afternoon Middle School Families!
As many of you travel out this weekend for school supplies, concentrate on getting your students the basic materials they will need to start school: pens, pencils, colored pencils, markers, scissors, folders, notebooks, loose leaf paper, earbuds, tissue, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes. The tissue, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes may be difficult to find and that is ok. Just do your best. Once back to school, the students will have the first couple of weeks to purchase any remaining items they may need for individual teachers.
We are working hard on the Master Schedule. Our goal is to get student schedules out to students by August 24th. We are waiting on numbers and students who have chosen remote learning in order to run student schedules. Our goal is to make sure that everyone who is returning for face-to-face instruction is safe.
Look for more information to be sent out Monday regarding the upcoming school year.
FREE drive-thru COVID-19 testing is taking place Tuesday, August 11 & Thursday, August 13, 10 am- 2 pm, on both days, in the parking lot at Edgewood High School.

Edgewood Middle School,
Parents, here is a short video for everyone to enjoy, ESPECIALLY the students. Looking at yourself in the camera is harder than you think. It only took me 35 takes, but here is the finished product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0Po9J7_qUw.

Scanning, emailing or mailing home work is a difficult task due to the size of many of the packets that are available as resources for your child to work through. Please email your child's teacher if you need any information or resources during this time.

Edgewood Middle School Parents,
Please take a moment to read the following letter regarding the activities the teachers have put together for your child during this time of Remote Learning: https://5il.co/dz7l
We are currently working on putting together a document and updating the web site to share the activities and assignments the teachers would like the students to complete during this time.
We realize that not everyone has access to the internet to retrieve these materials, so we are working on making hard copies for pick up. Once everything has been copied, I will send out a schedule. There will be tables set up that have folders with the teacher's name on it. Inside these folders will be the same activities as what is posted online.
We ask you for your patience as we prepare these materials for your students.
Due to all activities in the Edgewood School District being suspended or postponed, the middle school outstanding student VIP Breakfast for Friday morning, 3/13 has been cancelled.

Once a drill starts, any communications will begin and end with "This is a drill" so all participants know the communication is related to the planned drill. In the event a real world emergency would occur during a drill, the phrase "Real World Emergency" will be issued over our communication systems.
