Parking lot:

1) Parents need to enter the church parking lot from Vanderlip ONLY. We want to have one way traffic in that parking lot. If they ask another person (grandparent, friend etc) to pick/drop off their child they need to inform that person of the procedcure
2) Parents need to slow down in all the parking lots.
3) No parking on the red curb.

Dear Edgewood Parents/Guardians,

A few months ago we asked our teachers to contact you to see how the school year is going. Thank you for the feedback that you gave to the teachers. It has provided us with valuable information that is being used to refine what we do here at the Edgewood campus.

A number of parents mentioned safety during the after-school extended day program as an area of concern. There are a large number of students out on the yard each day between 2:30 and 3:45 p.m. Our staff supervises each area of the yard during this time, but the sheer volume of students makes effective supervision a challenge.

In order to address this situation, we will implement some changes to the after-school program beginning Wednesday, February 16th. We believe that these changes will provide a more positive environment for our students.  Our teachers and extended day staff will be involved in putting the new guidelines into action.

We understand that change can sometimes be confusing, and so we will have a "help" table set-up outside of the main office. A staff member will be there to answer your questions and to help you determine where your child may be picked up. Car loading procedures are NOT affected by these changes. The new guidelines apply to the students who are on the yard but will not affect  the students who report to car loading immediately after school.

I thank you in advance for your support of the changes and trust that by working together we can make Edgewood an even better place for all children.

Regards,

Doyle Smiens
Director of the Edgewood Campus 

 

Hello Edgewood,

On Saturday, the Orange County Debate League hosted its second annual Winter Classic debate tournament right here at Edgewood, and I'm pleased to announce that the Eagles took home first place tournament award!  The tournament award goes to the school with the highest win percentage. 

This was a very important event for us because it marked the first time in our four years of competitive debating that we've hosted here;  It was nice to earn first place at home.  The campus looked great, and it was a wonderful setting for a tournament.  Seven schools were present, representing thirty teams and nearly ninety students!  Check out the OCDL website for complete results.

As you all know, I head the debate program here at Fairmont, but two other people do most of the work that goes into each OCDL tournament.  Miss Frasier is the assistant coach for the Edgewood team, and she also serves as the Director of Operations for the OCDL.  Miss Miller supports the team as well, and she serves as the web administrator for the league.  The Orange County Debate League wouldn't be possible without the tireless efforts of these two dedicated individuals. 

Please see below for individual Edgewood scores and be sure to congratulate our debate team for their first place victory.  We hope to see you all next month (Sunday, March 27th) at our last regular tournament of the year at Serra Catholic School in Rancho Santa Margarita!

-Mr. Hughes
