Oki, Danit'ada, Âba wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello, Bob Edwards Community,

Contact your child’s teachers here: Our Staff. Your child’s homeroom teacher is the best first point of contact for any questions or concerns. Speaking directly to those most closely involved is more effective, efficient and timely. Communication with parents, students, and community members is always welcome. Email is the preferred method of communication.

Weather Reminders

This time of year means the regular transition between warm and cold weather. Please help your student come to school prepared for the weather over the next several weeks.

Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
All students enjoy 20 minutes of fresh air at lunch (weather permitting) and some physical education classes outside, and this time is much more enjoyable if they are dressed for the weather.
Families are encouraged to review this checklist to be prepared for using transportation every school day and throughout the school year. Transportation Family Checklist
Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
Students should not arrive at school before 8:55 a.m. (Soft entry starts at 9:03 a.m.)
Students must be picked up from school by 4:00 p.m.

Parking Reminders

Please do not park or drop off students in the bus zone in front of the school between 7 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
We now have 6 school buses at Bob Edwards School, and they need the space to operate safely.
Please do not drop off or pick up your child from the staff parking lot.

Wishing you all a nice weekend!
