Welcome To Edgewater High School!

Dear Edgewater Family,
Eagle families, we are four weeks into the final quarter of the school year with this Wednesday marking the halfway point and closing the midterm grading window. Teachers will lock in progress report grades by Wednesday, April 24th and those reports will be available through the Skyward portal on May 2nd. Remember that by the time you see the progress report, the grades will already have changed. It is always a best practice to monitor grades closely through your parent account in Skyward.
Last night we celebrated the inductees into the 2024 class of the Edgewater Hall of Fame. This is a prestigious ceremony that has been held every two years for the last 16, making this our eighth class of inductees. The next time you are on campus, take a look at the hallway in the auditorium. Photos of every Hall of Fame inductee line that hallway and remind us that once an Eagle, always an Eagle!
The Executive board of the Edgewater Foundation gathered with the inductees on Friday night for a meet and greet (above). These individuals are a combination of Edgewater alumni and parents who raise money for the sole purpose of giving it away to students through scholarships and to clubs and organizations through grants. We are blessed to have this kind of support from parents who want only the best for our students.
This coming week, we have a modified schedule (see below) to accommodate the senior Common Final Exam (CFE) schedule. These district assessments are administered in every course that is not linked to a state or national exam and are worth 20% of the overall final grade in each class. Attendance to participate in the assessments is vital, so please make sure your senior is at school with a charged laptop each day to participate.
Our Cambridge AICE exams begin on Thursday and our senior picnic is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. There are so many fun and memorable things happening this month. Senior parents, soak up every moment! Remember that basic things like being held accountable for daily attendance and assignments lead to strong work ethic as adults. Stay the course, rely on your habits and finish strong! As Oprah Winfrey said, "Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do."
Thank you for reading and have a great week!
