In an emergency, Edgewood ISD of San Antonio uses a structured reunification process to safely reconnect students with their families. Identification is verified, students are released only to authorized individuals, and every student is accounted for. We hope we never need it, but being prepared helps keep everyone safe. Preparation brings peace of mind.

Keep your student healthy and ready to learn! Make sure vaccination records are up to date and meet Texas school requirements. Staying current helps protect students, staff, and our entire school community. Go to the Back to School page at www.eisd.net for immunization information.

Students who attend regularly have more opportunities to ask questions, participate, practice new skills and celebrate their progress. Every day in class is another opportunity to say, "I can do this!" #AttendanceMonth #AttendanceMatters

Sometimes frequent absences can be a sign that a student is facing challenges, such as difficulties with school, friendships, or other concerns. If your child is struggling to attend school regularly, know that you're not alone. Our dedicated teachers and staff will work with you to ensure your student feels safe, supported, and excited to learn.

Thank you, families, for helping students show up ready to learn! Simple routines like consistent bedtimes and planning ahead can make a big difference in attendance.

¡Gracias, familias, por ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a llegar listos para aprender! Pequeñas acciones, como mantener horarios consistentes para dormir y planificar con anticipación, pueden marcar una gran diferencia en la asistencia escolar.

The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) helps schools respond quickly and appropriately to different situations. Depending on the type of emergency, staff may initiate a Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, or Shelter response.

By using clear, consistent actions, students and staff know exactly what to do when seconds matter most. Practicing these responses helps create a safer, more prepared EISD.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day!

In observance of Labor Day, all Edgewood ISD campuses and district offices will be closed. 🏫🚫

We hope everyone enjoys a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved break as we celebrate the hard work and contributions of workers everywhere. ❤️🙌

Pre-K isn't "just" the beginning—it's where important learning habits begin! Regular attendance helps our youngest learners build routines, develop social skills and prepare for kindergarten. Start early. Attend every day. Build a strong foundation!

¡Pre-K es donde comienzan los hábitos para el éxito! La asistencia diaria ayuda a desarrollar rutinas, habilidades sociales y preparación para el kínder. ¡Asiste todos los días y construye una base sólida!

The Edgewood ISD Transportation Department helps students get to school, school-sponsored events, field trips, competitions, and more. Our dedicated drivers, monitors, and staff work every day to provide a safe and secure experience for students and families.

Thank you to our transportation team for helping students arrive ready to learn!

Healthy Students Learn Better!
When students are healthy, they can focus on what matters most: learning, growing, and achieving their goals. Required immunizations are one important way families can help support student wellness and school attendance throughout the year.

More information is available at www.eisd.net

A lesson missed today can make tomorrow's lesson harder to understand. Regular attendance helps students stay on track, participate in class and build on what they learned the day before. Be here. Be ready. Keep learning.

Perderse una clase hoy puede hacer que la lección de mañana sea más difícil de entender. La asistencia regular ayuda a los estudiantes a mantenerse al día, participar en clase y aprovechar lo aprendido el día anterior. Asiste. Prepárate. Sigue aprendiendo.

September is a great time to build strong attendance habits! Families can help by creating consistent bedtime and morning routines, preparing backpacks the night before and making getting to school on time a priority. Small routines can make a BIG difference!

¡Septiembre es un excelente momento para fortalecer los hábitos de asistencia escolar! Las familias pueden ayudar estableciendo rutinas consistentes para la hora de dormir y las mañanas, preparando las mochilas la noche anterior y haciendo de la puntualidad una prioridad. ¡Las pequeñas rutinas pueden marcar una GRAN diferencia!
