A new grade level can bring new immunization requirements. This is especially important for students entering 7th grade, when Texas requires meningococcal (MCV4) and Tdap/Td vaccination based on state requirements. Don’t wait until a deadline—check your student’s record now.
As students become more independent, staying connected still matters. Keep up with campus messages, calendars and updates so you know about important dates, opportunities and activities. Staying informed makes it easier to support your student while giving them room to take ownership of their school experience.
Wear your support this October! 💗🧡

Breakfast AND lunch are FREE for every Edgewood ISD student, every school day! Nutritious meals ready to help our students learn, grow, and succeed. Two meals. Every student. Every school day. FREE.
Every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect. When students attend regularly, they have more time to build skills, strengthen relationships, and stay connected to what's happening in class. Families, help your student make attendance a priority -- one school day at a time.
