PTSA organized Edgewood's first Walk-A-Thon on October 23, 2012 and it was a great success thanks to all the families and students who participated. This was a great community event that showed how supportive West Covina is of its schools.

WELCOME

Greetings to Edgewood Students, Families, and Community Members,

Thank you for visiting our school's website and taking an interest in Edgewood Middle School.  I would also like to extend to you a warm welcome as we begin the 2012-13 school year! 

We are very proud of the progress that has been made to improve the academic achievement of all students here at EMS and commend our parents and community members who have supported us in this endeavor.  It is our goal to prepare students to not only transition to high school but to equip them with the 21st century learning skills to ensure their success in college and beyond.

I would like to encourage parents to communicate in person, by telephone, and now by e-mail with the school staff for the benefit of your child.  The education of our children must be a team effort where parents and teachers work collaboratively to support each other.  You can be involved in your child's education on a daily basis by regularly speaking with your child about what they are learning and by sharing your feelings about their education.
 
Please actively support your child by supporting Edgewood Middle School.  Please call the school at 626-939-4900 anytime that we can be of service.  We look forward to many positive opportunities to interact with you for the good of your child.

Sincerely,

Marc Trovatore, Principal

Creepy Animals

The Valentine Animal Show allowed our 6th graders the opportunity to learn about reptiles, spiders, and many other animals. Students had the opportunity to hold many animals that they once feared. See how they demonstrated their bravery.
