As we observe Veterans Day, we pause to honor and express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our country with courage, dedication, and sacrifice. Their commitment to protecting the freedoms we cherish reminds us of the importance of service, unity, and compassion in our own lives and communities.
Across the Edgewater School District, students and staff are taking time to reflect on the meaning of this important day through classroom discussions and acts of appreciation. These moments help our students understand the value of service and the lasting impact of those who have worn our nation’s uniform.
On behalf of the Edgewater Schools, I extend heartfelt thanks to all veterans in our community and beyond. Your example inspires us to live with integrity, purpose, and gratitude each day.
With appreciation,
Billy Cunningham
Superintendent of Schools

Dear Edgewater School Community,
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to those who participated in our first Caregiver Academy, focused on the important topic of chronic absenteeism. While the weather created challenges for many to attend in person, we appreciate those who were able to join and share their insights. Moving forward, we will offer a virtual option for future sessions to ensure greater access and participation.
Together, we explored how consistent attendance directly impacts student learning, growth, and long-term success—and most importantly, how we can work as a team to support our children in getting to school every day, ready to learn.
For those who were unable to attend or would like to revisit the information, please see the links below:
