Our 18+ students were hard at work at Peter Piper Pizza today! Students practiced important job skills by vacuuming, cleaning and organizing the children's play area, and assembling pizza boxes in preparation for customers. Experiences like these help build independence, responsibility, and confidence while developing skills that support future employment opportunities. #Edgewood Proud #The Time Is Now #A&MISCP

That text can wait. Your student’s future can’t.

At Edgewood ISD, we want every student focused, connected and ready to learn.

That’s why personal devices must be powered OFF and stored OUT OF SIGHT during the school day.

And it’s more than a school rule. Texas law requires public schools to prohibit student use of personal communication devices during the school day.

One notification can become one distraction. One distraction can mean missing directions, an important lesson or a chance to connect with classmates.

Together, we can keep classrooms focused on what matters most: our students and their success.
