The students and staff at <br />Edgewood continue to work hard to meet all of their educational goals. <br />The school continues to take proactive measures to keep incidents requiring law enforcement <br />intervention to a minimum. The school continues to educate on bullying and harassment, but it <br />is the students who have been more vocal about not allowing this to happen and reporting <br />incidents as they occur. This last quarter no significant incidents were reported, other than lost <br />cell phones, some theft incidents, and social media issues. The cell phones were immediately <br />recovered, the property in the theft incidents were located and returned, and the social media <br />issues were resolved with the help of staff and parental intervention. The students at <br />Edgewood have been reminded of their personal safety and security, along with the safety and <br />security of their personal property. <br />The school also continues to work on school safety procedures and practices. The school this <br />last quarter has conducted multiple fire drills and lock down drills. The school has been <br />reviewing procedures for better safety practices and security, including access to the building, <br />visitors in the building, and the possibility of more security cameras. The school has also been <br />working with the MVPD to improve safety procedures, along with MVPD Officers assisting in <br />upcoming training with the schools Crisis Team. <br />Since the districts bond referendum for improving schools has passed, Edgewood is one of the <br />first schools where construction will begin. Not only will the facilities be updated, but this will <br />also allow for updated safety and security inside and outside the building, with the hopes of a <br />completely separate bus zone and parent pick-up and drop-off zone. <br />
