7 <br /> <br />• Maintaining the school radio communications system <br />• Deescalating out of control students <br />• Communicating with juvenile probation officers <br />• Operation of the school surveillance system <br />• Locating truant/missing students <br />• Locating and recovering stolen bikes, electronics and other property <br /> <br />The school continues to take proactive measures to keep incidents requiring law enforcement <br />intervention to a minimum. The results of this are evident as fewer actual police reports have <br />been filed so far this school year. During this past quarter no significant incidents were <br />reported, other than a few lost cell phones, a set of lost keys, and a damaged Chromebook. <br />The cell phones were immediately recovered, and the lost keys were found and turned in by <br />a student. The damaged Chromebook was repaired as the incident was found by the school <br />to be unintentional. <br /> <br />The school also continues to work on school safety procedures and practices. The school <br />has conducted multiple fire drills and lock down drills. The school is also reviewing <br />procedures for better safety practices and security, including access to the building, visitors in <br />the building, and the possibility of more security cameras. A meeting between school <br />administration and local law enforcement/ public safety representatives occurred to discuss <br />active shooter protocols. <br /> <br />This last quarter, Edgewood Middle School has also hosted a number of events, including the <br />school play, band and choir concerts, parent communication nights, as well as the MV Lions <br />Breakfast with Santa. The school also continues to host several after school activities <br />including sports, student clubs, and extra educational assistance for students. <br /> <br />Edgewood Middle School staff also provided extra support to families in the community over <br />the holiday season. <br /> <br />The school is looking forward to the next quarter, as 5th grade students will be enrolling to <br />attend Edgewood Middle School for next school year. 8th grade students will also be <br />enrolling for high school as well, as they complete their final year at Edgewood. The school <br />advises that should anyone have any questions about the school, programs, or enrollment, to <br />please contact them. <br /> <br />Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) <br /> <br /> <br />Once again this year, the Mounds View Police Department participated with other law <br />enforcement agencies in Ramsey County to conduct hi-visibility traffic enforcement. This joint <br />venture is known as the “Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative (RCTSI)”. The RCTSI <br />program is funded by the Federal Department of Transportation and overseen by the <br />Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety.
