Hey there, EMS Knights! We hope that everyone and their families are safe, happy, and healthy! On this page, you will see some great resources and activities for students and parents while we are out of school. Your School Counselors are available by email between the hours listed, and we will get back to you within 24 hours. Take this time to not only to continue learning, but as a way to connect with your families and reflect about what’s important.

Remember that together we are not only a “Schools to Watch”,

but a strong Edison family!

Activity: I-Messages
