Edison Intermediate School

This week is National Red Ribbon Week!
As part of our commitment to drug prevention, EIS students took part in a hands-on activity exploring the surprising chemicals found in vapes. The lesson encouraged meaningful conversations about how these substances can harm the body and reinforced the importance of making healthy, drug-free choices.

EIS conducted its inaugural 6th Grade Parent Night, co-hosted with the school book fair. The primary objective was informing parents about 6th-grade expectations and providing resources to facilitate their children's smooth academic and social transition. It was a great experience!

Today, our 8th Grade Peer Leaders took part in a full-day leadership training with the Wingman Movement, a student leadership training founded by Dylan's Wings of Change! 
Through engaging activities and team-building exercises, our Peer Leaders focused on creating a supportive group dynamic, explored Edison's school culture and climate, and practiced key facilitation skills with real-time feedback. We're proud of their commitment to making EIS a more inclusive and connected community!  

EIS recently hosted an after-school club fair, offering students the chance to learn about and sign up for a wide range of extracurricular activities. The event aimed to promote student engagement and provide avenues for building new skills and relationships.

This week, students attended grade-level meetings to hear from administrators and counselors about expectations for the school year. The discussions focused on how to build a positive school community by showing respect and being a constructive member of the school family.

School Resource Officer (SRO) Bernal also spoke to the students about hate speech. He defined hate speech, provided relevant facts, and explained the serious consequences of engaging in such behavior. Students were highly receptive, engaged, and participated actively by asking and answering questions.

Dear EIS Families,

For the safety of our students, staff, and community members, we are asking all families to carefully review the attached color-coded traffic map, created by the Westfield Police Department’s Traffic Bureau.

This map highlights important guidelines to help ensure that our drop-off and pick-up procedures run smoothly and, most importantly, safely. We ask that you take a moment to familiarize yourself with the designated areas and follow the outlined directions each day.

Your cooperation will make a significant difference in maintaining a safe and efficient process for everyone.

Our campus is buzzing with excitement as we gear up for the new school year! Much time was spent this summer beautifying our school's outside entrance. We can't wait to see all of the EIS students as we welcome you all back for the year!
