From the Principal, Mrs. Alicia Clevenger

Welcome to Edgelea Elementary School!

Edgelea Elementary School represents students, parents, teachers, and staff working together to meet the individual needs of all students. Our school has several special programs in place to help us achieve these goals: extended day kindergarten; the Challenge Program for gifted and talented students; Greater Lafayette Area Special Services programs for hearing impaired, communication and learning disabilities, and mildly mentally handicapped; art, music, and physical education classes taught by specialists; a guidance counselor; and an emphasis by each teacher on helping each child succeed academically and socially.
Edgelea believes in life-long learning as an important skill for teachers, students, and parents. A variety of opportunities are presented for teachers to learn new teaching methodologies and for students to enrich their learning experiences. The Edgelea Staff has focused on improving student achievement in literacy and mathematics. There has been an emphasis on teaching "process writing" to all students. Several teachers have been awarded grants to further this goal.

The Teacher Parent Association (TPA) is very active at Edgelea School. Monthly meetings are held to discuss important school issues and to plan special events. These meetings are held the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 pm in our cafeteria. Several annual events include a Back to School Night, Family STEM Night, and Family Reading Night.
Edgelea School is truly a community of learning focusing on life-long learning skills and opportunities. Please feel free to visit our school and get involved by volunteering. We welcome you to a very special learning environment!!
