Family Reading Night W.E. Parker and the Edgefield County Library hosted Family Reading Night on Thursday, September 27 at the Edgefield Public Library. Parents and students joined faculty and staff for a fun evening of reading for the whole family.

Students and parents enjoyed finding “just right” books to read and take home. Mrs. Covar and Mrs. Olsen shared stories with the children. The teachers helped parents choose “just right” books for their children. Some parents signed up for library cards and many families checked out books. W.E. Parker gave each child who attended a book to add to their home library collection. Everyone who attended had a fun night of reading.

Classroom Guidance We want your child to be as successful as possible at school. Success in school is not just about reading and math. It is also about knowing how to learn and how to get along with others. Mrs. Herlong will be using the Second Step program in 1st through 5th grades during classroom guidance this year. The Second Step program has been designed to help students learn, practice, and apply skills for self-regulation and social-emotional competence. The program teaches skills in the following four areas: Skills for Learning, Empathy, Emotion Management, and Problem Solving.
