EPE is a positive, purposeful, productive community for all.
Contact a teacher through the website
Good day, EPE Community.
Week 1 is coming to an end and we are celebrating with a Pep Rally at the end of the school day to celebrate. We will get the students excited for the upcoming year while explaining this year’s theme: BE YOUR BEST SELF (see above) and the WOLF expectations. Be sure to ask your kids about it! If they are under 12, they may actually give you details….MAYBE!
I want to thank everyone who has been kind and followed our directions for the drop off lane. See how we don’t call it the “park, get your kids out of the car, and then wave to them as they enter the school lane.” DROP OFF LANE! I think some of it has to do with the fabulous signs our PTA put up to….um…remind people.
On a more serious note: Don’t Send in Foods With Nuts! This is a reminder that we do our best to be nut-free at EPE. I know it is tough to remember but please know that we have students with allergies and, as a school community, we need to make sure that we are not sending in foods that contain nuts. Yes, Nutella has hazelnuts in it!
Here are some common things to avoid sending in with your child:
Upcoming Events: *Here is a link to all key dates/events this school year
- Monday, September 2nd: Labor Day (no school!)
- Week of September 3rd: Docusign school forms will be sent out
Future Dates:

Join the School Band:
Dear parents:
My name is Yaron Benyamini, and I will be returning to Edison Park School this year as director of bands. I also teach at six other schools in the Chicago area. Like most of you, I am looking forward to the upcoming school year!
The school band is starting up soon and I want to make sure you make music a part of your child’s life! As parents, you make decisions each day about what is best for your child, often with little or no concrete information or certain outcomes. With music, you can be sure that you are making the right decision for not just next year, but the rest of their lives. Study after study has shown that learning to play an instrument has tremendous benefits on our young people’s minds.
Your child will soon hear a demonstration concert of instruments and a flyer is attached that tells you how to join the school band! In the coming days we will be back to let your child try a couple of instruments and help them find a good fit. We will circle the instruments your child did best on.
To register your child, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3. Sign-up by September 11th for guaranteed instrument delivery on the first day of band class. It is best to sign-up AFTER your child has had the opportunity to try the instruments.
1. Have your child visit our website: www.MusicArtsBand.com/141994
2. Have them watch the instrument demonstration videos.
3. Choose their instrument and register for band.
I know you have questions about where to get an instrument or what supplies your child will need. All of that can be found on the website.
Now it’s my turn to help you by helping your child. Sign them up for music, and I will help bring out a part of them you might not even know is there.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or would like to discuss this further.
Sincerely,
Yaron Benyamini
