Our community has suffered a tremendous loss as we recently learned that one of our Edgar Middle School students has passed away. We all experience loss at one time or another but the unimaginable void left by the death of a child is particularly hard. Earlier this evening, our Superintendent Dr. Vincent Caputo informed the families in our school district and provided them with multiple resources for helping our children process their feelings.
During moments like these, we reflect on the things that matter most in our lives, including the strength of our extraordinarily caring community. We are here for each other, especially during painfully sad moments like these. Our deepest condolences to everyone who is impacted by this traumatic loss.
Please note, while 988 is now in effect, the old 1-800-273-TALK (8255) number will still direct you to 988 services and support indefinitely. #988Lifeline

Just a friendly Tuesday morning reminder. Parents, please don’t lose focus on what’s more important. Their grades don’t mean anything if they’re not here to see them
Parents - there’s a National TikTok challenge in which students are instructed to trash the restroom at school. Please have a conversation with your child about respecting their school. It’s not only frustrating to talk with students about vandalism but disheartening.
Yesterday I finished my time at EMS. Thank you Metuchen for allowing me to be a part of the family for the last 5 months. So grateful for the amazing experience and the many connections I made. Excited to see where I go next! @MSDEdgar@MSD_Caputo@E_M_S_Principal@Neyda_Evans
When you’re at graduation this year and everyone is crowded around the highest achieving students with all the chords, find that student with the IEP that rarely spoke, and drown them with praise. That student just climbed their Everest. (Shared.)
