Dear Edison Family,
We had a wonderful week at Edison! A huge thank you to the Gainesville High School Jazz Band for filling our cafeteria with great Christmas tunes on Friday. Our students and staff absolutely loved the performance!
We also want to give a big shout-out to Odalys Juarez Sanchez, our district Christmas Card Contest Winner! We are so proud of her creativity and talent—congratulations, Odalys!
Don’t forget to check out our Christmas Dress-Up Days listed below. We look forward to seeing all the festive spirit as we head into this joyful season.
This is also a great time to curl up with your child and enjoy some holiday books together. When you read with your child, ask questions about the story—who the characters are, what happened first, or why something happened. These discussions help develop their oral language and comprehension skills, which are essential for strong early reading.
Please make sure to look at and share with your child our character trait of the week, empathy.
Thank you for your continued support and for sharing the joy of learning with your children each day.

Reoccurring reminders:
Traffic Reminder 🚗
To help keep traffic flowing safely and efficiently, please turn right when exiting the school during arrival and dismissal. This small change will help reduce congestion and ensure a smoother transition for all families. Thank you for your cooperation!
Also, when crossing the street or high traffic areas, please make sure to be crossed by a crossing guard at the cross walk, thank you.
Reading and Writing at home: We do a great deal of reading and writing at school. Parents/Guardians, if you could help us out by helping your kiddos with their home work, also reading to them, and having them write something short and age appropriate (pre-k: trace some letters, Kinder: write a few short words, 1st grade: write a short sentence), would go a long way.
Homework Reminder: I want to take this opportunity to encourage all parents to support their children with their homework. Your involvement in your child's education plays a crucial role in their academic success. By working together, we can ensure that our students are reaching their full potential.
Parental Involvement: Research consistently shows that students perform better in school when their parents are actively involved in their education. I am proud to share that our school has seen a significant increase in parental engagement over the past year. Let's keep up this positive momentum as we work together to support our children's learning journey.
Summer School Update: I must inform you that there will not be summer school offered this year for attendance recovery. Therefore, it is imperative that your student attend school on time each and every day unless they are sick. If they are sick please leave a doctors note with the front office.
School policy: Parents, we will not allow early pick up of students after 3pm, including Doctors appointments, etc...
Transportation Changes: ALL Transportation changes must be made no later that 12pm. Any changes after that time cannot be made. Thank you,
