Edison Newsletter!

EdisonNewsletter!

Dear Edison family,


We’ve had another wonderful week of learning and fun at Edison Elementary! Thank you for continuing to support our school and students each day.


Targeted Improvement Plan Survey:

Please take a few minutes to complete our *Targeted Improvement Plan* survey. Your feedback is very important as we continue to grow and strengthen our school programs.


School Meals Survey:

We’d love to hear your thoughts on our school meals! Please complete the *School Meals Survey* to help us continue improving our meal options for students.


November Family Lunch Schedule:

Join your student for lunch this month! The November *Family Lunch Schedule* is attached below—come share a meal and make some memories together.


This month’s character lesson focuses on gratitude — a perfect reminder to appreciate the little things and the people who make a difference in our lives. Check out the attachments below to learn more about how you can reinforce this at home.


We are also kicking off Our Edison Food Drive From Nov 4th-14th — see the flyer below for details on how your family can participate.


Lastly, take a moment to look at the information about our Edison Bond Expansion Project to learn about the exciting improvements coming to our campus.


Thank you for your continued partnership and support — together, we’re building a strong and caring school community!

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,
