Dear Edison Family,
On Friday, we had a very exciting day on our campus as we hosted a very successful Career Fair for our students. The event provided students with the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths, ask questions, and learn firsthand about the skills and preparation needed for future success.
We were honored to welcome representatives from an outstanding group of local businesses and organizations, including Walmart, Kubota, John Deere, Storm Chaser, the GISD Food Truck program, Gainesville Police Department & GISD Police, Gainesville Fire Department, and GISD Maintenance. Each of our guests generously shared their time, knowledge, and real‑world experiences with our students.
Experiences like this help students make important connections between their education today and the opportunities available to them tomorrow. We are grateful to our community partners for investing in our students and helping them envision a wide range of possibilities for their futures.
We also encourage you to continue supporting our Bubble Run fundraiser, which helps fund our campus field trips. Just go to mybooster.com and make a pledge!
Don’t forget to mark your calendar and join us for Fiesta Night on April 25—it’s sure to be a fun evening for the whole family. Student performances are from 3-6 pm. See the flyers below for more information.
⭐ Character Lesson of the Month: Courage
Courage isn’t just about big, heroic moments—it shows up in small, everyday ways for our students. Courage is raising your hand when you’re unsure, trying something new, standing up for a friend, or keeping going when something feels hard.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Recurring 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,
