Edison Newsletter!
Dear Edison Family,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Dr. Seuss Literacy Night on March 4th. It was wonderful seeing so many families on campus celebrating reading and spending time together. Events like these help build a love of literacy in our students, and we truly appreciate your support.
I would also like to thank all the parents and families who attended our concerts this week. Mrs. Clark did a fantastic job organizing the performance, and I absolutely loved the theme of World Cultures. Our students did an amazing job performing and showcasing all of their hard work and talent. We are so proud of them!
We have more concerts coming up in April, so please be sure to check the flyer below for additional details. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
As we head into Spring Break, I encourage you to take some time to read fun spring-themed books with your children. Reading together is one of the best ways to support your child’s learning while creating special family moments.
Happy Spring Break! I hope you all enjoy a wonderful, relaxing week with your families. We look forward to welcoming our students back refreshed and ready to continue learning.
Thank you for your continued support of Edison Elementary!
⭐ Character Lesson of the Month: Cooperation
This month our school is focusing on the character trait Cooperation. Cooperation means working together, listening to others, and helping one another reach a common goal. In classrooms and throughout the school, students will practice sharing ideas, taking turns, encouraging classmates, and being supportive teammates. When we cooperate, we help create a stronger, kinder school community for everyone.

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,
