Edison Newsletter!
Dear Edison Family,
Thank you so much for coming out to support our school during Doughnuts with Grown‑Ups this week! We had a great turnout, and it was wonderful to see our students enjoying special moments with their families.
A big shout‑out to the High School Athletic Leadership Council for taking the time to come and read to our students. We are very grateful for their leadership and for sharing their time with our kiddos; it truly made the day special.
We have several exciting events coming up in April. Our students have been working hard, and we are looking forward to our upcoming music concerts, where they will have the opportunity to showcase their talents. We will also be hosting Pre‑K and Kindergarten Round‑Up, an important opportunity for families to register for the upcoming school year. Please be sure to see the flyers for dates, times, and additional details.
We also encourage you to continue supporting our Bubble Run fundraiser, which helps fund our campus field trips. 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. See the flyers below for more information.

⭐ 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.
As we approach the holiday, I hope you have a very happy Easter with your loved ones. I wish you all many blessings.
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,
