Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4th-8th this year. Although we have been away from school for a few weeks, we still want to show our teachers how much we appreciate all their hard work during the school year and during this time of distance learning. If you would like to thank or express your appreciation to an Edison High School teacher or instructional assistant, please click on the Edison’s directory link Staff Directory and email a teacher or instructional assistant directly.  Let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate them.

And we thank you for entrusting us to educate your children.


IB College Fair Has Gone "Virtual"

While we were not able to hold an in-person College Fair this year, several of the colleges and universities who were to attend the Fair have come together in a Virtual College Fair: IB Virtual College Fair

At this moment 17 international and 22 US colleges and universities have provided a short introductory video about their school and their IB policy. These videos, along with links to the school’s website and a contact person, are provided for each university or college. Additional schools may be adding their information in the next few days.

Students may also register for the Fair and their information will be sent to all schools.

We all hope to have an in-person Fair again next spring.
