Morning Drop-Off of Students

It is not safe for you or your student to drive through the bus lanes in the morning for drop off. Buses are arriving in the front lot and students are getting off buses to get into the building. Security staff will stop you from entering the front lot after 7:45 AM. Please use the following two locations to drop of your student in the morning:  

Door 5 - Enter the EHS campus on Edison Drive (past the light on Franconia) and follow to the back of the building. 

Door 13 - Drive in the first entrance (not the light) on Franconia and make an immediate right. Follow the road to the Van Dorn Street side of the building. 

Please remind your student to be ready to get out of the car when you pull to a stop to keep the line moving.

We want to remind families that Edison High School is no longer a daily meal pick-up site for breakfast and lunch. A 7-Day Meal Kit for students and families that can be picked up on Wednesdays from 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM.

In-person students are able to get breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria daily for free.
