Thomas A. Edison High School offers the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) and the Diploma Programme (IB DP). The MYP is integrated into classes from grades 7 through 10 and the DP focuses on courses for junior and seniors.
This year, we are looking for parent/community feedback. Please complete the survey that best applies to you by October 22. Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback so we can evaluate and improve both programs at our school. If you have any questions about the survey or the IB MYP and DP at Edison, please feel free to contact us at cmnuttall@fcps.edu (grades 9 and 10) and sddevers@fcps.edu (Grades 11 and 12).
IB MYP Parent/Guardian Questionnaire (9th & 10th grades)
IB DP Parent/Guardian Questionnaire (11th & 12th grades)
Sincerely,
Corinne Nuttall (IB MYP Coordinator) & Sabra Devers (IB DP Coordinator)
Forty-three Edison students earned the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma during the 2020-21 school year. Three of these students earned a Bilingual Diploma, meaning they completed their world language study at the native speaker level. |

As noted in last week’s News You Need to Know, by November 8, students who are 16 years or older are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a medical or religious exemption on file in order to participate in Virginia High School League (VHSL) winter and spring sports for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year.
The easiest way to submit the required forms is to email a picture or turn in a photocopy of the vaccination card to our athletic trainer, Tom Milosavich, at tjmilosavich@fcps.edu. Please include the student ID number in the email or on the photocopy.
FCPS is looking for kind and caring substitute teachers to ensure our students continue to thrive when teachers need to be out of the building. Substitute teaching is a great opportunity for stay-at-home parents, retirees, college students, and anyone who wants a flexible work schedule. Subs save the day- apply today! Substitute Teaching
