Greetings Edison Academy Families,
It is hard to believe that this Friday, October 29, marks the end of the first quarter. There will be a two hour early release for students on this date. Please note that Monday, November 1, and Tuesday, November 2, are student holidays and there is no school for students.
We have had a successful first quarter and are so happy to have students back in person. We look forward to sending you a quarterly newsletter to share important information and good news.
