We would appreciate your feedback about grading here at Edison. Students have seven or eight teachers and they each have different requirements; it can be daunting. Please consider taking this short survey (5 minutes) so that we can know your thoughts and experiences. We will have a general meeting on this topic in May.
Thank you in advance for completing this survey by close of business Friday, April 29, 2022:

From April 28th to May 20th, Edison High School’s juniors and seniors enrolled in a culminating IB course will complete their IB exams. IB exam schedules will be sent to each student’s FCPSSCHOOLS.NET email addresses. Students must arrive on time for their designated exam sessions as there are no makeups. Parents/Guardians can access the IB testing calendar at https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/assessment-and-exams/exam-schedule/.
If any parents, guardians, or alumni are interested in volunteering during IB exams, please contact Ms. Devers at sddevers@fcps.edu to schedule a time slot.
Due to the rise in opioid overdoses in the Fairfax Health District (which is consistent with national and state trends), Fairfax County Public Schools has partnered with Fairfax County Government to provide educational webinars on youth substance use trends and supports. The free webinars are scheduled for April 26, and April 28, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Both webinars will provide the same information.
The following topics will be covered:
- Most commonly used substances
- In-depth opioid information
- Reasons why youth use substances
- How parents can support their children
- Available FCPS and Fairfax County Resources
- How students, parents, and community members can connect with support providers
Registration for the webinars is available online.
Enhanced security on FCPS sites has made it a safer environment for us to work in, but it also can make it difficult for links to work from newsletters like this one. Links are checked for accuracy before sending, but if you receive an error message after trying to open a link, please copy the link and paste into your browser window.
