 Edison Academy Families,
The 2022-2023 school year is off to a great start. Students are busy earning industry certifications and learning new workplace skills. Cosmetology students have received their Barbicide certification, Culinary Arts students have successfully completed S/P2 Culinary workplace and food safety certifications, and Auto Technology and Auto Collision have completed their S/P2 safety training.
We have eight total Youth Registered Apprenticeships getting work based learning experiences for their classes. Two students are working with private employers and the other six are working with FCPS Office of Facilities Management (OFM).
It is hard to believe that we are halfway through the first quarter. Monday, September 26 is a student holiday and there is no school for students. Please see the calendar below for other student holidays.
We look forward to sharing important information and more good news. Together, we are a strong community of learners that will continue to support one another and provide the necessary caring culture so everyone will thrive.
Sincerely,
Monica Bentley, Academy Administrator

We are now scheduling dog baths and nail trims! We provide baths, nail trims, ear cleanings and minor trimming (around the feet, face, rear end, sanitary trims). As the year progresses, we may also be able to offer basic haircuts (nothing breed specific). We groom on mostly Wednesdays and Thursdays by appointment. Drop off is between 8:10-8:30 a.m. and pick up is between 1:45-2 p.m. If your dog is in need of a haircut, please take them to another grooming facility for the full cut and we would be a happy to do the in-between baths and trims. Cost range is $15-25 depending on type of dog and services needed. Email Karen Nestlerode at kenestlerode@fcps.edu with your dog's information or any questions.
Please contact the Edison Academy attendance office if your student will be absent or staying at the base school due to an altered schedule using the on-line attendance form or email EdisonAcademy.Attendance@fcps.edu.The student should email their Academy teacher. This is in addition to informing the base school attendance office.
