 Edison Academy Families, Friends, and Followers,
We hope that you will join us for our Open House on Saturday, February 3, 2024, from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
Please note that the Construction Technology Program will also host orientations for prospective students for that program on both Saturday, February 17, 2024, and March 2, 2024, from 12 PM to 2 PM at the program's class/construction site, 6931 Spring Village Drive, Springfield, VA, 22150.
Monica Bentley, Academy Administrator
This is a reminder that all students that are not Edison High School students who attend Edison Academy have received an Edison Academy lanyard. It is expected that all feeder Academy students wear their lanyards around their neck when entering the building, in the hallways, and when they are exiting the building. This was shared with all students at our beginning of the year orientation and again in the November 2023 Edison Academy Newsletter. We would appreciate you reinforcing this requirement with your student. Moving forward, if your student needs a replacement lanyard there will be a $1.00 fee. Should you have questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Sharon Grimes, Edison Academy Administrative Assistant via email or in room H102.
