Dear Edison Families,
It was wonderful to see our field hockey team play this past Monday! I also enjoyed watching our girls’ and boys' volleyball teams compete this past week. Both teams played hard and represented Edison with pride.
We are excited for our first home football game tonight against Langley High School! It’s a white-out, so wear your white gear and show your school spirit. The drumline and cheerleaders went through the halls earlier today, helping to build excitement for the game. I look forward to seeing many of you in the stands!
I will also host a parent coffee on Wednesday, September 25th, at 9 am here at Edison. I hope to see many of our parents there as we discuss the start of the school year and the various supports available for your child’s success. I look forward to hearing your feedback and having meaningful conversations.
I also want to encourage all families to take a moment to read Dr. Reid's important message from September 11th. In her message, Dr. Reid addresses school safety and the recent postings out of Alabama that have been circulating nationwide. Please know that we work daily to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for all our students. I want to assure you that every decision I make is with the safety and well-being of our students in mind as if I were making it for my own family.
Looking ahead, we are excited to host our Feeder Night on October 4th, where we will welcome future Eagles to our football game! Before the game, our future Eagles will have the opportunity to participate in a fun run across the field. That night, we will also honor our late Coach Deck with our annual Deck Bowl competition against Lewis High School—a meaningful tradition for our community.
Thank you for your continued support, and I hope to see you at tonight’s game!
Amanda Burke
Principal

🤒 When a Student Should Stay Home From School
Whether students miss school because of illness or any other reason, missing school leads to learning loss.
Help your child succeed by encouraging them to attend as many days as possible, but do make sure your child stays home if they are sick. Visit our website for information on when to keep your child at home.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to notify their counselor so that assistance can be provided if needed. Keep an open line of communication with your school's public health staff.
Read about how families can help form good attendance habits. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!

Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. Please help us welcome our military families during Blue Star Welcome Week, September 21 - September 29, 2024, and throughout the year! #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS
