 Edison Academy Families,
The 2024-2025 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 certifications which consisted of passing three different tests. Auto Technology and Auto Collision students have all completed their S/P2 safety training.
We have two students who are working with the FCPS Office of Facilities Management (OFM) through the Trades for Tomorrow Program in the Electrical field.
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
 Edison Academy will host our Career Experience Fair on October 22, 2024 for Edison Academy students only! This event will host over 15 trades and industry fields for students to explore!
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Career Experience Specialist, Ms.Frederick tsfrederick@fcps.edu.
FCPS high schools will be hosting the Preliminary SAT (PSAT)/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) for Grade 10-11 students and the SAT School Test Day for Seniors on Wednesday, October 9. There will be NO Academy classes on this date.
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 clearly display their lanyard and they MUST be visible when trying to enter the building, at only Door 13. This was shared with all students at our beginning of the year orientation sessions. This presentation has also been posted in Schoology by our teachers. Moving forward, if your student needs a replacement lanyard there will be a $5.00 fee.
 Electrical Construction & Engineering will host their annual Haunted House again this year. Teachers are able to sign-up to bring their students during the day. An email will be sent to Edison HS teachers from Mr. Wolfe to register. There will also be a Community Day for the haunted house on October 31st from 6pm-8pm with a cost of just $1! For the evening event, students MUST be accompanied by an adult.
Please contact the Edison Academy attendance office if your student will be absent or staying at the base school due to an altered schedule by emailing EdisonAcademy.Attendance@fcps.edu, or via telephone 703-924-8137. This is in addition to informing the base school attendance office.
