Attendance

To report unexpected absences, please use the this Attendance Form or call the Edison Academy Office 24 Hour Attendance Line, 703-924-8137, or email us at EdisonAcademy.Attendance@fcps.edu to report the absence. Handwritten notes from parents delivered by students are not encouraged as a method of reporting absences.

Testing attendance

Academies don’t receive notice of scheduled activities and testing from base schools. Activities, testing, and all other absences need to be reported directly by parents/guardians to the Academy so they can be recorded correctly on the Academy side. Use the links below to report attendance. This is true for all base schools (including Edison High School). 

End of year attendance

  • Seniors: Your attendance for final exams, senior activities, and graduation will be automatically entered in SIS based on your base school's schedule. You do not need to report attendance for these days. 
  • Underclass feeder students: Report any absences through June 4, the last day of Academy shuttles. 
  • Underclass Edison students: Attendance will be marked through the last day of school.

June 3rd - Edison graduation

Due to the 2:00 p.m. graduation for Edison High School students, we have shuttles for only the AM feeder students. Midday and PM students should stay at their base schools.

June 4th - Last day for shuttles

Final day for all Edison Academy feeder students.

Cyber Program Opens an Arcade

The Edison Academy Cyber program designed and built a fully functional arcade to reward both students and staff at the end of the school year. Funded through generous grants from the PTSA, Educate Fairfax, and FATE, the arcade comfortably accommodates up to 40 students at a time. Students in the program will manage the arcade through the end of May, applying their skills in management, customer service, and technical troubleshooting. See full article here
