Culinary Arts Garden

Culinary Arts added a little more flavor and fun to the program this month!  They planted 40 plants: cilantro, sage, basil, rosemary, parsley, chives, mint, oregano, thyme and dill. Thank you Mrs. Maletz for spearheading this and for the support of the PTSA. We are excited to see these infused in future recipes!

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.
