Thursday, May 14, Edison Academy Awards in the Auditorium at Edison High School starting at 6:00 p.m. We will be celebrating our Academy students, recognizing their accomplishments, and honoring award winners. Business attire is recommended for students.
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 do not 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 and information above 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 4th - Last day for shuttles
Final day for all Edison Academy feeder student shuttles. Due to graduation for Edison High School students on June 5th, there will be no shuttles after June 4th and all feeder students should stay at their base schools.
Please note, starting on Friday, June 5th, parents of feeder students do not need to make attendance calls to Edison Academy for their students as they will only be reporting to their base school for the remainder of the school year.
Financial Obligations
Class Fees: Students taking an Edison Academy course with a class fee should ensure that their class fees are paid as soon as possible. If you have an outstanding class fee, you will be receiving an email reminder in the coming weeks. Fees can be paid anytime by logging into my MySchoolBucks and clicking on "Invoices."
Parking Tickets: Students who have received a parking ticket from Edison High School for parking on school grounds without a valid Edison Academy parking pass should take care of their parking fines as soon as possible. You can pay your parking fines by seeing Mrs. Grimes in the Academy Office.
Please note, both class fees and parking tickets are considered a financial obligation and will be reported to base schools if they go unpaid.

Ambassador of the Month for April
Teacher Appreciation Week
It takes a special kind of educator to balance academic excellence with real-world application. At Edison Academy, our teachers do it with grace, passion, and dedication. This week, we celebrated our teachers and all they do for the students from all over Fairfax County. Our student ambassadors took the lead on planning thoughtful acts of appreciation for each day of the week.
Thank you to our teachers for being the strength of the Academy!
Cyber Program Arcade is Open
The Edison Academy Cyber program designed and built a fully functional arcade for the first time last year. This year, they enhanced with additional games and activities. Students in the program will manage the arcade through the end of May, applying their skills in management, customer service, and technical troubleshooting. The second part of their mission is to reward both students and staff at the end of the school year during an often stressful time. The arcade comfortably accommodates up to 40 students at a time.
