Ambassador of the Month for May
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.
Edison Academy Featured in Our Voice, Our Future with Dr. Reid
Dr. Michelle Reid, school superintendent, met with Edison Academy students and HVAC teacher, Robert Stringham for the latest installment of the "Our Voices, Our Future" video series. It was great having her talk to these incredible SkillsUSA gold medalists and was a reminder that there’s no limit to what can be achieved. The future of the skilled trades has a great foundation here at Edison Academy. Mohammad, Caesar, Sam, and Mr. Stringham did a great job, and you can see the video here.
All the Cupcakes
Culinary Arts students provided the delicious cupcakes for the Academy Awards and brought a little culinary magic to sweeten up the night. They provided ten cupcake flavors and showcased fun frosting techniques. Our students really outdid themselves!
Commercial Construction Field Trip
Students had the incredible opportunity to learn from current industry leaders at the Inova Hospital construction site near Springfield Mall. They learned about the many steps of constructing a hospital including the critical electrical and structural needs of such an important community structure. They also networked with industry professionals that could result in summer internships and full time jobs for many of our students!
Final Grooming of the Year
