ECE, Kindergarten and 5th Grade Continuations
It is important and fun to celebrate milestones in our lives! Therefore, Edison staff is planning on celebrating the continuation of our ECE, kindergarten and 5th grade students in late May. We are planning on having our continuation ceremonies outside in Edison’s amphitheater area with social distancing measures in place. Each student will be able to invite a maximum of 2 adults and their siblings – they will each get 2 tickets to be used for entrance of adults to the ceremony – with the following COVID precautions:
* We will set up chairs for adults in a socially distanced manner. We ask that all family members (adults and siblings) sit together. Due to limited seating, children will likely be asked to sit on the ground near adults. You are welcome to bring blankets for children to sit on.
* All family members must wear masks, over their mouth and nose, the entire time they are on school grounds.
* Community members will not be allowed to enter the building, even to use the restroom.
* Please do NOT congregate.
Please plan on the following dates:
* ECE continuation is scheduled for May 26 at 9:30 AM (rain date May 27);
* Kindergarten continuation is scheduled for May 26 at 2:00 PM (rain date May 27);
* 5th grade continuation is scheduled for May 26 at 6:00 PM (rain date May 27).
Teacher Tributes:
Edison community, it is with heavy hearts that some of our teachers are moving and will not be returning to Edison next year. These teachers have been amazing for our students through all the tribulations this year. If you would like to share with these teachers how they have impacted or helped you and your child this year, click on the links below to send them a quick online video.

From Edison PTA
Pen Pals! We are looking to start a pen pals program next year for our students. If you know of anyone in other parts of the county or world that might be up for pen paling with our students, email Tara Littell. ptaedisondenver@gmail.com
PTA Website, JOIN THE PTA and NEXT YEARS COMMITTEES! We have heard from a bunch of you that you would like to join the PTA, which is amazing, and that you want to help with events at the school next year. We have updated our website to allow you to join the PTA and event committees that we believe we will need help with next year. It is through a new website, yes sorry one more website, memberhub. We are trying this website to see if it helps coordinate everything in one place…plus we are looking at it to see if we can use it for an opt-in school directory (another thing we have heard the community would like to see). We are also working on some summer community events….movies under the stars on the Edison lawn…still working with DPS on this.
