CMAS Testing
The Colorado Department of Education requires that all 3rd-5th grade students take the CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success). All 3rd-5th graders are required to take assessments in Mathematics and English Language Arts and, additionally, 4th graders are assessed in social studies and 5th graders are assessed in science. These assessments will be given online and will be administered under standardized conditions to ensure the reliability and validity of the results.
Schedule:
3rd Grade: April 10-14 Math
4th Grade: April 10-14 Math, April 15 Social Studies
5th Grade: April 10-14 Math, April 15-17 Science
Please be aware that we will have a strict no cell phone and no smart watch policy during CMAS. All cell phones and smart watches will be collected during testing and returned after testing.
Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast
Have you supported Edison this year - by volunteering in the classroom, acting as a room parent, supporting a field trip, organizing a community event, or participating in the PTA or CSC? If so, please join us at Edison’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast in Edison’s auditorium on Friday, April 25 at 7:45 - 8:20 AM
Talent Show
Calling all 3rd-5th grade performers. If students would like to audition for the talent show, videos are due by Sunday, April 27. Performers will be announced by May 9. The talent show is scheduled for Friday, May 30, with two performances during the school day at 9:30 and at 1:30. All performers will participate in both shows.
Caregiver Input form
If you would like to provide input into teacher/classroom decisions for the 2025-26 school year, please share your input regarding each of your students (one form per student) on or before April 11 at: https://forms.gle/wf7Mks5DrsNYyMhq5
Please note:
Information from caregivers will be considered in determining classroom/teacher assignments.
Caregivers will not be permitted to request specific teachers for their students.
Teachers will make recommendations for classroom/teacher assignments based on all information known about children.
Teacher assignment decisions may change until the first day of school based on class sizes.
CSC Nominations
The Collaborative School Committee (CSC) is a great opportunity for caregivers to further participate in the education of our children by supporting decision making at the school. The CSC is a collaborative committee of school leadership, teachers, caregivers and classified staff who meet monthly to strategically design the school’s Unified Improvement Plan, analyze school data, provide guidance on and approve the school budget and staffing allocations, and advise the school leadership on school design decisions. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month from 4:00-5:00 at Edison and are open to all community members. We have one opening for a CSC caregiver representative for the 2025-26 school year.
If you are interested in serving on the CSC, please complete a nomination form no later than April 11 at:
