A message from the Principal and AP

As we move into November and approach Thanksgiving, we would like all of you to know that we are thankful for the support of our wonderful community. We feel blessed to work at such a wonderful school that partners with us to create an inclusive, enjoyable, supportive school community. Thank you for all you do to support us!

Over the past few years, in addition to our intentional efforts to provide rigorous instruction within a positive school culture, we are also working hard to ensure that our school is inclusive and welcoming to all students and families. Edison staff is intentionally making our libraries and curriculum inclusive of all cultures and family structures so that all of our students see themselves and others in books and curriculum - we talk about books and learning as mirrors, windows and sliding glass doors. As part of our continual improvement, we would greatly appreciate your perspective and feedback. Please share your thoughts and recommendations with us at any time.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns or suggestions.

Thank you for partnering with us.

Sincerely,

Sally Whitelock, Principal, 

Samantha Armijo, Assistant Principal
