New Community Information:

  • Report Cards: Caregivers can now see their students’ report cards on the Parent Portal. If families would like a hard copy, you can easily print from the Parent Portal. 

  • Edison Food Drive update: THANK YOU for showing up BIG during the Edison Food Drive. We are so grateful for your generosity and fast action during a time of uncertainty for so many families! To date, we've provided 26 stocked boxes of food directly to families, delivered four full car loads of food to Cheltenham Elementary School's resource center, and raised over $6000. Monetary donations are being split between direct assistance via gift cards for families in our community and Bienvenidos Food Bank. And given every $1=$9 at Bienvenidos (because they can buy at wholesale rates), our $1,350 donation is multiplied to equal $12,150 to secure food, hygiene products, and household goods needed by families every day. 

    • While we are not raising funds anymore, we will continue to gather non-perishable food items in the front hall and outside on Fridays through November 21. Thank you again for all you do to make Edison such a special place!
