Edison Elementary School

A message from the Principal and AP

We hope everyone had a restful and fun-filled Thanksgiving break. At this time of year, we would like to express how thankful we are to lead our exceptional school. Edison’s teachers and staff are true professionals with students at the center of everything they do. The community we serve is caring, giving and committed to a strong school. So, thank you for everything you do to encourage your children and support our school! We are blessed to have the opportunity to lead your school, educate your students and be a part of your children growing up.

With only three weeks of school before the winter break, we know that many parents and families are thinking about things to do during the vacation. We would like to challenge you to create wonderful family memories while also providing your children with encouragement to continue their learning. Over the break, please consider participating in our Read-A-Thon!

Have a Happy Holiday and READ a lot!

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

Sincerely,

Sally Whitelock, Principal, 

Samantha Armijo, Assistant Principal
