Edison/DPS Reminders

February Conferences - Please join us for Student-led Conferences on February 26 between 3:45-7:45 PM. Teachers will be contacting caregivers of students who need support academically, socially or with work habits to set up individual conferences with teachers. If caregivers wish to have an individual conference, please contact your child’s teacher to set it up. Students who do not need individual conferences will lead student-led conferences with their caregivers to share what they are learning in school and their personal goals. Please watch for communication from teachers regarding how this will occur virtually.

• 3:45 to 5:45 open house for student-led conferences

• 5:45 to 7:30 scheduled 1 on 1 conferences (as needed or requested)

• Check out the Scholastic Bookfair in the auditorium - open before and after school on Feb 25 & 26

Edison's Passions Day will be on Friday, March 27th during the school day. Passions Day is an annual event where we invite family and community members to present their passion to our students. Our theme will be  “Pursuing passions help us connect people with respect and compassion.” During the school day on March 27th community members will present a 30 minute presentation/activity. Classes of students will rotate to different rooms throughout the day (as a class) and listen to various presenters. Examples from the past include: pilots, meteorology, marching band, forensic science, yoga, beekeeper, tap dancing, etc.! 

• If you, your relatives, or your friends are interested in presenting in person at Edison on Friday, 3/27/26 (8am - 12pm-ish), please sign up at: https://forms.gle/KSuMrGkjQfTk7C2C7
