Edison Newsletters Find monthly newsletters and weekly announcements at edison.dpsk12.org/o/edison/news ______________________________________________________________ New Edison/DPS Information Edison Enrichment Updates - Please visit this link to Edison’s enrichment page to find information about when and how to sign up for after school enrichment! Sign up for Greet & Get! We have a car drop off/pick up lane on Perry Street that is supervised by teachers before and after school. It's often referred to as the "Kiss and Go" lane in the morning, and "Greet and Get" in the afternoon. Families do not need to sign up for morning drop off and are free to say goodbye there. It is a NO PARKING zone though, so it's important to say goodbye quickly and keep the line moving. In order for teachers to know to release a student to Greet & Get in the afternoon, fill out the form here. Again, it is a NO PARKING ZONE so you may not leave your car while in this lane. Please stay in your vehicle until your student is present and then pull out safely to depart. Grade Level Performances - Please mark your calendar now for your student’s performance this year!
Soccer and Flag Football coaches needed for 4th and 5th grade intramural teams! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X7soHV7SCLMcf6iJEO7OPrPQNyQUtNp8/view?usp=sharing . Contact Jennifer Gonzales at 720.692.7969 or jgonzal@dpsk12.net if you’re interested. |
Edison/DPS Reminders DPS is now requiring volunteers to sign a waiver and confidentiality agreement every year. Please do this in the Edison office before your first volunteer shift. This is in addition to submitting an application with Sterling to be approved as a volunteer for the district (see Volunteer information below). Denver Mayor’s Childcare for All Initiative: Childcare for All, a new citywide initiative, brings together families, childcare providers, educators, employers and community members to identify solutions to access to high-quality childcare. Community feedback will help inform future recommendations to strengthen childcare across our city. Please share these opportunities to get involved with your school community:
You can report a student's absence online in Parent Portal! For both planned and unplanned student absences, you can login to Parent Portal and submit an absence request instead of calling the attendance line. You may also call the attendance line at 720.424.7784 to leave a message. Show Your Edison Spirit! Every Friday, we invite your kiddos to wear their favorite Edison gear or blue and yellow to show their school spirit! Please note: This will replace our monthly “Spirit Fridays”— one less thing to remember! Let’s show our Edison Eagle pride every Friday! There is a new app for DPS transportation! With this app, parents can receive late bus alerts, view route information and check their student’s bus location. Because these features are offered, scanning on and off the bus is mandatory and students must have a QR code on their phone or printed ID. Physical IDs are being printed for transportation eligible elementary, middle and high school students. Once completed, these IDs will be delivered to your schools for distribution (hopefully in September). Aligning with the new cellphone policy, students are permitted to utilize their mobile devices while on the bus to display their digital QR codes. If you have questions, please email transportation@dpsk12.org. New Personal Communication Device School Board Policy DPS School Board has approved a new policy (Policy: JICJ Section: J - Students) concerning personal communication devices at our schools. Beginning this year, all personal communication devices (Cellphones, smart or electronic wearables [such as smart watches or smart glasses], wireless earbuds and earphones, personally-owned tablets and laptops, non-district-issued computing devices, and any other personally-owned, portable electronic communication devices) must be turned off and kept out of sight during school hours. Should you choose to send your child to school with one of these devices, Edison and DPS are not liable if the device breaks, is lost or stolen. If you need to contact your child during the school day, call Edison’s front office. Get Back-to-School Ready with DPS Family Academy: DPS Family Academy is a 15-minute digital orientation to Denver Public Schools. Families can learn how to use the Parent Portal, complete the You Benefit! form, understand attendance and wellness resources, and find academic support. Complete the academy for a chance to win a Family Night Kit. Start DPS Family Academy School Boundary and Enrollment Zone Community Meetings Denver Public Schools is hosting community meetings as part of the Redrawing Our District Equitably: School Boundary and Enrollment Zone Update initiative. Families are an important part of this process, and we encourage you to attend a regional engagement session to learn more, ask questions and share your feedback.

We know that students who have good attendance are much more likely to develop a positive self-concept about school and good work habits, as well as being more likely to be at/above grade level academically. Please support your students and the staff at Edison by planning your vacations when we do not have school. Please be aware of the following dates for the 2026-26 school year:
