Planning for the Beginnning of the School Year

The 2013-14 school year is fast approaching. I hope everyone is having a fun summer with lots of rest and relaxation!

As you plan for the comming school year, please keep the following in mind:

School Supplies: You can find a PDF of the school supply list here.

Registration: Parents/guardians are required to register all students for the 2013-14 school year by coming into Edison on August 7, 8, or 9 between 8:30 and 3:00. Returning students will be required to verify the current information we have. New students will be required to complete the entire registration packet. If your student is new to Edison, please bring a birth certificate, an immunization record, and a proof of address (Xcel bill, etc). Please have emergency contact information ready. After registration/verification paperwork is completed, parents will receive teacher assignments for their children. We will also encourage parents to sign up for the Edison Student Directory and PTA membership during registration. It was our hope that DPS had on-line registration ready to go by August, but we were recently informed that this is not ready, therefore, all registration/verification will be done with paper again this year. Please plan 30-60 minutes to complete the entire process. If you cannot make it to registration on the scheduled days, please come into the office between 8:00 and 4:00 on August 19-23.

Lawn Party and Back to School Night: Please join us on August 22 from 5:00-7:00 PM for our annual Lawn Party. Bring a picnic dinner or buy dinner from a meal truck. Visit with the community and say hi to your teacher from 5:00-6:00. At 5:45 the Principal will welcome the community and introduce teachers. At 6:00 and 6:30, teachers will have Back to School night presentations in classrooms. Students are welcome to bring school supplies and drop them off in their classrooms.
