Edison Parents,
Thank you for making our parent conferences such a big
success. We had over 90% attendance for our families.
We are sending home some important papers for your
family to see and complete. If you have students in
grades K-2 you should see and read a letter about “Move
on When Reading” that will likely be change for students
across Arizona due to a law that has been implemented.
Parents of students in grades 1 and 2 got other letters
about this change during the past two years.
Also, parent surveys are coming out. Please let us know
how we are doing and if there are areas to improve.
Please complete this form in pencil. There is a comments
section on the back that can completed in English or
Spanish. We will be sending them out this week so please
complete them and return them to school. Students in 5th
grade will complete a version as well to give us a student’s
view of Edison.
Finally, there is a letter about safety coming to families
that reviews what we do as a school and how we ask you
to follow our procedures when you come to campus. We
will be planning a safety night in the spring for families to
connect our efforts with community resources.
Thanks,
Edison Staff
