Edison Elementary School serves about 415 students in grades K through 5. We are a National School of Character and a four-time recipient of the ADL's No Place for Hate Award. We earned these distinctions by demonstrating to these organizations that character development has a positive impact on our students' academic achievement and behavior, as well as on our school climate. Our rigorous academic program emphasizes literacy, math, science and language development through the arts and music. Edison also offers enrichment programming and an after school program that serves almost half of our students.
Edison School strives to prepare and motivate our students for a rapidly changing world by instilling in them critical thinking skills, a global perspective, and a respect for the core values of responsibility, kindness, respect, empathy and tolerance. With an emphasis on language development, character education, family engagement though its community school model, and social-emotional learning, Edison students will have success for today and be prepared for tomorrow.
At Edison, we are committed to character! We pledge to take responsibility for our learning, to reflect kindness towards every member of our community, to respect the rights and the persons of others, and to show empathy and tolerance for all!
Please note this meeting will be held at 5 p.m.
