6th Grade Drive Thru Celebration- Thursday, June 10
After school, from 4:00PM-5:30PM, we will be hosting a Drive-Thru Celebration for our 6th graders. Sixth grade families can come by at any point during this timeframe to receive the 6th grade certificates, t-shirts, lawn signs, and most importantly- a fond farewell from Edison Staff!
Students will be able to walk the path along the sidewalk to each station. Parents need to remain in their car and drive alongside their 6th grader. At the electronic sign, parents may get out to snap a picture of their 6th grader, prior to exiting the parking lot.
We're looking forward to celebrating all of our 6th graders!

Students will travel by class to participate in each activity.
This year, we've divided up the day with K-3 students participating in the morning and 4-6 & CI students participating in the afternoon.

Technology Help
- To submit Help Tickets for technology problems, please use our Device and Instructional Support Form. A member of our technology team will reach out to help you.
- Unfortunately, we don't have any trained technology teamed members available to field phone calls in the office, so the above JotForm is the best way to get help with programs/devices.
