Are You Returning To Edison in the Fall?
We are beginning to plan for the 2023-2024 school year at this time. It would be extremely helpful for us to know whether or not your child will be returning to Fraser in the fall. We are asking each family to help us with this process by completing the form below. Please take a moment to fill it out. Please complete ONE FORM per child.
We greatly appreciate your assistance planning for next school year!

Let's Appreciate Edison's Staff
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week was May 8th-12th.
As you know, every member of our staff is working harder than ever this year. In addition to supporting our students' academic growth, our staff is also working s hard to support our students' individual social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, I encourage you to work with your children to pick at least one member of the staff who is making a difference in their life. Then send that staff member a shout out using the form below, send an email, have your child draw a picture, or send in a card, etc., to let them know. These small gestures take just a few minutes and mean SO MUCH to our deserving teachers, office staff, custodians, support staff, and lunch aides.
Special Accommodations for 23-24 Classroom Assignments
Due to the many variables and requirements that have become part of the classroom assignment process, requesting specific teachers is not a viable option.

Weekly Character Club Awards
Throughout the year, we will be honoring our students with Character Club Awards. Teachers are already working to determine students that exemplify all of the different character strengths for the whole year.

At the end of each month, student award recipients will have a Character Club lunch together to celebrate our positive character!
