August 23
Welcome Back!
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Friends:
As we begin the new school year, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning members of our Edison family. I've truly enjoyed the past two years and I'm looking forward to another outstanding school year serving this community! Your continued support has resulted in increased technology throughout the building, increased academic and after school programs, unforgettable field experiences for our students, and the development of a positive and supportive climate in our school. Your support in our school reform efforts has also resulted in Edison's making Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) for the 2009-2010 school year! Your participation is integral to our continued success and we thank you for being active participants in student learning.
I would also like to congratulate the members of our outstanding staff. Many are celebrating obtaining National Board Certification, graduate degrees, having their educational grants funded by the CU Foundation, and the birth of beautiful babies. My husband and I will be welcoming our own bundle of joy during the month of October. Our students are happy to be back, making new friends, and opening new doors into their futures. As always, we invite you to visit our campus, and to share your ideas for enhancing the middle school experience of all Edison Comets!
Yours Truly,
Carmela David
Principal
