• Changes for Announcements: Because we have so much info to put into announcements (which is great) we felt it would be helpful if we could separate athletic announcements from the regular announcements. We have an awesome athletic program at Edison and we really want to give it the attention it deserves. Going forward we will separate the announcements. There will be 2 announcements sent out–the regular announcements and then another called "Athletic Alerts."

 

• No Food Delivery: We want to remind students and parents that ordering food to be delivered during the day is not allowed. We have had students and parents (ordering for students) order food during the school day and this is against school rules.

 

• EDISON SPIRIT WEAR: It's time to place the final spirit wear order for the school year!  All orders must be paid for in advance, checks made payable to Edison PTSA; the order form is attached.  Orders can be turned in through the office  and must be submitted by Wednesday, October 31st.
