Edison Monthly Newsletter - April 2026

A message from the Principal and AP

I hope everyone is having a fun Spring Break and enjoying the time off with their family. 

Can you believe that there are only two more months left of the school year? The end of each school year is filled with so many fun and exciting events.  As we approach April and May this year, teachers are planning for end of year assessments and engaging student centered projects. We know, however, that students’ memories are often made at field day, at the talent show, through projects and during continuation. We are so very excited for these enjoyable community events. Please see information below regarding end of year dates and events. 

As I reflect on this school year, I continue to be amazed at the efforts and instruction our teachers consistently provide within caring and supportive classroom communities. I am also so very appreciative of the support from our community. I want to thank you for supporting me and our teachers throughout the year. I appreciate the kind words about our teachers, your support of your children at home, and the caring community that makes Edison such a wonderful school and community.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement!

Sincerely,

Sally Whitelock, Principal

Samantha Armijo, Assistant Principal
