FCPS School Year Calendar
Edison Community,
As we wrap up our last full week of school, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredible few days for our Edison community.
Last Friday evening, we had the privilege of watching the Class of 2026 walk across the stage at EagleBank Arena. It was a wonderful celebration of a remarkable group of students. We could not be prouder of all they have accomplished during their time at Edison and of the mark they have left on our school community. Their leadership, resilience, and spirit have shaped our school in countless ways, and we know they will continue to do great things as they begin their next chapters.
On Sunday, we had the opportunity to cheer on Nithy and Jackson at the Cappies. While they did not take home the top award in their category, they are absolutely winners in our eyes. Their talent, dedication, and commitment to the arts have enriched our school, and we wish them nothing but success as they head off on their next adventures.
Tuesday brought another proud moment as many of us traveled to Chesapeake to watch our boys baseball team compete in the first round of the state tournament. Although the outcome was not the one we had hoped for, this team made history as the first baseball team from Edison to qualify for the state tournament. That accomplishment can never be taken away, and we congratulate the players and coaches on an outstanding season.
On Wednesday evening, we celebrated two outstanding members of our staff at the FCPS Honors event. Morgan Intrieri was recognized as the Region 3 nominee for Fairfax County Teacher of the Year, and Julian Gaither was honored as the Region 3 nominee for Operational Employee of the Year. We are incredibly fortunate to have both of them as part of the Edison family. Their dedication and daily impact on our students make our school a better place.
Yesterday, we also hosted our Global STEM promotion ceremony to celebrate our juniors who have successfully completed the three-year Global STEM program. It was wonderful to recognize their hard work and perseverance alongside their families. The projects, learning experiences, and dedication these students have demonstrated over the past three years are truly impressive, and we congratulate them on this significant milestone.
As we head into our final days of the school year, please keep these schedule reminders in mind:
- Monday and Tuesday will both be early dismissal days, with students dismissed at 11:30 a.m.
- On Wednesday, our final day of school, students should report to the cafeteria when they arrive. They will have the opportunity to meet with teachers, review final grades, sign yearbooks, and spend time with friends before dismissal at 10:10 a.m. All students will be marked as participating in a student activity for this end-of-year celebration.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout this school year. Have a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to celebrating the final days of another successful year together.
