Thomas Edison Elementary School

Celebrating Global Coptic Day and recognizing the rich history, faith, culture, and contributions of the Coptic community around the world. At Thomas Edison, we value the diversity that strengthens our school and community.

Even though it's summer break, we have some exciting news to celebrate! Thomas Edison earned SEVEN district awards in recognition of the hard work and achievements during the 2025–2026 school year. We are incredibly proud of these accomplishments and grateful for the dedication, support, and effort that our teachers, staff, students, families, and community continue to invest in our school. 🎉🏆

Need resources over Summer Break? Our Community School Coordinator will still be available throughout the summer to support Edison families with resources and assistance as needed.
