Edison Update 4-7-2017


Hello everyone!

Whew! The first week of testing is complete. Every Edison has completed the English Language Arts portion of the OCCT. Please let your student know how proud you are of them. They worked so hard and they all took their time. Also, THANK YOU for sending your student to school well rested and on time, we really appreciate it. We will take the math portion of the OCCT this Tuesday and Wednesday. Again, please have your student to school on time. 

Also, a huge shout out to all the Edison families that attended Family Math Night. We had such a great time sharing our math ideas with you all.

We are just 2 weeks away from our Edison Overnight!!  Attached you will find the packing list, itinerary, and specific details regarding the trip.  If an adult will be attending, your child will bring home the committee you will be serving on and the responsibilities of those on the committee today.  We only put you on one committee so that you can spend most of the time with your child.  Thanks for being willing to help, we could not do it without you!

Thursday night the Tulsa Public School Board had a meeting to discuss ways that TPS will cut the budget. The ways that they have decided to meet the 12 million dollar budget cuts are: 2 furlough days (teacher pay cut and 2 less days of school for your children), consolidating 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, eliminating some athletic programs and cutting some support personnel. The most important thing that we can ask for our parents to do is contact your state representatives. Below is a link that helps to find your local representatives and information on how to contact them. Let them know that Oklahoma is 50th in the nation for Education funding. 



Dates for your calendar:

April 11/12 – Edisons take state Math Test (Super important to be on time and well-fed!!)
April 20/21 – Edison overnight
April 27 – Edison Program
May 11 – Field Study to Tulsa Historical Society
