FCPS School Year Calendar
Good afternoon, Eagles,
As we wrap up another week, I want to take a moment to highlight something that made me especially proud of our students.
Yesterday, a group of students led a powerful lesson during 9th-grade advisory focused on kindness. They challenged their peers to think carefully about the words they choose and, more importantly, to reflect on both the intent behind those words and their impact on others. These students have volunteered their time to meet monthly with our SOAR committee, helping to bring forward student voice and strengthen our positive behavior supports. Their leadership and willingness to engage in these conversations speak volumes about the culture we are building together at Edison.
Looking ahead, next week is spring break. I hope our students take this time to rest, recharge, and enjoy what they do. When we return, we will be heading into the final quarter of the school year, and it will move quickly. We will continue to focus on finishing strong, supporting one another, and making the most of every opportunity ahead.
A few important reminders:
- Students do not have school on April 6, as it is a teacher workday.
- Students are also off on April 10 to allow staff to participate in professional development.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our students and school community. I hope you all have a restful and enjoyable spring break.
Amanda Burke
Principal

 Join us for the Edison Pyramid Art Show. April 17, 2026 from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm.
At FCPS, the safety of our students, staff, and visitors is our highest priority — no matter the season. In extreme cold, we monitor National Weather Service (NWS) guidance, adjust outdoor activities, and ensure our buildings are warm and secure. In extreme heat, we modify or cancel outdoor activities, use on-site measurements to guide athletic decisions, and promote hydration and cooling breaks.
FCPS has plans in place to provide guidance during severe weather, including storms, flooding, and tornadoes. Decisions are informed by industry best practices, weather alerts, and a commitment to keeping our school community safe and healthy year-round. Read more about weather safety, including the differences between an advisory, watch, and warning.
El Compromiso de FCPS con la Seguridad Meteorológica
En FCPS, la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes, personal y visitantes es nuestra mayor prioridad, independientemente de en qué temporada estemos. Cuando tenemos frío extremo, monitoreamos las indicaciones del Servicio Climatológico Nacional (NWS, por sus siglas en inglés), ajustamos las actividades al aire libre, y nos aseguramos de que nuestras instalaciones estén a buena temperatura y seguras. Cuando hay calor extremo, cancelamos o modificamos las actividades al aire libre, medimos la temperatura en el sitio para tomar decisiones sobre actividades atléticas, y promovemos la hidratación y la toma de recesos frecuentes para enfriar el cuerpo.
FCPS cuenta con planes que proveen directrices en momentos de clima severo, incluyendo inundaciones y tornados. Las decisiones que tomamos están basadas en el uso de las mejores prácticas de la industria, en alertas meteorológicos y en nuestro compromiso por mantener a nuestra comunidad escolar a salvo y sana, durante todo el año. Lea más acerca de la seguridad meteorológica, incluyendo cuál es la diferencia entre un “advisory” o aviso, un “watch” o alerta, y una “warning” o advertencia.
