FCPS School Year Calendar
Edison Community,
As we officially begin summer break, I want to wish all of our students, families, and staff a wonderful and well-deserved summer. We hope you take this time to rest, recharge, make memories, and enjoy everything the season has to offer. We are already looking forward to welcoming everyone back in August for another great school year.
As part of this message, I’ve also included an image highlighting the one word our staff chose to describe Edison High School during our end-of-year closeout activities. I thought you would enjoy seeing the words that came to mind as our faculty reflected on this incredible community. Together, they paint a picture of the special place we have all been fortunate to call home.
By now, our community should have received communication introducing our interim principal, Ms. Deirdre Lavery. I have had the privilege of knowing Deirdre throughout my career in Fairfax County, and she has served as a mentor to me over the years. I know she will always have Edison’s best interests at heart and will continue to support the strong foundation and important work that is already in place. She will be a fantastic addition to our school community and will do an outstanding job leading Edison while the search for the next principal is underway.
As we move through the summer, please keep an eye on your email in early July for information from our Region Office regarding opportunities to provide input on the qualities and characteristics you would like to see in the next principal of Edison High School. Your voice is an important part of this process, and I encourage all stakeholders to participate.
During the summer, our main office will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. If you need assistance, please feel free to call before stopping by to ensure someone is available to answer your questions and help you.
As I close this chapter, I want to thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving as your principal for the past three years. Trusting me with your children each day has been an incredible honor. Getting to know our students, watching them grow, celebrating their successes, and supporting them through challenges has been one of the greatest joys of my career. I have no doubt they will continue to do amazing things and make a positive impact wherever life takes them.
Although I may be retiring, I won’t be far away. I’ll be checking in from time to time, and you may even see me at a few Edison events. After all, once an Eagle, always an Eagle.
Thank you for your partnership, your support, and for making Edison such a special place. Wishing you all a safe, relaxing, and joyful summer. See you around, Eagles!
Amanda Burke
Principal
 From our staff, the one word they would use to describe Edison!

FCPS will adopt new mathematics instructional resources for Math 6 (middle school only) through Algebra 2 for the 2026-27 school year. A review committee composed of community members, administrators, and teachers met to review materials submitted by vendors. The public is invited to review and provide feedback on the proposed resource.
Access the proposed resource for middle school Math 6 through Algebra 2 in person or on the Mathematics Basal Resource webpage from Saturday, June 13, to Sunday, July 12. Those reviewing instructional materials will provide feedback through a digital form. All community feedback will be shared with the review committee and the Fairfax County School Board before a board vote in July.
Hard copies of instructional materials will be available for review at Willow Oaks Welcome Center, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. If review hours are needed outside of these hours, please email MathBasalReview@fcps.edu.
SAT School Day and PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) exams for the 2026-27 school year will be held at each high school on Wednesday, October 7, at no cost to families. The digital SAT School Day exam is offered to 12th grade students, and the digital PSAT/NMSQT exam is provided to 10th and 11th grade students.
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities and Multilingual Learner Supports
Because these exams are operated by the College Board, students do not automatically receive testing accommodations or multilingual learner (ML) supports.
If you have a student with disabilities entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, please review the accommodations request process and return forms to the high school by Monday, August 3, to request new or updated College Board testing accommodations.
If you have a multilingual learner entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, please review the ML support request process and return forms by Thursday, August 27, if you wish to request ML supports for the October 2026 PSAT/NMSQT or SAT School Day.
