Tuesday, September 22, we will begin checking the IDs of all feeder Academy students. They are expected to wear their academy lanyards with the ID when entering the building to speed along the entry process. We have been putting identifiable stickers on the new FCPS Transportation ID cards. We are also giving an Edison Academy lanyard to all students who attend the academy, who are not Edison High School students. If a student has not received their FCPS ID cards, have them check with the main office of their base schools.
