Thomas Edison Elementary School

My child is currently in kindergarten at Thomas Edison! I was worried she might have a hard time keeping up with school work or reading. She hadn't gone to pre-school, just me teaching her at home. We are half way through the year and she is doing great. The kindergarten teachers are all so wonderful! Her teacher is ready to listen and help with any cares, concerns, or just to update you on your child's progress. Thomas Edison carries through with promoting healthy living and a promising future for my daughter.
