Relationship Building: A Core Part of Edison

At Edison, relationship-building is a core part of their daily routines, from shaping policies based on community feedback to creating spaces for students, families, and staff to connect and support one another.

Each morning, staff members are intentionally stationed inside and outside the building to greet students and families by name, setting a welcoming tone for the day. These daily interactions help foster trust, openness, and a sense of belonging across the school community.

This year, that trust has allowed them to partner more deeply with families and staff to address challenges and support the whole child and family.
