Welcome, our New Principal
Mr. Sniezevage!
EDISON OWL PRIDE!
Message to the Class of 2030
Welcome 9th Graders and Families,
We are so excited that you chose to be a part of the Thomas Edison High School 9th Grade Academy. These are a few things that you should know prior to starting at Thomas Edison.
The 9th Grade Orientation is scheduled for Friday, August 21 at 10:00AM. Here you will get a tour of your new school, sign up for sports teams and affinity groups, and handle any last-minute needs before our first day.
Attendance
The first day of school starts Monday, August 24 at 7:30AM. Classes start everyday at 7:30 and go until 2:34. Students should arrive by 7:30 every single day. Doors open at 7:05 and breakfast is served daily. Each student is expected to swipe in with their student ID upon entering the school and MUST have it every single day. Every student will receive one free Student ID when starting at Edison. If you lose it, it will cost $5 to replace. You need your ID to enter the building and to order school lunch.
Dress Code
Edison High School students are encouraged to wear Edison swag. Dress in attire appropriate for the school environment. What you wear is part of your first impression; your first impression is how you are initially perceived. Anything deemed inappropriate may be addressed with clothing lent to the student from the school and addressed through contact with home.
Cell Phones
Edison is a completely cell phone free school. Every student who brings a cell phone to school will turn it in at the front door, and all phones will be returned to students in the order they entered school (so students who are late will receive their phones late).
In case of emergency, please call the main office at 215-400-3900. For the 9th grade administrator, Mr Weston, press option 7, then option 1. You may also call Assistant Principal Weston directly at 267-394-3496.
School Supplies
Please be prepared with a backpack to keep all supplies in, most importantly and specifically your Chromebook. Everyday it should go home with the student and return charged for the next day of school. Please bring your chromebook from your middle school and any individual supplies required by your teachers!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. My work phone number is 267-394-3496 and my email is aweston@philasd.org. Please follow our instagram account @edisonhsowls to stay up to date with our announcements and events!
Sincerely looking forward to an awesome year,
Mr. Weston
