A Word From Our Principal
Dear Edison Students, Families, Staff, and Community,
It is truly an honor and privilege to serve as the principal of Edison Elementary School. I am proud to be part of a community filled with talented students, dedicated educators, supportive families, and many strengths that make Edison a special place to learn, belong, and grow.
Education has always been an important part of my story. As a first-generation Peruvian American, I understand the powerful role that schools can play in a child’s journey. I am also a proud product of the Anaheim Elementary School District, where I attended Clara Barton Elementary School before continuing on to Brookhurst Junior High School and Savanna High School. For the past 15 years, I have had the privilege of serving students and families as both a teacher and administrator. These experiences have shaped who I am as an educator and strengthened my commitment to putting students at the heart of our work.

School & District Parent & Family Engagement Policies 2022-2023
Research indicates that Parent and Family Engagement (PFE) help children achieve high academic standards. When schools work together with parents in school activities, and both schools and families engage in shared decision making regarding children’s education, students are more likely to acquire literacy at faster rates.
The links below contain the AESD and Parent & Family Engagement Policies. The policies are jointly developed with parents to establish objectives for meaningful parent and family involvement. (20 U.S.C. sections 6312, 6318[a][2])
