[Edison-PTSA] EDISON PTSA ANNOUNCEMENTS–AUGUST 21ST

Edison Middle School PTSA Announcements

Champaign, IL 61820-5099

Phone: (217) 351-3771  Fax: (217) 355-2564

 

 

 

WELCOME BACK !!!

 

(Below are welcome back letters from Justin Uppinghouse, Julie Wallace, and Tony Howard)

 

Dear Edison Middle School Parents/Guardians,

 

 

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our Edison Middle School families! I look forward to a challenging and successful year and am excited to continue my role as the Principal at Edison.  To all of our new families, I look forward to the amazing opportunity of working with you and your children. To all of our returning families, I thank you for your continued support of the programs taking place at Edison Middle School. Your continued support allows for our teachers and staff to meet the needs of our students year after year. I am a firm believer that being visible and accessible is important in the role of a school administrator, and one of my goals for the year is to build relationships with each student and his/her family. 

 

During the 2012-2013 school year, Edison's main goals are going to be to provide students with a safe, exciting, and rigorous curriculum; and, to improve our communication with parent/guardian(s).  Should you have any questions, or would just like to introduce yourself, please feel free to contact me at (217) 351-3771 or email me at uppingju@champaignschools.org.  I look forward to another successful school year and hope that your family has a positive experience while attending Edison Middle School.



Sincerely,

Justin Uppinghouse

Principal

Edison Middle School

 

"What would you like to be when you grow up?  Would you like to be a nurse, a professional athlete, a scientist or an astronaut?"   My reply was always, "No, I would like to be a teacher like my Mom and Dad!"  Becoming a teacher and then an administrator is one of my greatest achievements!  My journey in education began when I was an infant.  A classroom and a gymnasium became my second home.  An Assistant basketball coaching position at the University of Illinois brought my family to Champaign.  While in Champaign, I attended Champaign Central High School.  My memories as a student in Champaign Unit #4 are very special.  Champaign Unit #4 provided me with exceptional teachers, a warm and caring classroom environment, and great friends. 

 

I have taught and continue to work with some of the finest educators in the country.  They are a group of individuals that are very knowledgeable in their fields, cooperative, competitive, innovative, and teach their students not only reading, writing and math, but real life lessons that will help them grow into positive members of society.  I love the students here at Edison Middle School!  I love teaching!  I love being the Associate Principal at such a fine school!  It is rewarding, exciting, challenging and I am enthusiastic about having the opportunity to work with your child.  I wish them much success and growth this year at Edison Middle School!  I hope their memories and history will be positive and just as rewarding as my experience has been!

 Julie Wallace

Associate Principal, Edison Middle School

 

Dear Edison Middle School Parents/Guardians:

 

It is with great pleasure that I am able to welcome you and your student(s) to the 2012-2013 school year at Edison Middle School. I hope that your summer has been filled with fun family activities enjoyed at a leisurely pace under beautiful, blue skies filled with sunshine.  It is amazing how quickly summer concludes and our thoughts turn to eagerly preparing for the commencement of another school year.  This is always an exciting time of the year! As the Assistant Principal, I am looking forward to meeting all of you and forming strong and positive partnerships.

 

To our students, I ask that you reflect on your goals and strive not only to pursue personal excellence, but also to demonstrate your perseverance and integrity. Know that I am here to support and encourage you as you explore different possibilities and grow as learners. Remember that with these opportunities, comes both a personal and collective responsibility to be supportive of one another. I will count on you to go beyond tolerance and treat all members of our community with respect. A school that aspires to greatness can expect no less.

 

In conclusion, I would like to extend my personal gratitude to the whole Edison school community for your warm welcome this past year. I look forward to working together with you to provide a quality educational experience for your children in a safe, supportive, and caring environment. Should you have any questions or concerns, or would just like to introduce yourself, please feel free to contact me at (217) 351-3889 or email me at howardto@champaignschools.org.

 

 

 

Affably,

Tony Howard

Assistant Principal

Edison Middle School
