Edison’s Mission
It is our mission at Edison Middle School to work collaboratively to place the focus on the academic, social, and emotional needs of each individual student first and ensure that ALL students are prepared for post-secondary education.
Important Dates:
All School Dance: Friday, February 21 6–8pm
February 21
Dance!! Just a reminder that our last all school dance is this Friday, February 21st from 6-8pm. There will be a DJ, Pizza (and other concessions including TCBY!!). Please send your students with $2 for admission and extra money food and drink. If you are volunteering please report to the cafeteria 10 minutes before 6 so you can get to your assigned station before the dance begins.
Box Top Reminder: Don't forget to get your General Mills Box Tops in to Mrs. Wells by this Friday, February 21st.
Survey: During the week of March 3 – March 7, Edison Middle Schools will have the opportunity to participate in the Illinois Youth Survey (IYS). There is nothing that needs to be signed or returned if you want your child to participate. However, if you do not want your child to participate in this survey, please fill out the form below and have your student return it to their social studies teacher. Even if you allow your child to participate, every student will also be given the choice to participate or not. Please see that attached letter for more information.
National Junior Honor Society: Applications for the Edison chapter of the National Junior Honor Society are now available on the Edison web-site and in the main office. Applications are due to Mr. Cain by February 28, 2014. Current National Junior Honor Society members do not need to complete the applications for this year, but should contact Mr. Cain about their 2013 community service hours. If there are any questions please contact Mr. Cain at cainza@champaignschools.org or 351-3771.
