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.

 

Welcome to Edison!  I am Jackie Borchardt the Athletic Director for Edison as well as a Special Ed teacher for 7th and 8th graders.   Please email me with any questions you have concerning  athletics (borchaja@champaignschools.org).  Edison has a very strong athletic department with wonderful coaches.  I have attached a flier with the names/emails of our current coaches.  We will be interviewing shortly for the Head Wrestling Coach and the JV Wrestling coach.

 

6th grade parents:  We offer a competitive 6th grade only basketball team in partnership with the Champaign Park District.  We hold tryouts which are open to 6th grade girls and boys. The selected team will consist of 12 - 15 players.  In the past the games have been played on Monday and Wednesday nights.  This position is voluntary.  If you are interested please send me an email and I can give you more info about the schedule and time frame.

 

Required paperwork for upcoming tryouts for Cheer and Boys Basketball:

For any student to tryout for any of our athletic teams including cheer I must have the following 4 pieces of information on file by the deadline - do not turn in to the main office (scanning/emailing to me is perfect) or dropping the paperwork off in my room (122) works as well:

1.  Completed Champaign Unit 4 form (attached)

            2.  Current physical

            3.  Completed waiver form (attached)

            4.  Copy of your insurance or medical card

 

If you have turned a physical in to the main office please let me know so I can check the date.  I will still need the additional 3 pieces of required paperwork by the deadline.

Anyone wishing to tryout for any of our athletic teams MUST have all 4 pieces of the required paperwork turned in to me (not the main office) by the date found on the attached flier.

 

Required paperwork for Cheer tryouts due Mon., Sept. 14 by 3 pm.

Required paperwork for Boys Basketball due Oct. 2 by 3 pm

 

Upcoming events:

For home basketball, volleyball and wrestling events all Edison students MUST have their school ID to be admitted to the event.  Admission is $1 for students and $2 for adults.  Students are expected to have a ride home 15 min. after the completion of the event.  Students are to leave school at 2:40 then return at 4 pm using door #6.  Students are to enter gym only after receiving an admission ticket.
