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.
Please email borchaja@champaignschools.org with any questions concerning athletics.
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 Boys Basketball, Wrestling and Volleyball:
Any student who is interested in trying out for any of our athletic teams 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.
Required paperwork for Boys Basketball due Friday, October 2, 2015 by 3 pm
Required paperwork for Wrestling and Volleyball due Friday, November 6, 2015 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.
