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.
May 8
- Half-Day for Students: Half day for students, they will be dismissed at 11:10 am today for SIP (school improvement).
- Important 8th Grade Promotion Information: Promotion will soon be here! Congratulations to our 8th grade students! We want our family members to have an opportunity to celebrate their 8th graders accomplishments, but we ask you to do the following:
· If you plan on giving flowers to your child, please hold the flowers until after the ceremony.
· Please do not bring balloons into the auditorium. Balloons block the view of the other guests.
· Please do not have your child dropped off or picked up in a limousine around the perimeter of the school building.
· Please make sure that your child has taken care of any lost textbooks, library fines, lost locks, etc.
· Each family will receive two tickets. On the day of Promotion you will have an opportunity to pick up additional tickets if you have called and have been put on the wait list. Mrs. Lanman will be at a desk as you come in the playground door. Tickets will still be limited. If you know you will not be attending the ceremony and have extra tickets, please email Mrs. Lanman at lanmanan@champaignschools.org
· Entrance to the school will only be available at the playground doors.
· If you have a need for handicapped assistance, please call so we can help make those arrangements.
· The doors will open for seating at 8:30 a.m.
· We understand that our families are tremendously proud of their 8th graders, but we ask that you refrain from clapping while we are giving the students their certificates. We want every child's name to be heard and that cannot be done while others are cheering.
· Due to limited parking on the street, the Champaign Public Library has been gracious enough to allow parking on the east side of their parking lot. However, you will have to enter through the playground entrance. If you need handicapped parking, that will take place on the playground. Please do not park on Prairie Street on the east side. You may get ticketed.
Thank you for a wonderful school year and best of luck for continued success for your child. Looking forward to honoring our 8th grade students on May 24th!
