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.
The first day of school was fantastic!
Second Day of School: students now have lockers so they may bring their supplies to school.
Start Time: Students are allowed on the black top starting at 7:30 and will be allowed in the cafeteria for breakfast at the same time. We ask that students do not come earlier than this because supervision will not be available.
Cell phones: Students are allowed to have cell phones on their person but they are not allowed to be visible or on during the school day without teacher/and or administrator approval. If you need to get a message to your student please contact the main office.
Snacks/Food and Drink: Snacks and food/drinks will not be allowed in classrooms without teacher approval nor will they be allowed in the hallway. We ask that all food and drinks be put away until students are in the cafeteria.
Band will now meet so students should bring their instruments. Be sure instrument cases have id tags and music books are labeled with student names. Don't forget a pencil!
Jazz Band I and II will meet after school; Thursday just rhythm section and Friday full band.
Drop Off and Pick Up: Prairie Street (west of the school) is one way going north during drop-off and pick-up times. To keep kids and vehicles safe, cars coming from the west (turning left onto Prairie) may pull over on the left side of Prairie, and cars coming from the east (turning right onto Prairie) pull over on the right side of Prairie. Please try to wait for the car in front of you to pull away (instead of trying to pass) as there will be a lot of kids trying to get to the blacktop. Do not drop off on Green Street.
Champaign Public Library change in hours: if you plan to have your child spend time at the Champaign Public Library after school, please note their change in hours. The library will close at 6 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. You can find library information here: http://www.champaign.org/

Extended Hours for Physicals at Carle: Carle Pediatrics and Family Medicine will offer extended hours for school physicals on August 10–13 and August 17–20. This clinic will be available for Carle patients entering kindergarten, 6th or 9th grade and for new students entering the Champaign Unit 4 School District who need a physical by September 1.
Physicals will be provided at Carle Urbana on Windsor, located at 1818 E. Windsor Road in Urbana. You must schedule an appointment to receive a physical. Appointments will be available throughout the day and after-hours on the above dates. No weekend appointments will be available.
Please note insurance will not cover the cost of your visit if you have received an annual physical in the last 12 months. Availability of appointments may be limited. Call (217) 326-1894 between 7 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday to schedule an appointment.
