Spring Sports Are Almost Here!
As we wrap up an exciting Boys Basketball season and get close to finishing Performance Dance, we’re already looking ahead to spring sports at Edison Middle School!
At the middle school level, the Sioux Falls School District offers:
⚽ Soccer – 8th Grade Only
🏃♂️ Track & Field – 7th and 8th Grade
We’re excited for another season of growth, competition, and maybe even some record-breaking performances!

Congratulations to our January Students of the Month for kicking off 2026 as true Edison leaders. You live out the Edison DREAM every day through your character, kindness, and hard work, and our school is better because of you. We’re so proud to celebrate you!
Friday, January 23, 2026, will be a Remote Learning Day in the Sioux Falls School District!
iPads and Chromebooks were sent home with each student earlier today. We will not have in-person learning in the schools, but students are expected to connect to their Canvas account from home for assignments and learning resources. They have practiced this at school and know what is expected of them.
Additional information for Students and Families can be found here: https://app.smore.com/n/wgz62

Take a look, Edison families! These are the current items in our Lost & Found.
Students have until the end of next week to claim anything they’re missing before items are donated.
Lost & Found is set up by the north doors (near the cafeteria) for easy viewing.
Encourage your student to swing by and check for coats, water bottles, hats, gloves, lunch boxes, and more!
Thanks for helping us get these items back home where they belong
