Hello Edgewood community and friends. Can you believe we are nearing the end of the first semester?
This school year has gotten off to a wonderful start, despite the near miss of Dorian! Our seniors are
working hard on their senior project papers, and the all-school Musical, Bye Bye Birdie, was a hit
within the community. Mr. Waterman’s theatre students as well as Mr. Franco’s orchestra students put
on quite the performance. This year’s performance included 95 students and was directed by an
Edgewood Senior, Carolina Mangru. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the “Tech”
parents for all their hard work and expertise with building sets and their work behind the curtains.
Additionally, we are so proud of our athletic teams! Our Middle School Girls Basketball team had a
historic run to the playoffs where they lost a hard-fought game to Jackson Middle school. Edgewood’s
Boys golf team repeated as Cape Coast Conference champions! Our volleyball, swimming and dive,
bowling, and cross-country programs all had outstanding seasons in their respective sports. Hats off to
Coach Nate Johnson for being named Cape Coast Conference Coach of the year for golf. Please make
sure you follow us on Twitter @Edge_Athletics, and Instagram at Edgewood_ath. We are now
transitioning to high school soccer and basketball seasons. Here’s to having great seasons on the field
and the hardwood!
I am also pleased to announce that Mrs. Eryn Worcester is our Teacher of the Year, and Mrs. Sarah
Roessler is our School Employee of the Year. These two employees are very deserving as they go
above and beyond for our students each day. They are both in running at the district level for Brevard’s
District Teacher and Employee of the Year.
At this time the choice application window is open, and new students as well as siblings not yet
attending Edgewood may apply for admission. The deadline of December 2, 2019 is a hard deadline.
The waitlist application window will open in the Spring of 2020. Please continue to read the Monday
Report for important information, such as changes, important dates, and other pertinent information.
On a final note, please remember to document your volunteer and community service hours; we want
to make sure our students are eligible to receive Bright Futures Scholarship. Remember, all students
are required to complete 25 hours each school year and families are expected to volunteer a minimum
of 20 hours per family. Feel free to contact Ms. Kimmey in Guidance regarding service learning
opportunities and check out our website at https://www.brevardschools.org/EdgewoodJRSR for any
forms you may need.
Regards,
Nick Stewart
Assistant Principal

School of Choice Info Meetings
We are currently in the process of holding our
informational meetings for new and interested
parents and students. If you know of someone
please pass the information along so that no one
gets left out. PLEASE remember, if you have a
sibling that is planning on attending next year
YOU MUST go through the application process.
▪ Qualified siblings of students currently
attending Edgewood will be offered admission
without going through the lottery process
provided their applications are received and
accepted prior to the published deadline and
space is available for the appropriate grade
level.
▪ New applications or renewals are all online:
www.EIC.brevardschools.org ▪ The sibling currently attending Edgewood must
attend EJSHS next school year.
▪ Sibling applications received after the
application deadline will receive no preference
for admission. Those applications will be
treated the same as any other late applicants.
▪ Parent meetings are scheduled for Tuesday,
Nov. 12th and Thursday, Nov. 14th, 6:00 p.m.
in the cafeteria.
▪ The school tour will immediately follow the
informational meeting.
▪ Deadline for new and sibling applications is
Monday, Dec. 2nd! The lottery will be held
Dec. 16th.
SOC SIBLING APPLICATIONS
Please take notice of the article on the left
concerning siblings and their applications
for next school year. ALSO, in February
we will be sending home the registration
packet for next school year.
Siblings, who meet all requirements for
admission, and have a brother or sister
presently attending the school of choice and
will be attending Edgewood the year the
sibling begins, will be given preference in
the lottery. If the current student withdraws
to attend his/her home school or another
Brevard Public School, before attending the
fall semester, the entering sibling would
lose his/her seat and be withdrawn to return
to his/her home school.
If you are unable to make the commitment
for your current student to remain at
Edgewood, the sibling preference will be
removed and your entering student will be
entered into the lottery drawing.
SGA & BETA are going to combine help and work with Emily Corack on her senior project. Edgewood will be hosting the first ever Speech and Debate tournament. SGA & BETA members will be pages for the day helping with this huge task that Emily has taken on! They will be here from 8 – 5 on Nov 16 serving others.
BETA has been busy getting organized for this year. They have a meeting on Tuesday, Nov 5th to discuss their next service project. They will be helping a senior who is doing an angel tree for foster children. BETA loves to spread the cheer to others during the holiday season because they learn by serving others.

Money to Teachers/Sponsors
Parents are often trying to help their student by
dropping money off that is needed for various
school activities (field trips, purchasing class T-
shirts, class fees, dance tickets, etc.) The student
needs to turn these in directly to the teacher or
sponsor, as they are responsible for the activity.
