May is Mental Health Awareness Month, dedicated to prioritizing our well-being and promoting open conversations about mental health. Maintaining positive mental health is essential to everyone’s physical, emotional, and social health, and even education.
If you have questions about mental health, need support, or are concerned about the well-being of someone you care about, reach out to Mrs. Laughlin, Mrs. Schlemmer, or Mrs. Straw by using the EJHS Counselor Sign-Up Form.
Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements for homeroom trivia to promote mental health awareness! See the image below for spirit days for next week.

ATHLETICS INFORMATION

2024-2025 ATHLETIC PHYSICAL NIGHT
Edgewood High School will be hosting the 2024 Physical Night for anyone interested in playing sports for the 2024-2025 school year on Monday, May 13th from 6:00 – 9:00 in the EHS Gymnasium. This will be for any student entering grades 6-12.
We are excited to expand our physicals night with more doctors and stations to help make this a smoother, more efficient process while also allowing you to select a time slot that will best fit your needs for the evening. 

Here are a few items that are important to know before May 13th.
1) Registration – The cost of the physical is $25 and can be purchased through EventLink to complete your registration. We are only taking payment via EventLink for this event so paying ahead of time is important.  Edgewood Physical Registration Link
     -Open the link.
-Select “Athletics”.
-Select the “Physicals Night at Edgewood High School”.
2) Final Forms – We have partnered with Final Forms (see letter) to create a better system for handling athletic physicals and creating a student safety tool for our coaches, athletic trainers, and athletic administrators. For the 2024-2025 school year and beyond all athletes will be required to have a Final Forms account.

So what do I need to do before the EHS Physicals Night?
– If you HAVE Final Forms, you should sign in and update your information for your athlete.
– If you DO NOT have Final Forms, follow the Parent Playbook to set up your account.
Please have this completed before you come in for our EHS Physical Night on May 13th!

Athletic Physicals: Student-athletes must have a completed physical before they may participate in tryouts or practice. A physical dated after April 1 is good for the entire school year. We encourage parents to take advantage of the athletic physical night at Edgewood High School each spring in order to have their student-athletes prepared for any activity they choose to participate in for the following school year.
