Tomorrow marks the beginning of Fall Cross Country & Football practices, with students coming back to school on Wednesday!
A reminder that coaches will be at the facilities 30min prior to the start of practice. Practice times are when athletes should be dressed & on the field/track as that is when we'll begin.
Drug testing for HS Athletics & Band is at 10am on Tuesday at the locker rooms.
RankOne: Parents of HS students: if you have not logged in, claimed your child(ren) and complete their PAPF, we must have that completed by the end of day on Tuesday. If you are having issues or were not at the meeting, contact Coach Shelton (jeff.shelton@edencisd.net) to set up a time where we can complete this process. Any HS athletes who don't have this process completed before Wednesday will be unable to practice.
JH athletes will only work out during 8th period this week once school begins. After school practices for JH will begin the week of August 10th.
REMINDER: JH & HS Cheer, Cross Country & Football pictures will be on Monday, August 10th starting at 6pm.
Let's have a great start to our 2026-2027 school year!

Parents please bring your phones as we'll need you to log in to a new program required by UIL in order to ensure your child can participate! See everyone on Thursday #EARNtheRIGHT


Drug testing permission forms & Athletics Expectation forms will be given to students who are at workouts this coming week, and there will be copies at the front office if you want to pick them up & bring back to the meeting - we will also have blank copies at the parent meeting. These items will be the last of the paperwork that will need to be filled out for the upcoming year
The last full week of summer for 2026 has arrived! Attached is the schedule for the week. No organized workouts in the evenings, but the weight room will be open in the mornings so that those who have been lifting can keep getting their lift in (& it's never too late to get started again).
Football equipment issue will be by grade, as indicated on the schedule.
The parent/athlete meetings on July 30th are for all sports for the year. UIL has rolled out a new RankOne system that all parents must log in to in order for their child to participate (including practice) & we will go through that process together in those meetings, as well as going over the athletic expectations for the upcoming year.
Mandatory drug testing will take place on August 4th at 10:00am. In order to participate in athletics, this drug test must be taken. If missed, parents can choose to have their student tested at their expense, or the student will not be allowed to participate until the next round of drug testing (we do not know when that will be).

Morning summer cross country workouts continue this week in the mornings. It's not too late to get a jump on the season (& will include lifting).
Have a great week!

The Crossroads of Texas begins in the heart of Texas, where the small town of Eden sits at the crossroads of Highways 87 and 83. From there, we head north through the rolling ranchlands, passing the waters of O.H. Ivie Lake and winding along Kickapoo Creek Road before the skyline of Dallas–Fort Worth rises on the horizon—eventually leading into the hustle and bustle of the big city. Turning southeast, the highways carry us through the towering pines and peaceful forests of East Texas, where the landscape grows taller and the road seems endless. Emerging onto the Gulf Coast, the vibe of our journey shifts into a lively adventure groove, capturing the energy, charm, and rich cultural influences of Coastal and South Texas. Our journey then bends west across the open plains and vast horizons of West Texas before finally returning to the familiar heart of the state. As the miles fade behind us, every road leads back to where it all began—The Crossroads of Eden, Texas.

As we prepare for a great school year, we want to remind all families that every returning student must complete the annual registration process through ParentPortal before the first day of school. The ParentPortal is currently inactive as we're getting ready for the new school year, but it will be available again starting tomorrow morning. Please log in and complete all required forms as soon as possible.

Hi Everyone,
Attached is the workout schedule for this week. This will be our last week of organized workouts for the summer.
Important dates to remember:
July 30 - Athletics Parent/Athlete Meetings (we'll have paperwork to be signed).
(6pm - incoming 6th/9th grade)
(7pm - incoming 6th through 12th grade)
August 3 - Fall practices officially begin.
Have a great week!

I hope everyone is having a relaxing summer. As always, it fly's by WAY too fast!
I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone NEXT MONDAY (Jul 20) for instrument checkout! This is for ALL BAND MEMBERS (including people with instruments already checked out over the summer). There will be just a little bit more to do then just instruments.
Below is our schedule for summer band, as well as for the year to come. If anything changes, you all will be the first the know!
Any questions can be directed to corey.dechaine@edencisd.net
Let's go Bulldogs and let's go Big Blue Band from Bulldog Land!
- Corey DeChaine

If you need the code for a group - for instance, your JH student from last year is going into HS, or you are new to athletics (incoming 6th grade) - now is the time to ensure that you are in the correct group.
If you want to be removed from a group, or need a code to join a group, just email Coach Shelton (jeff.shelton@edencisd.net) and ask for the code you need or tell him the group you need to be removed from, and include the name of your child.
Thank you!

Attached is the workout schedule for this week. We'll be short staffed on Thursday, so there won't be gym for the girls, only weight room from 6:30pm-7:15pm.
The UIL has new regulations regarding workouts in the heat, and as always, we will follow UIL rules - it will be one of the bigger changes we'll see this year, especially in August. Here is the link to the UIL guidelines:
https://www.uiltexas.org/health/info/2026-2027-heat-stress-athletic-participation-required-plan
One thing to help parents plan appointments on Mondays once schools starts: from August 3rd through Labor Day (September 7th), all Monday workouts will be finished no later than 11am. After that point, we'll take it on a week to week basis, but if the forecasted temperatures are low enough no practices on Mondays will begin before 3pm starting September 14th.
We will continue with no practices before 3pm for the rest of the school year. These policies will apply to both HS & JH practices.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone as we prepare for our upcoming school year!
