🚌 4th GRADE FIELD TRIP ALERT🚌
4th Grade classes will be visiting the Stubnitz Center for field trips over the next three days.

If you encounter difficulties this evening, you may send a written note with your child instead. The note should confirm your child’s permission to attend the field trip to the Stubnitz Center and include the following details: the date, your child’s first and last name, their teacher’s name, and your own first and last name.
PARENT PORTAL
IMPORTANT INFORMATION👇
The loads of paperwork that used to be sent home at the beginning of the school year are no longer. All of this is now electronic, and should be done in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. You can get there by clicking the button below.
All of your child's student information is housed here. You can update emergency contacts, change your address, check academic performance, attendance, and much more. It is important that you sign up and complete the registration.
For technical assistance, you may email greg.marten@madisonk12.us.
ATTENDANCE AWARENESS
Even a few missed days can add up. ⏳ Missing just a day or two every few weeks = falling behind in reading and math. Let’s build consistency together. 👉 To learn more, visit https://www.lisd.us/attendance

Merit Trips
How does your child earn a Merit Trip
Students in grades 3-5 have a fantastic opportunity to earn merit trips—exciting field trips organized by each grade level team of teachers. Past merit trips have included fun activities such as roller skating, ice skating, trips to the movie theater, Toledo Mudhens and Toledo Walleyes games, visits to Corner Park, bowling, and more. Your child’s teacher will share specific details each trimester about the upcoming merit trip destination.
At the end of each trimester, students who meet the criteria will be eligible to attend. These trips are designed to reward students for developing the skills and mindset necessary for success both in and out of school. The criteria for earning a merit trip are as follows:
No more than two major behavior referrals during the trimester
No suspensions during the trimester
No more than four countable absences for the trimester
No E’s and no more than one D for the trimester (No more than two N’s for 3rd grade)
Please remember to bring your recorders to school. If you don't have one, you can purchase one for $5 from your music teacher.
TRANSPORTATION HANDBOOK
