Madison Elementary School Update

It was a bit of a surprise to wake up to snow on the ground this morning! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful and refreshing weekend. As we transition into colder weather, please remember that students will continue to go outside for recess when there is snow. Be sure your child comes to school with appropriate winter clothing so they can stay warm and comfortable during playtime.

We’ve also introduced a fun new tradition — Random Perfect Attendance Day! Each week, one day is chosen at random, and any class with perfect attendance on that day receives a special reward. Congratulations to Mrs. Riggs, Mr. Reed, Mrs. Teague, Mrs. Gehring, and Mr. Nowak’s classes for earning this recognition last Thursday! We’re proud of their great attendance and school spirit.

As the end of the first trimester approaches, I wanted to keep you aware of some dates coming up.
