Madison Middle School

We hope everyone enjoyed a festive Halloween! Students showed off their creativity with some fun costumes last Friday — click to see more highlights.

This week, families should receive report cards in the mail, but remember you are always able to check grades online from Parent Portal. This is a great time to check in with your student about their progress in their classes. Reviewing grades on the Parent Portal and looking over planners together can open meaningful conversations — not just about scores but their learning. Parent-teacher conferences are coming up on November 19th and 20th, and sign-up information will be shared soon, but please reach out to teachers anytime if you have questions about your student's progress in class.

Remember, after this week we’ll have a four-day weekend in observance of Veterans Day. We hope everyone enjoys the extra time to relax, recharge, and spend time with family before we head into a busy and exciting few weeks leading up to winter break.

Have a great week!
