This Week's News and Reminders
Welcome Back
We hope that all of our Madison Family had a restful and relaxing break! As a reminder, school resumes tomorrow. We look forward to getting back into our daily routines and are excited to welcome back all of our students. Taking a couple of weeks off is great for a reset, but it also can throw off the routines that were established in the fall. Below are some great tips tp help your student transition back into school mode.
The Lenawee County Parent Advisory Committee is once again recognizing individuals within our schools that are champions of Inclusion. Madison has so many of these individuals. Every building has people day in and day out that just embody being a Champion of Inclusion for our students.
Inclusion is about including and accommodating students with differences. It means supporting an environment where every child feels valued, respected, and safe. This could be a general education teacher, school counselor, administrator, office assistants, cafeteria staff, custodians, etc..

Informational Items
