Madison Families,
As we welcome the month of May, it’s hard to believe we have just about seven weeks left in the school year! Spring has brought sunshine, energy, and so many exciting opportunities for our students. We’re looking forward to a joyful stretch ahead filled with end-of-year celebrations, field trips, and special moments together, including McTeacher Night on May 14th and our annual field day and school BBQ in June.
At the same time, we remain focused on strong, high-quality instruction—ensuring every student continues learning and growing right up through the last day. Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to finish the year on a high note!
May is also when our 3rd through 5th graders get to show what they have learned on our state tests. Testing starts at the beginning of May and will wrap up before Memorial Day Weekend. You play a vital role in helping your child feel confident and ready for testing. Here are some ways you can support your child during testing:
-
Get a good night’s sleep: a well-rested mind is better able to focus and perform.
-
Eat a healthy breakfast: a nutritious meal in the morning fuels the brain and helps with concentration. Students can arrive 30 minutes before school for a FREE breakfast.
-
Arrive on time: being at school on time helps reduce stress and sets a positive tone for the day.
-
Encourage your child: a few kind words of encouragement can go a long way in boosting confidence.
-
Avoid scheduling appointments: please try to avoid any planned absences during testing days.
Remember, your feedback and thoughts are always welcomed. If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Heather Holter, Madison Principal
