Behind every thriving school team is a principal who leads with vision and heart. During National Principals Month, let's recognize the leaders who make collaboration possible and success achievable! #BePurple
Finally- Mrs. Bork was our Spirit Award winner for this week! She continues to go above and beyond for students and staff to make Madison a better place! Mrs. Bork jumped in to help when a fellow staff member was out and helped transition her teaching partner back just in time for conferences! Thanks Mrs. Bork for all you do!
Ms. Nolan was another spirit award winner at Madison! She has gone out of her way to help with whatever anyone needs across our building on multiple occasions. Ms. Nolan is someone that can be counted on to step in to help without being asked and helps kids even if they aren't in her homeroom because she wants to make our school a better place to be!
Catching up on Spirit Award Winners at Madison!
We have our dynamic duo in the office- Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. McPhillips! They have been amazing the past few weeks helping out with absences and always handling any challenge with a smile! We appreciate them always helping with anything asked!

Parent Survey: We are interested in obtaining information from our parents/guardians related to the PreK-5th grade Holiday Classroom Parties. This survey only takes a few minutes and will help buildings create plans for future Holiday Classroom Parties. Computers will be available in buildings on Thursday & Friday during conferences to complete the survey. The survey will close at 5 pm on Wednesday, October 15th.
