Happy Substitute Teacher's Day!
Substitute teachers are the quiet strength of a school district, stepping in whenever they’re needed to keep classrooms running smoothly and learning on track. They bring stability during teacher absences, ensuring students continue to grow, feel supported, and stay engaged. Their ability to adapt quickly, connect with diverse learners, and uphold the district’s educational standards makes them invaluable partners in student success.
Substitute teachers not only fill temporary gaps—they reinforce the foundation of the entire school system, bringing reliability, professionalism, and heart to every classroom they enter.

Congrats to our latest Madison Spirit Award Winners- Mrs. Kelly and Miss Nelson! They both consistently go above and beyond to help make our school a better place to be. They have positive attitudes and genuinely love what they do each day. Most recently, both teachers volunteered their time making and serving popcorn at our Madison Movie Night! We couldn't have managed that night without them!
Madison Families! It is not too late! Keep those thankful notes coming!
