Dear Amazing Families of Madison Park,
It is hard to believe that we are halfway into September. The students and staff have done a great job of settling into our routines and starting the year off right.
During Advisory classes students will continue implementing Lexia PowerUp, PowerUp is a computer-based program that adapts instruction to the specific needs of our middle school learners. The activities in PowerUp support reading skills in three areas: word study, grammar, and comprehension. Talk to your child about their progress in PowerUp by asking them about their favorite strands, passages or activities. Help to celebrate their success when your child completes a level!
As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can help them achieve their full potential.
Remember to encourage your child to demonstrate pride in our school by wearing “Blue and Gold” every Friday!
Best regards,
Parental Reminders - Foods at School
As part of the district’s Student Code of Conduct, students are not permitted to sell any type of “snack” items at school. Students are also not permitted to share food items that they bring to the school with other students. We have students with food allergies and with dietary restrictions so it's important that students are not sharing any food. We need everyone to work together to ensure students are following our expectations. prohibited (See Madison Elementary School District policies and regulations JIC).
Parent/Guardian Supervision Required at School Events and Athletic Competitions
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to welcome you and your child to participate in the many extracurricular activities and athletic competitions that Park Middle School offers. These events are a great source of pride for our school and district community, and we value your involvement and support.
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone during these events, we are continuing our practice of requiring that a parent or guardian accompany and supervise their child if they plan to attend as a spectator at any extracurricular or athletic event, whether at home or away.
Please note that this requirement applies only to spectators. Students who are actively participating in a club or athletic team, and are under the supervision of their coaches or sponsors, are not required to have a parent or guardian present. However, for students who are simply attending as spectators, we need a parent or guardian to be present for the duration of the event to ensure proper supervision.
Safety is our top priority, and often, extracurricular events and athletic competitions do not have enough staff available to monitor spectators closely. While club sponsors, coaches, and administrators work to ensure the smooth running of these events, additional supervision is necessary to maintain a safe and family-friendly environment.
We ask that all parents/guardians attending these events be actively engaged in monitoring their child’s behavior to help create a positive, respectful atmosphere. These are school-sponsored events, and we expect everyone in attendance to model appropriate behavior and language to maintain a welcoming experience for all.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all members of our community.
