Veteran's Day Flag Raising Ceremony - November 7th at 7:55 a.m.

On Thursday, November 7th at 7:55 a.m., we will be celebrating Veterans day with our annual “Flag Raising Ceremony.” Our whole school will watch as a local Color Guard marches in and raises our flag. Our school community will then say the Pledge of Allegiance in unison. As part of the ceremony, two student winners of our Veteran’s Day Essay Contest will read their entries. If you are available on the morning of November 7th, please join us in the front of the school. The Flag Raising Ceremony will last about 25 minutes. In preparation for this event we will be closing off the front parking lot for parking.

Lunch Visit Procedures

Lunch visits are limited to two visitors per child and we can accommodate 10 adults per grade level in our visitor seating area. Siblings are not permitted during any lunch visits.

Please follow school rules and procedures for the cafeteria. This includes using designated wait areas, instructions for meeting your student, no photographs or social media postings of other children.

Upon arrival at the school, all visitors must report to the main office. Office personnel will facilitate the process for visitor registration/check in. Your student will meet you as their class enters the cafeteria. We ask that you sit at the designated tables marked "visitor seating" with your student.

After lunch, please come directly to the office, sign out, and return your visitor’s badge.

Birthday in Box Program

The Madison Food & Nutrition Services Department would love to help you celebrate your child's special day by offering birthday snacks for the entire class. Offerings and pricing are able in the attached link or in the front office. Please download the Birthday Celebration form, complete it in its entirety, and return it with cash or check payment to the school cafeteria no later than 7 days in advance for ordering. We can accept orders for the entire school year as early as the first day of school. The last day birthday treats will be served is Friday, May 16, 2025. Parents please don't forget! Outside birthday cupcakes, other birthday treats / snacks, balloons, or party favors are not allowed to be brought to school, as this interrupts your child, teacher, and classmate’s instructional time.
