Heights Happenings

December 9 - 13, 2024

Museo Viviente

On Friday, 12/13/24, Madison #1 Spanish Immersion students will return to Heights to deliver presentations to Heights 2nd - 4th graders in Spanish as part of the Museo Viviente (Living Museum). This is a great opportunity for our students to learn about historical figures and practice Spanish with older students.

Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found located in the Cafeteria is getting pretty full. If your student is missing water bottle, jacket or sweater please come by and take a look! We will be donating any leftovers to a local charity.

We’re excited to let you know that we’ve added new books to our library. To keep you in the loop, we’ll be listing these titles on our website for the next sixty (60) days. The review period will start on December 9, 2024 and end on February 8, 2025.

If you have any questions or need more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your involvement and support!

Join us for our December PTO Meeting, on December 17th, 6 to 7 PM. We will be assembling care packages with a local nonprofit to support those in need. Let’s celebrate and give back together!

We’d also like to use this opportunity to learn about different holiday traditions within our Heights community! If your family has a holiday tradition you would like to share, such as a favorite dish, activity, or special tradition, then we’d love to see it!

Please RSVP with the number of people attending on the 17th so we ensure we have enough pizza for everyone. If you’d also like to share a holiday tradition, please include a description in the designated box, so we can set up a table/space for you to showcase your tradition.

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.

Thank you!

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.
