THIS WEEK AT MADISON WEEK OF 10/23/23 IMPORTANT INFO & EVENTS

Dear Madison Families,

The following communication is not the result of something specific that has happened at Madison.  It is an effort to proactively support our communities during challenging times.

The recent violence in the Middle East has been devastating to watch, both on the news and on our social media feeds. It has also had a deep impact on our community, as many of our students have family members who have been affected by the violence. Madison is a place of diversity, and we celebrate the beauty of the cultures and traditions that our students bring from all over the world. However, when violence occurs in other parts of the world, it feels very personal to our community. Our schools must be safe spaces for all students. This is why we are committed to denouncing all acts of antisemitism, Islamophobia, and hatred in any form. We will not tolerate such acts in our school. Instead, we must hold on to our shared values of empathy, compassion, and respect for all people. We understand that students need to be able to share their thoughts and feelings about what is happening in the world, and how it is impacting their lives. Madison staff are committed to creating a school where all students feel safe and belong, and where every student's identity is valued. Madison’s mental health professionals are prepared to respond in support of any student who needs it. 

Sincerely,

Liz Calvert, Principal

Food Deliveries

  • Parents are welcome to drop off food for their student in the main office on the ‘I Forgot Shelf.’ For safety reasons, food deliveries are NOT permitted throughout the school day. The front office will not accept any deliveries and Security will turn away any drivers who attempt to make a delivery.

Cell Phone/Airpod/Headphone/Smartwatch Use

  • We have seen an increase in classroom distractions from electronics over the past few weeks.  We have asked staff to revisit these expectations with students and ensure that students are attending to tasks in the classroom.  We ask that parents talk to their students about these expectations.  As a reminder and in line with the Fairfax County Public Schools SR&R, students will not be permitted to use their cell phones during class unless permitted by the teacher for instructional purposes, this includes using Airpods, smartwatches or headphones. Research shows that managing phone use during class time supports students’ attention and ability to fully engage in their learning. Learn how to use the schooltime function on an Apple Watch.

🗓️ Attendance Tip: Scheduling Family Trips or Events

Good attendance is an important life skill that will help students succeed in school and beyond.

When scheduling trips or family events, try to use weekends and school holidays, and refer to the FCPS Calendar when planning. Every day of learning is a day toward success. Keep in mind that absences add up quickly. Students who are absent 10% of the school year (or just two days per month) are considered chronically absent.

When possible, schedule appointments for your child outside of school hours. If your child needs to miss school because of an illness or another reason, you must report the absence to their school. Most schools have links to their attendance email or notification systems on their homepages. If you are unsure how to report an absence, please call your school’s front office.

Watch this video with tips on understanding our school calendar and visit our Attendance webpage for additional information. Attend today, achieve tomorrow!

FCPS DIVISION MESSAGES

Students Are Learning Every Day

  • As you plan upcoming trips and other family events, please remember the importance of sending your child to school every day. Review the FCPS School Year Calendar and try to plan any time away during long breaks from school. 
  • Children who show up for school regularly develop fundamental reading and math skills while building a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers. Research shows that children who were chronically absent (missing 18 days or more) in kindergarten and first grade were far less likely to read proficiently at the end of third grade.
  • Read more about how families can help form good attendance habits.

We work to ensure school is a place where students feel safe and can be themselves. We do not tolerate hate speech, racist speech, bias, or acts of discrimination in our school. We want all students to feel a sense of belonging. We want to see all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

THIS WEEK AT MADISON WEEK OF 9/5/23 IMPORTANT INFO & EVENTS

Underclass Picture Day

  • School Picture Day is coming Thursday, September 7 & Friday, September 8. Images will be available to view and purchase approximately two weeks following our school's picture day. Save time and pre-order online here.
  • We are looking for 2-3 parent volunteers to help with pictures. Email Ms. Taylor at [email protected] if you are interested. 
  • For questions about ordering school pictures please email [email protected] 

Attendance Reminder

  • The beginning of the school year is the best time to develop strong attendance habits. Students who attend school regularly and punctually are more likely to perform well in reading and math, develop strong social and emotional skills, and graduate on time. Now that most student schedule conflicts have been worked out, students are expected to be present and on time for every class. Administrators will follow up with students demonstrating patterns of being absent or tardy to class. Parents can access their student’s attendance records through ParentVue.  Our attendance office procedures, policies, and contact information can be found on our website here. 

Health Information and Emergency Care Forms

  • The Health Information Form (HIF) (SS/SE-71) and the Emergency Care Information form (SS/SE-3) provide valuable information regarding student health conditions. These forms are critical in the early identification of students who may need healthcare support in the educational environment. Along with the development of Healthcare Plans (HCP) and Action Plans, the Public Health Nurses (PHNs) utilize the information contained in the HIF to develop teaching strategies for FCPS staff in order to meet the requirements of Regulation 2104 Health Services-School Health-Related Needs.
  • For SY23-24, these forms will be required for all students. Enrolling parents/guardians who have a SIS ParentVUE account may submit them electronically by using the Online Verification/Update packet. 
  • For families without SIS ParentVue accounts, forms can be located in the Back to School packets and on the General Registration Forms page. 

Student Rights and Responsibilities 2023-2024

  • The Student Rights and Responsibilities document is now available and explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety to create a fair, equitable and supportive school environment.  All students will engage in a lesson about the SR&R next week.
  • Every parent/guardian is asked to sign to acknowledge review of this document either by logging on to your SIS ParentVue account or by signing this signature sheet and returning it to Madison by September 29, 2023.
