The Mustang Round Up
The Monthly Newsletter for MCMS
April 2020 Newsletter
During this time of so much uncertainty, we want to make sure we send one message of which we are sure: The health and safety of the Madison County Family is the most important thing during this time, and even though we are all adjusting to working and studying from home, we are going to move through this time together and be stronger as a result.
We hope you and your family are safe, healthy and are able to stay connected to your support network as we all join together to move through this difficult time. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers, school counselor, and/or administrators during this time. Our faculty and staff are still working each school day from home!
