A Note From Mrs. DiSalvo
February 2021
Madill Families:
First and foremost, I would like to thank all of our school community for the support and flexibility throughout this ever changing year. We have almost made it to the half-way point! I continue to be amazed at how resilient our students really are. I look forward to the day when we are all together, under one roof, at the same time. For now we move forward day by day.
If you have had a change of address, email or phone number, please let your child's teacher or the office know as soon as possible. It is important that we have the correct contact information.
Please keep in mind that students don't enter the building until 8:05am daily. Any students who arrive after 8:20 will be marked tardy. Regular attendance is a key component to all students' success.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email, adisalvo@ogdensburgk12.org or by phone at 315-393-7729.
Stay Safe,
Mrs. Amy DiSalvo
Valentine's Day
As we get closer to Valentine's Day, please look for information from your child's teacher regarding classroom celebrations and directions for sending Valentines to school. Part of your child's classroom celebration may include treats. We do have to adhere to the school policy that all home baked goods and unpackaged food will not be allowed. If a student is asked to share a treat with their class, it must be prepackaged, in the original packaging. Thank you in advance for understanding the importance of this policy.
