Madison High School News, Notices and Events - 10/29/2018
Progress Reports and Homework Help
The first progress report of the school year was mailed home on Friday, October 19, 2018 and distributed to students during 4th period. If your student needs assistance, they can attend a homework help clinic after school, 2:30-3:30 pm, in the library and get help from teachers. The IMIN after school program also offers a quiet space in room 807 where students can work independently to complete their homework, use computers to access Google classroom, or work on writing projects. If parents have questions about their student's progress, they should contact the classroom teacher (generally, email works best). Teacher contact information is available in the Staff Directory on Madison's website under the About Us section.
