Message from the Principal
This weeks events/highlights:
Hi Mustang Families,
- It's Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week!!! This week is an opportunity for us all to continue to work on making gratitude an important practice in our lives. Our faculty and staff work tirelessly every day to do amazing things on behalf of our students, families, and community. One of the greatest joys of being a principal is getting the opportunity to see all the work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure our students are loved and cared for. We have an amazing community here at Madison, and they do it all because they love working with kids and want to have a positive impact on their lives. This is a great week to show them just how much you appreciate what they do for kids every day, even something simple like a short thank you message (or maybe even a Starbucks gift card) goes a long way to reminding our people how important they are to us all. If you'd like please go ahead and submit a short note of gratitude to one or multiple members through this google form and we'll make sure it gets to the recipient: Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week Messages.
- State testing season is well underway. ALL of our students did an amazing job last week with the Smarter Balanced Assessment for English/Language Arts. This week ALL students will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessment for Mathematics. Please speak with your student about coming to school well rested and prepared to do their best. The test is taken electronically so please make sure students check and charge their chrome books prior to school on Tuesday. This should be a daily practice, but a reminder never hurts! It's also a good time to talk about test-taking in general, which we consider an important life-skill for our kids. Here's a link to an article with some resources on Test-Taking Strategies.
That's it for this week! As always, if there is anything your child or your family needs support with please do not hesitate to reach out and we will do whatever we can to support you.
Sincerely,
Mr. Walanski
IT'S TEACHER AND STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK!!!
