Have you thought about any extracurricular activities that you want to be part of now that may help you build skills/knowledge for your future career?

For this month’s Social and Emotional Learning moment, the students of Park Elementary got to know each other better and put their name and an image they chose to represent them on the bulletin board. We are grateful for each of our students! #WeAreMG

College and Career Week kicks off next week! Summitville and Park will celebrate the week with a few dress up days. All staff and students are encouraged to take part! It’s never too early for our students to begin thinking about what they might want to be when they grow up! Any day is good day to have these kinds of conversations at home too! There is no limit to what our students, your children, can achieve with encouragement, direction, perseverance and determination!

Don't forget, MG Elementary PTO has two fun events coming up! Add them to your calendar and don't forget to follow Madison-Grant Elementary PTO on Facebook to stay up on all of their events for our students and their families.

A short message from Andy Brown, our K-12 Student Success and Technology Integration Director. We are reaching out to inform you about a new Indiana state requirement affecting attendance for students in grades K-6 along with guidelines for all students K-12. Starting this school year, if a student accumulates 5 unexcused absences within a 10-week period, the school is required to implement an Attendance Intervention Plan. This plan is designed to work collaboratively with families to address and improve student attendance, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed academically. Attached is a document outlining the differences in excused, unexcused, and parent verified absences. We encourage you to review it carefully and reach out to us with any questions or concerns. Your involvement in your child’s education is vital, and we look forward to working together to ensure their success. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

For our August SEL moment, students learned about their classmates, celebrated differences, and were reminded of their important role in our school community as they placed their name and an image they choose to represent them on our bulletin board! We are grateful for each of our students!
