We can't wait to see some of your hopes and dreams tomorrow! Dress like a career you are considering in your future.
Here are some conversation starters for your family:
1. Are there any careers or professions that you find interesting? Why?
2. What kind of work environment do you think you would enjoy—indoors, outdoors, office, lab, etc.?
3. Do you prefer working with people, data, technology, or ideas?
4. Can you picture yourself in a career where you help people, create things, or analyze information?
Monday kicks off College and Career Week with Hats off to Education!
Here are some great conversation starters for you to use at home:
1. What subjects or activities do you enjoy most in school?
2. Have you discovered any new hobbies or interests lately?
3. What activities or projects make you feel the most excited or proud?
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! Eagle's Nest is tomorrow, Thursday, September 19th from 3:30-5pm. We will have a fun activity for kids and a little gift for those who participate to take home!
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.
Students in Mrs. Ferguson's room at Park Elementary recently made macaroni and cheese. What a fun activity to do with our peers!

MG Elementary PTO has a fun night planned for the entire family! Add it to your calendar!
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!
As we prepare for College and Career week, we are looking to host a variety of speakers in various fields, particularly STEAM. If you would be interested or willing to consider giving us a few hours of your time, please contact Hannah Rowley!
It's time for a Staff Spotlight! Mrs. Becker brings music to life for our students! We appreciate her and are grateful she is part of our LAMP team here at Park! Let's send some appreciation her way!
We are excited to announce a unique and creative project that will involve the entire Park Elementary community! As part of our upcoming STEAM initiative, we are planning to build a large eagle sculpture, which will be made entirely from donated, unused, and unwanted items.
We are seeking all sorts of materials (anything that can withstand the weather!) that you might have lying around the house—no item is too small, too big, or too unusual! Examples of what we are looking for include silverware, gears, springs, nuts, bolts, plastic items and anything else that you no longer need. If it can be repurposed, we want it!
There will be a designated collection box located at the school where you can drop off your items. We will be accepting donations up until our first STEAM night on November 21, 2024.
This project is not only a wonderful way to teach our students about recycling and creativity, but it also brings our community together to create something meaningful and memorable. Your contributions, no matter how small, will help us bring our eagle sculpture to life!
Thank you for your support and participation in this exciting project. We look forward to seeing the variety of materials you bring in and can’t wait to reveal our collective masterpiece on our second STEAM night in the spring!
We are so grateful for our teachers and staff! Stock the Lounge is an initiative that will allow us to further support and encourage teachers by having a variety of items to make available to teachers throughout the school year to let them know that they are appreciated.
We are asking that all items are prepackaged and delivered by the end of the month. Please check-out the link below. If you have any questions, feel free to message directly or comment on the post! Thank you!
