Madison Family,
I want you to know I see the major ups and downs people are experiencing. This year is bringing with it even more challenges in student readiness in both academics and behavior. You are doing an incredible job. On those days or in those moments where it doesn’t feel like things are going well, please feel free to put all down, sit down, and give yourself a break. My reward for a crappy day was YouTube Jeep videos. Take those moments – take a lot of them if you need to. Call for a candy delivery or a bathroom break. You’re human and we all have moments where’s it’s too much. Just like some of our kids get regular breaks, adults need them too. You’re doing incredible things everyday.

MADISON INFORMATION
- Focus Slides for October 4th – 7th: Here is the link for the slide show with all the Focus content for next week. The purpose of the week’s lessons is to review behavior expectations, learn about the dress code, reflect on the impressions we make on other people, and to have some fun together. We will beautify the slides a bit, and add a video link to Wednesday when our EPIC dress code video is done. Please see a Climate team member if you have any questions about content for next week.
- Staffing Update: COVID Utility EA: We are hiring a 6.5 hour Covid Utility person. This is a classified position. Although it says people need to be Highly Qualified, the district is waiving that requirement for hiring right now. Instead anyone who isn’t already HQ will be offered an opportunity after being hired to complete a basic skills test to meet HQ status.
- GLT: TLC Rep will reach out to you to find the best time to meet
-
EasyCBM Window Sept. 27 – Oct. 14: Math will be done in Focus class the week October 11th.

Staff Check In: Let us know who deserves recognition this week!
DISTRICT INFORMATION
- Talent Ed: Normally we’d be talking about getting self-assessments and goals done in Talent Ed, but there is talk of reducing some of the requirements for this year. I’m waiting until we have final word on what will be required this year before sharing a set of goals staff can just copy and paste.
- Last Chance! Vaccination Verification: If you haven’t yet completed the Google form here to verify your vaccination status, please do so ASAP (I haven’t done it yet either, so no judgement here!). I’ll be personally connecting with staff who haven’t yet completed the form.
