Madison Staff,

Here are this week’s updates:

MADISON INFORMATION     

• SCIP Plan: Our finalized SCIP plan is linked here. It’s due this Friday, so this is your last opportunity to share any feedback or ideas with me before it is submitted. 
• EasyCBM: The Spring window for easyCBM reading and math tests is now open. All students need to be tested, this round. IN the winter, we only needed certain students. Thank you to Mr. Miller for helping out by proctoring the 8th grade reading tests to 8th graders, so that Misty and Katie can focus on state testing.
      

DISTRICT INFORMATION        

• Repeat: Parent Survey: I sent the following email to families this week. The district is seeking feedback from all families about the superintendent’s three priorities: communication, well-being/safety, and meeting the needs of underserved populations. If you could send the info below in Seesaw as well, I would appreciate it! Here’s a link to a pdf of the survey so you can see what’s being asked.
  • Dear Families,We are looking for your feedback to improve our school and our district systems. We would love to hear from you! Please complete the survey below which asks for your input on how we communicate with you about your student’s progress, our school’s climate and culture, and opportunities for parent involvement. We are in the process of drafting a new school improvement plan. Your feedback will help us better target our goals around these three areas.

• REMINDER! Confirm your dependents with OEBB!: Please don’t forget about confirming your dependents with OEBB. Licensed staff should have received something in the mail by now with steps to confirm your dependents. If you don’t submit the required paperwork, your dependents will lose their benefits. Contact Jaime Meyers, the licensed benefits coordinator, if you have any questions.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING AND OTHER INFORMATION   

• The New Slang: This week’s new word is homie hopper. A homie hopper is a person who “hops” from one person to another where the people they choose to date are within the same group of friends. Urban Dictionary says it became a word in 2013. Not sure why I’m so far behind the times…
  
  

Looking Ahead:

We hope you have a wonderful week!
