Planning to travel for Thanksgiving? A reminder that students are expected to be in school on November 25 and 26. Travel arrangements should be made that allow students to attend school on these days, as travel is not an excused absence, per FCPS. November 27, 28, 29 are the days school is not in session.
IMPORTANT INFO & EVENTS
Madison Stars
Do you have a reason to celebrate a Madison student this quarter? Many of our students accomplish so many wonderful things both in AND outside the walls and fields of Madison High School. We would love to recognize our fabulous Warhawks for ALL their achievements. To help us recognize as many students as possible for their achievements OUTSIDE OF MADISON HIGH SCHOOL, parents, family members, and community members can submit a Madison Stars form starting Oct. 21 to Nov. 4 for the first quarter.
