IMPORTANT INFO. & EVENTS
Main Office Closed Over Spring Break. Please plan accordingly.
School Arrival Concerns.
Because an increasing number of students are arriving well after the first bell, some as much as 30 minutes late, we will begin closing the weapons detection entry points and locking Doors 5 and 18 at 8:10 a.m. Students who arrive after 8:10 a.m. will need to enter through Door 1. Please work with your student(s) to adjust their morning routines to ensure they are in class by 8:10 a.m. This change will take effect when we return from spring break.
April is the Month of the Military Child.
A time to recognize children from military-connected families for their contributions and sacrifices. We recognize that children serve too! Madison has almost 100 students who are military-connected! Please show how you care by wearing anything with the color PURPLE on April 15. Madison is also hosting a free “Restorative Family Yoga” session for JMHS military-connected (all branches, Retired, Department of Defense, State Department, Foreign Affairs, and Ambassadors) families on April 15 from 6-7pm via JMHS P.E. teacher and Restorative Certified Yoga instructor Mrs. Beth Gottschalk in the main gym. Please use this link to sign up!
Feel free to contact Kelly Hoffman regarding any questions and/or if you would like to help with the event- kchoffman1@fcps.edu
