Reminders
We had a terrific 100th Day of
school! It was so fun seeing all
our little old friends! And now
that our first graders are
100 days smarter, we are raising our expectations of their academic progress. Please encourage your child to do their best at school every day by making great choices and taking pride in their work. You can help your child by making sure they are well-rested from an early bedtime and are well-prepared with all necessary supplies and homework completed. Good habits start early, and we want our kids at Madison Crossing to be the best in the district! We appreciate your support!
