MAE JAG BLAST, AUGUST 2024
Message from the Principal:
Greetings Families of Madison Avenue Elementary School,
August finally is here! We are elated that you made the choice to entrust your children to our care for the 2024-2025 school year. Getting back into the swing of things with a structured routine in August means morning/bedtime routines and planning for lunch and snack. We need every student to start in school and stay in school. We look forward to seeing all of our students each day. Let's start the year off with a strong daily attendance rate across all grade levels.
We look forward to continuing our PBIS tradition at MAE this year. There is one school-wide change parents need to be aware of as we plan for the year. The school will not purchase Kingdom tshirts for students this year as we have in years past. With input from staff, we have decided to wear the color of the Kingdom on Mondays. Students are asked to wear the color of the Kingdom they are assigned to in any shape form or fashion they have it to wear on Mondays each week as a sign of unity and sense of belonging in our school community.
Please join the Remind group for your child's teacher to stay updated on what's going on around campus. Read the class newsletter each week for important information and stay in communication with your child's teacher throughout the school year. Thank you for partnering with us this year to help your child reach new levels of success.
Dr. Kristal Epting
Principal
