Madison is a full dual language school through 3 rd grade. Only two 4 th grade and one 5 th grade English classes remain. We added a 5 th kinder class this school year. This class is being taught 80% in Spanish/20% English. 88.2% of the Madison students are in the dual program.
Madison offers an after school program called Fabulous Friday on every early release Friday. This program is offered by parent volunteers. Approximately 70 students are signed up. Activities include LEGO’s, board games, card games and health and fitness.
Madison did not ask students/parents to bring school supplies this year. Instead, students/parents were asked to pay $25.00. Over 85% of parents have paid this fee and we have not had one complaint. Most have thanked us! Teachers will buy quality school supplies in bulk at a cheaper price.
Madison and many of our elementary schools now have two PE teachers. Students get PE twice each week for a total of 110 minutes. Melissa Ramkissoon (Spanish)
