Greetings Madison Families,
While January is a shortened month, we have many great things happening at Madison! Parents are invited and urged to attend multiple events to share your feedback, add your input, and solve school wide issues to ensure Madison is on track to meet the needs of our students!
This month our school has been invited to apply for the California Community Schools Partnership Program Grant, this grant would allocate over a million dollars to our school over a 5 year period. In 2021, the California legislature passed the California Community Schools Partnership Act. The legislature expanded the program by adding funds and extending program to 2031. We are excited to be able to apply for this opportunity to bring more community based partnerships, programs, and services to Madison.
We need your help! Your voice and partnership is critical to ensuring our site is granted with the funding.
Please save the date and plan to attend either virtually or in person on one or more of the following dates:
- Jan 23 Important Madison Annual LCAP/Community Schools Input Meeting 6:00 PM Virtual and In person
- Jan 24 Madison Community School Listening Session 3:30 PM in person and virtual
Additionally, Measure J is a School Improvement Bond coming up on the San Leandro March 05 ballot! Highlights: New playground and matting, renovate our turf field, roof replacement, school security, and updated technology!
PeaceMakers is a Soul Shoppe program promoting excellent and high standards for how students navigate conflict, disagreements, friendships, and sense of belonging! We have 35 PeaceMakers in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades who are training with Principal Smith and VP Hill to go out and promote a pathway to peace at recess and in class. My favorite quote, "Madison is a "chill" school." Many students in the program commented that they feel included, cared for, and valued at school. With that being said, our students named concerns with navigating students who become frustrated, angry or sad sometimes. They really want to help their peers! |
