CURRICULUM NIGHT AT MADISON!

Thursday, September 21st, 6:00- 8:00 pm

Learn about your child’s school day and what they’ll be doing in class this year!

At 6:00 you will hear a brief presentation from Madison staff in the lunchroom. Then at 6:30 you will follow a mini schedule of your child’s school day, going to each of their classes and hearing from their teachers about the curriculum for the year ahead.

Please remember to get a copy of your child’s schedule from them and bring it with you, and that this event, unlike many others at Madison, is adults only.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

SPS COMMUNITY MEETING – WEST SEATTLE

You are invited to join Seattle Public Schools (SPS) for an upcoming community meeting. During these meetings, senior leaders will connect with the community to envision what a well-resourced school looks like. SPS staff will share a presentation, respond to questions, and facilitate group discussion.

Your feedback will help guide future district planning. This fall, SPS will review your feedback and develop an inclusive and equitable plan.

SPS has the opportunity to reimagine a system of well-resourced schools that is safe and equitable. The goal is to offer students the support, the programs and resources, and the inspiration they need to succeed in the neighborhoods where they live.
