Hello Bobcat Nation!
We hope you enjoyed the long (hot) holiday weekend!
We continue to encounter unusually high temperatures this time of year. As a result, the National Weather Service has issued a “heat advisory” for our area until Wednesday, September 7, at 9 p.m.
We have been closely monitoring this advisory along with consulting neighboring districts.
Below are things being done district-wide to beat the heat:
* 9 of our 12 buildings have operating air conditioning that is running
* Windows are being propped open in the early morning hours to cool off our classrooms
* HVAC fans are running to pull heat out of the buildings
* Teachers are encouraging and providing the added opportunity for students to hydrate often
* Bus windows and roof hatches are being left open as students ride the bus
* All busses allow and are encouraging students to bring a water bottle while riding
We want to assure you that classroom temps are being monitored by district staff during this extended heatwave. The safety of our staff and students remains our highest priority.
With Wednesday slotted to be the hottest day for parents/caregivers, we recommend you send your students with a water bottle and dress in light, loose-fitting clothing.
We will continue to monitor the situation as it unfolds and communicate any changes to affected students/parents/staff.
As always, parents have the right to keep their children home if they believe it is unsafe to send them to school.
Stay cool, Bobcats! Fall will be upon us soon! #wearemadison
CONGRATS to the varsity football team in their 35-8 win over Tooele last Saturday! We are excited for the rest of the season with these amazing Bobcats! Be sure to check them out and cheer them on to another victory FRIDAY NIGNT at Bobcat Stadium against the Blackfoot Broncos!
It is our COMPLETE pleasure to announce that Kelsey Shumway has received the 2022 Creative and
Innovative Teacher Award from the Idaho Family and Consumer Sciences Educator
Association. (Insert horns, glitter, confetti, clapping and all the celebratory noises here)
This award recognizes a teacher who has made a unique and creative contribution to
the FCS curriculum in the past year, has developed or implemented a new teaching idea,
strategy, or a new program designed to keep teaching current and relevant and meet the specific
needs of the students.
The individual that nominated her included in her narrative: "You don't
have to follow Kelsey's school instagram account for long to realize how creative and innovative
she is. From Fashion to Interior Design to Child Development her ideas are fun, engaging, and
creative. She has developed a strong preschool program at Madison High School and her
students, and the preschool students alike thrive in the program. Kelsey is always willing to share
her ideas and it is obvious that she loves teaching."
Congratulations to Kelsey and Madison High School.
She is an (award winning 🥇) asset to the Family and
Consumer Sciences community AND one of the reasons we claim to have the best teachers EVER!
Congrats again on this well earned recognition!
