The Madison staff works together to enrich the lives of our students. They are always willing to help answer questions and concerns. Don't feel that you have to wait for an official conference to talk to your child's teacher. If you have a problem or just need some answers CALL THEM. Call between 8:15 and 8:45 a.m. to catch them. You may also leave a message with Mrs. Wesselman; the teachers will return your call. We are happy and proud to have such a dedicated, hard working staff at Madison.
