Dear Madison City Schools Family,
One month from today, we will begin the 2020-2021 school year. As I send this email, I know that all of you have questions about the start of school. I can assure you that all of us in the school district are working non-stop to have procedures and schedules in place during this “fluid” time of Covid-19. I promise you we will do everything possible to have a safe and successful school year. I have outlined the adjusted calendar along with our Madison City Schools Reentry Plan in this brief video: https://youtu.be/X3hD5u7jq5o The new calendar, Reentry plan, FAQs, Learning Intent Form, and Stakeholder Questions, can be found on our district website under the Parents & Students link: https://www.madisoncity.k12.al.us/site/Default.aspx?PageID=4644 It is vital to our planning that you complete the Learning Intent Form for your student. This information will help us to organize classes and develop schedules. Over the next few weeks, we will continue to use our task force and other committees to answer more of your questions and establish back to school procedures and schedules. We will also provide weekly updates through our FAQ. I appreciate your patience, feedback, and support of our school district. The best way to communicate your concerns would be to use the links available on our website for stakeholder questions. We would like to address every email we receive, but it is impossible to do so while also holding meetings that consider your concerns and questions. By providing us feedback on our website links, you can be assured your questions will be addressed in our meetings. No matter the challenges that we face this school year, our teachers, staff, administrators, school board, and district team are committed to having a great year for the children of Madison. Thanks, Ed Nichols Superintendent Madison City Schools
