From the Superintendent’s Desk:Formula for Success

I am often asked what separates Madison School District from other institutions; what is the formula for success. This question is usually followed up with a comment regarding high district achievement levels despite the obstacles and difficult challenges many of our students face. Once again, after reviewing student achievement data, an independent analyst inquired about Madison’s sustained level of extraordinary success. I tried my best to capture how our faculty and staff at Madison empower students to reach such lofty standards and expectations.

First and foremost, literacy is a priority. Secondly, and although cliché, the district’s Mission (purpose) statement drives what we strive to accomplish each and every day. Each member of the faculty and staff works with students to develop individual excellence through rigor, innovation, and personal attention. However, the students we serve often face challenges that affect their path to academic achievement. Therefore, we must – for each student’s success – implement tiered intervention systems and processes with fidelity. This path to student success begins with assessments, a difficult and time consuming, but very important task. Assessments offer insight to the diverse student population we serve.

The student population at Madison includes a wide variety of academic, social/emotional, and behavioral needs. The continuous process to measure each student’s progress occurs throughout the year at data meetings and student study team meetings, for example. Meetings such as this offer an opportunity to determine a course of action to best serve each student. Multiple data points are collected in order to prescribe specific interventions, supports, and opportunities so that each student is prepared to practice habits of success. These habits may be academic, social/emotional or behavioral in nature.

The process to assess each student requires a lot of training and professional development for faculty and staff. Processes learned by teachers allow them to leverage their time and effort with each student. Implementation of practices aligned with the 3rd grade reading legislation, for instance, required each teacher to participate in hours of training. As a result of these efforts, students are already seeing success as teachers, parents, and students work together. We recognize that each minute we spend with students is valuable, there is no time to waste. We must deliver research-based instructional best practices proven to yield a strong return on investment. I am grateful to those who participate with training, coaching and mentoring. This is one of the many keys to success.

Madison Performing Arts Club Presents Middle School Musical Performances of “Shrek Jr.”

Nasty will be nice, and Madison will be ogre-the-moon when over 50 Middle School students present their musical production of “Shrek Jr.” beginning February 9th.

Madison Middle School Performing Arts Club will have three showings of “Shrek Jr.”: February 9th and 10th at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, February 11th at 2:00 p.m. at Madison Performing Arts Center at 3498 Treat Hwy. Tickets are $5.00 and may be purchased online at www.myschoolbucks.com or at the door. For more information, please email [email protected].

“Shrek Jr.” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). Erin Pifer is directing the play, along with Eric Strasshofer as the Music Director, and Cyndee Risner is the Choreogro-pher and Producer. The family-friendly musical comedy follows the adventures of an ogre named Shrek who sets off on a quest to save a princess from a dragon. However, it turns out that in order to ultimately succeed, Shrek must battle an even bigger obstacle: learning how to believe in himself and open his heart to others.

“Shrek’s unique story of discovery encourages each of us to examine our prejudices, review what we believe to be our limitations and work to better understand ourselves and others. The actors and crew in this production have embarked on a similar journey, as students and teachers with many different inter-ests have learned more about themselves and each other while collaborating towards the common goal of presenting this musical,” says Freddie Gershon, CEO of MTI.

“Shrek Jr.” follows an ogre named Shrek who has learned the hard way that “people hate the things they cannot understand.” For many years he has protected himself from the hurtful actions of those who are scared of him by living as a recluse in a cozy cesspit. One day, his peaceful swamp is disturbed by new tenants: fairytale misfits — including Pinocchio, the Ugly Duckling, the Wicked Witch, Peter Pan, the Three Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf — have been banished there by the villainous Lord Farquaad. In order to gain back his land, Shrek makes a deal with Farquaad to rescue the feisty princess Fiona from a tower guard-ed by a fierce dragon. Setting off with his faithful companion, Donkey, Shrek begins the journey of a life-time filled with adventure, romance, and hilarity.

With music by Jeanine Tesori, book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire, Shrek The Musical is based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks Animation film and the book Shrek by William Steig. The original Broad-way production, starring Brian d'Arcy James as Shrek and Sutton Foster as Fiona, ran for twelve months and received a total of twelve Drama Desk Awards and eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Mu-sical. The musical was adapted to be performed by students by educational musical theatre consultancy firm iTheatrics under the supervision of Timothy Allen McDonald.

Central Michigan 2-1-1 is Here to Help

We all hear about the “tough economic times” we are living in and are waiting for some relief. Unfortunate-ly while we wait, our friends, neighbors, family members and maybe even we ourselves find it difficult to make ends meet. Levels of assistance through the Department of Health and Human Services have been reduced which has left many needing to find help elsewhere and not knowing how to navigate the system. 2-1-1 is the place to turn if you find yourself, or someone you know, needing assistance and not knowing where to turn.

Who Can Use 2-1-1?Anybody. If you're looking for assistance with a problem and you don't know where to turn, or you simply want information on a particular human service issue, 2-1-1 is for you.

When Can I Call?Anytime. 2-1-1 is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

How Does 2-1-1 Work?There are multiple ways to reach the 2-1-1 service. Just pick up your phone and dial 2-1-1, dial 866.561.2500, OR visit http://centralmichigan211.org/home.html .
