Hello Again MBFS Families,

Our school year is racing by, and we now reflect on the many things for which we are thankful for especially in this season of giving thanks.  This is indeed the most wonderful time. The glory of education is the opportunity it gives us to work with you, and your children.  On behalf of Madeira Beach Fundamental, I would like to thank you for your continued support.

We are thankful for the support of the parents in creating an outstanding partnership for our students.    Thank you for having faith in our school.  You share your most valuable possession with us and truly work hard by advocating to be a partner in your children’s education, safety and well-being. Our fundamental school program is strong because of this. You enthusiastically contribute so much to our school too.

Let me say what a privilege it is/ has been to work with the MBFS staff too.  I am grateful for their help and patience.  Working with outstanding educators and dedicated support personnel is always refreshing. We are so thankful that we have been permitted to be of service to others.  I want to share my gratitude and thank you for being such an important part of my life, and for having faith in me, now, my 12^th year at MBFS.

This year has certainly been different, but everyone faces challenges each day. No one goes through life untested and the answer to these tests is positive energy—the kind of positive energy consisting of vision, trust, optimism, enthusiasm, purpose, and spirit that defines our school. I am thankful for the dedicated tireless individuals who go above the expectation to make sure that a great energy, and enthusiasm happens at MBFS.

I would like to wish all of you and your families a happy, healthy and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday!  Thanksgiving Break begins at the close of the student day Friday, November 20^th.  Students will return to school Monday, November 30^th.

Virtual Attendance Matters

Welcome to MadFun MyPCS virtual school. As always, student attendance MATTERS. A lot of things have changed, but one thing has not. Student attendance matters. Every student, every day. Students must follow the regular school schedule and check in for attendance at the beginning of the school day for ES and in each class at the beginning of each period for MS. We do understand there will be times when this is not possible understanding that technology availability and parent support differs from home to home, but let’s do our best to get into a routine.

If you're having connection or technology issues, check out the digital learning page from Pinellas County Schools at www.pcsb.org/digitallearninfo.  Also, help with technical issues is available by calling District Tech Support at 727.588.6060.
