Military Family Life

The Mad River School District is proud to be a Military Purple Star District, recognizing our continued commitment to engage service members, families, veterans, and students connected to our nation's military. The Purple Star program is designed to help schools respond to the educational and social-emotional challenges that military-connected children face during their transition to a new school. It is our goal to support our military families and military children by removing all barriers that will inhibit their success academically, socially, and emotionally and keep them on track to be college and workforce-ready.
Don't hesitate to reach out to our Military School Liaison or any one of our Military Family Life Counselors.
