Parent Resource Links
Tech Corner
Hello! I am Jenn Langhus, the Madeleine School Media Specialist. I see each one of your kids every week for library and technology classes. Having this position at our school, I have access to many technology tips and helpers for both the educational side as well as the parenting side. I am a member of a few national and international teaching organizations that specialize in technology, as well as a member of the Archdiocese Technology Committee.
The following links are from the columns I’ve published in Footnotes as well as from the previous Media Specialist. These offer you resources both based on technology education, but also, technology tips for parents. Are there specific technology topics that you would eventually like me to feature…please email me at jlanghus@themadeleine.edu.

Counselor’s Corner
Hi, Everyone! I am Carolyn Ullman, the school counselor. My job is to pay close attention to age-specific developmental stages of student growth and the needs, tasks, and student interests related to those stages. I routinely visit classrooms and have created a social-emotional topic and curriculum for each grade level. I collaborate with students, teachers, parents and outside professionals as well as offer individual counseling and coordination of outside services. I have been a regular contributor to the Friday Footnotes since 2012. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please email me at cullman@themadeleine.edu.
