The unified bowling team participated in a regional tournament with several other middle schools.  The Madison Junior School bowling team took home 3rd place and received medals for their hard work.  We are so proud of all of our students and all of their efforts.

Over the past few weeks, work has been completed on the Security Vestibule project at MJS. Great progress is being made and we look forward to having this additional security measure at MJS. Below are some progress pictures of the project.

In Madison, we utilize a 1:1 Chromebook model where all students (grades 6-12) receive a district owned Chromebook to utilize during the school day and at home. While there is no cost for the use of the Chromebook, it is important that Chromebooks be maintained and handled in a responsible way. As we continue to move through the school year, we wanted to utilize this time as a reminder for our students and families about the importance of handling Chromebooks with care to prevent damage to the device. A message was shared over the PA on Friday with our students as a reminder. The district has expectations and protocols that are listed on the district website that we continue to follow at the building level. 

We would like to highlight the specific section regarding lost and damaged chromebooks as a reminder to all parents and guardians:

In the event a Chromebook, case, or charger is lost or damaged beyond repair, parents/guardians are responsible for paying the cost of replacement equipment.

Costs:

• Chromebook - $365.00

• Charger - $47.00

• Case - $20.00

• Other - Will be quoted by the Tech Department

Note: Final assessment of damage and fines is determined by the Technology Department.

Students are also responsible for the care of any loaners they use. Damage to loaners is subject to the same rules as permanently assigned Chromebooks.

In case of theft, parents/guardians are required to file a formal police report with the Madison Police Department.

Below are the direct links from the district website that pertains to Chromebook care and protocols followed for lost/damaged Chromebooks.
