On Tuesday May 21 we had the opportunity to celebrate our April Student Leaders of the Month. At the end of each month our teachers choose two students from each team to represent their team as Leaders of the Month. A big congratulations to our Leaders of the Month and for all they bring to our MJS ONE Community on a daily basis. Thank you to these students for being great role models within our building.

On Wednesday night we came together as a community to celebrate our Music Department with our Chorus and Orchestra Spring concerts. Our students once again did an amazing job and the night was filled with beautiful music. Thank you to our Chorus Director, Mr. Mallick and Orchestra Director, Mrs. McCormick for continuing to share their love of music with our students and helping them grow as musicians. Thank you to our families for all you do behind the scenes to support your children in their passion to follow their musical journey. Congratulations to our students and directors for a great year of music making!

Seventh graders celebrated the end of their personal narrative writing unit with a special memoir reading. They all have written such  powerful stories about personal change, and it was a treat for students to listen to classmates' memoirs.  Details about the special memoir anthology are coming after the long weekend!

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. 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 and deemed to be intentional, excessive, neglectful or student misuse, 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 are 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.
