6th Grade Field Trip

On Monday, the 6th grade had an amazing trip to the Museum of Natural History. They journeyed through time, standing in awe of massive dinosaur skeletons that once roamed the Earth. Students had the opportunity to take a trip around the world exploring different cultures and their incredible artifacts. It was a day packed with learning, laughter, and memories that will surely last!

Spring TREP$ Marketplace

Our Spring TREP$ Marketplace was a hit on Wednesday, April 30th! Our middle school enTREPreneurs showcased their new businesses, developed over the past month. The front lawn buzzed with excitement as the school community came out to support them. Thanks to our amazing TREP$ advisor, Ms. Siso, for making it all happen!

Green Team Activity

Green Team was privileged to host an activity presented by Project Community Pride through the YMCA. Ms. McIntyre and Ms. Perconte presented to the students about the importance of a positive mindset and gave examples of situations that students might face where they need to reset their mindset.  They talked about how a positive mindset can improve mental and physical well-being, boost motivation, reduce stress, and fosters a greater sense of happiness and fulfillment allowing people to navigate life's ups and downs more easily.  They then lead an activity where the students painted rocks with positive and encouraging phrases and the students placed them in the courtyard.

Minding Mind Presentation

In partnership with Minding Your Mind, we were excited to provide an educational presentation to our 8th grade students. A professionally-trained young adult speaker came on Thursday and Friday to provide an educational presentation built around their lived experience. This presentation focused on, the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions, that mental health issues are common and treatable, the similarities between physical and mental health, negative vs. positive coping skills and how to ask for help yourself or for a friend.

Technology Reminder about Student Chromebook Usage

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.
