Morning Hoops happens every Tuesday and Thursday morning starting at 7:00am. It is a great way for students to start their morning. We have open enrollment so if your child is interested in participating, please reach out to Mr. Veiga via email (veigaa@madisonnjps.org).
On Wednesday night we came together as a community to celebrate our Music Department with our Winter Band Concert. The night was filled with beautiful music. Thank you to our Band Directors, Mr. Sabatino and Mr. Rossi for sharing 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 fantastic concert!
Thank you to everyone who came out on Thursday night to support our student versus teacher basketball game. It was an amazing game played up until the very last minute of the game by both the teachers and the students. The teachers squeaked out a 39-38 victory. Thank you to all the fans and families who came out to cheer on and support everyone playing. An incredible thank you to the teachers who played so hard the entire game. A big thank you to our Student Council Advisors Ms. Siso and Ms. Kolinchak along with the entire Student Council for planning a great event. We raised $700 for the American Red Cross to provide relief for the victims of the fires in California. Way to go MJSONE!
Connection and reflection continue to be two important parts of MJS ONE. It is important to stay connected with our families as each of you play an important role in your child’s education. This time will provide an opportunity for families to come together with me in person or virtually to connect and reflect on any topics relating to MJS. We will host our second Connect and Reflect with Mr. Perrone on Wednesday January 22nd at 9:30am. This session will include our school counselors who will share the great ways they support our students at MJS.
Our lost and found table continues to gather many items. A big thank you to our office secretary, Ms. Kelly for taking the time to organize these items so we can get them back to their owners. Below is a picture of all the items we currently have in our lost and found. If you notice a item that belongs to your child please have them go to the office to check in with Ms. Kelly before picking up their item. Thank you for your assistance in getting these items back to their owners.

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.
