On Thursday we had a special guest from the Harlem Wizards visit our cafeteria to promote the upcoming Wizards game that will be held on April 29th at 7pm at Madison High School. Our guest shared some of his tricks as well as helping one of our students demonstrate some of their skills! See more information below about the upcoming Harlem Wizards game!
We are excited for our continued partnership with our Robin Advisory program to host parent/guardian workshop series. Robin is the program we are using for our Advisory program this year. Their mission is to help build more connected, supportive and compassionate school communities where each student, educator, parent/guardian is empowered to thrive.
Below is the schedule for our remaining workshops. The next workshop is on Tuesday April 29th at 7:00pm. The topic is Building Resilience and Self-Efficacy. The Zoom link will be shared the week of workshop.
Our lost and found table continues to grow. 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 are updated pictures 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.
