Best Communities for Education
Best Communities for Education
Madison Public Schools has once again earned national recognition for its unwavering dedication to music education, receiving the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for the fourteenth time. This prestigious award, now in its 26th year, celebrates districts across the nation that demonstrate exceptional commitment to providing all students with access to and excellence in music education.
To achieve this honor, Madison Public Schools provided detailed information about its music program, including funding, graduation requirements related to music, student participation rates, dedicated instructional time, available facilities, the level of support for the music program, and community music engagement opportunities. The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas rigorously verified and reviewed all submissions.
The Chariot of the Sun Assembly
The Chariot of the Sun Assembly
"The Chariot of the Sun" continues to be a cherished tradition, offering seventh graders an engaging enrichment experience that seamlessly integrates with both their English Language Arts and Social Studies curriculum. This year's 50-minute performance on Tuesday certainly lived up to its reputation! Students were captivated, with some even joining performer Jeff Benoit on stage for lively adaptations of three short Greek myths. This interactive show brought much-needed laughter and educational enjoyment during testing week. We extend our sincere gratitude to the MEF for their continued sponsorship of this valuable program.
Conflict Resolution
Conflict Resolution
The Conflict Resolution Club had a Mindfulness Workshop with Project Community Pride. Christine McIntyre, the Program Director, explored activities like "Meditation Rocks" and coloring to help manage stress and handle conflicts. A big thank you to the YMCA Project Pride for being our guest and sharing these helpful techniques with us.

Technology Reminder about Student Chromebook Usage
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.
