What a vibrant day at MJS on Tuesday for our 3rd Annual Color Run, presented in collaboration with our Student Council! The atmosphere was electric, with our Jazz Band providing the perfect soundtrack and students excitedly cheering on every runner. We're so grateful to our amazing Student Council, Mrs. Siso, and Mrs. Kolinichak for their invaluable support in bringing this successful event to life!
Our seventh graders recently wrapped up their personal narrative writing unit with a special memoir reading. They've all crafted incredibly powerful stories of personal change, and it was truly a treat for students to hear their classmates' heartfelt memoirs. Details about the memoir anthology will be coming your way soon!
On Wednesday night, our community gathered to celebrate the incredible talent of our Music Department at the Chorus and Orchestra Spring Concerts. Once again, our students delivered amazing performances, filling the night with truly beautiful music. A huge thank you to our dedicated directors: Mr. Mallick, our Chorus Director, and Mrs. McCormick, our Orchestra Director. We're so grateful for their continued passion in sharing the love of music with our students and for helping them flourish as musicians. We also extend our deepest gratitude to all our families for your tireless support behind the scenes, helping your children pursue their musical passions. Congratulations to all our students and directors on a magnificent year of music making!
Students in 8th grade Craft Studio created ceramic planters using the coil method. Once their project was glazed and done they were able to plant seeds in the courtyard with the help of our Green Team!
At Green Team this week, students learned how to turn food scraps into garden gold! A special guest from the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority (MCMUA) came to teach the students how easy and rewarding composting can be. She spoke about the benefits of composting, how it helps reduce waste, and simple ways we can all make a difference at school and at home! The students walked away with a better understanding of how small actions can have a big environmental impact! And she even brought some decomposer friends to assist in the presentation!
What a fantastic Day of Service at Madison High School on Thursday! Several groups brought their energy and talents to MJS. The Dodger Soccer team dedicated their time to a beautification project, while MHS band students connected and created music alongside our MJS band. We also had an amazing group helping us organize our athletic closets. And to top it all off, the MHS mascot even made a special appearance!
A big thank you to our office secretary, Ms. Kelly for taking the time to organize our Lost and Found table. Below is an updated 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.
