The First Three Weeks at MJS

It's been a great start to the school year at MJS! As the principal, I am proud of our students and staff for their part in making the start of the year a success. We are going to have a great year and we will continue to learn and grow together. Below are some pictures over the last three weeks.

Events and Activities at MJS

Morning Hoops at MJS

We are excited to continue our morning program called Morning Hoops. The Morning Hoops Program will provide middle school students with an engaging basketball program before the school day begins (7:00-7:45 am). This initiative will focus on physical activity, teamwork, and providing a positive start to the day. Our goal is to support a climate and culture that fosters a strong school community. A permission slip will be required for students to attend this program. Depending on the interest, we may have to limit the number of students.

The Morning Hoops Program will start on Tuesday, September 24th and will run every Tuesday and Thursday in the MJS Gym. If your child is interested in participating, please click the link below to complete the permission slip.

Important Information

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.

Thank you for your assistance in helping to remind our students about maintaining and handling our Chromebooks in a responsible and safe way.
