On Friday we had the opportunity to celebrate our January Student Leaders of the Month. At the end of each month our teachers choose two students from each team to represent their team as Leaders of the Month. A big congratulations to our Leaders of the Month and for all they bring to our MJS ONE Community on a daily basis. Thank you to these students for being great role models within our building.

Our School-Wide Winter Dance was a great success, with over 300 students joining us for an evening of community and celebration. Beyond the music, games, and snacks, the event served as a vital opportunity for students to foster social connections and strengthen our school spirit. I am particularly proud of our students for their safe, responsible, and respectful behavior, which demonstrated that meaningful learning and character development truly extend beyond the classroom. A big thank you to Ms. Siso, Ms. Kolinchak, our staff chaperones, and the PTO for their dedication in making this memorable night possible.

Our lost and found table continues to gather many items including a lot of winter coats. A big thank you to our office secretary, Ms. Kelly for continuing to take the time to organize these items so we can get them back to their owners. Below are pictures of all the current items we 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.

To be featured in our MJS Celebration Corner, please send a direct email to Mr. Perrone (perronef@madisonnjps.org) with the subject line, MJS Celebration Corner. Within the email please provide a brief summary of the celebration along with any photos that highlights the celebration. We look forward to celebrating all of the great accomplishments of our MJSONE Community!

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 (damaged beyond repair) - $365.00

• Broken Screen - $90.00

• Broken Keyboard - $70.00

• 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.
