Connection and reflection continue to be two important parts of MJS ONE. It is important to stay connected with our families as each of you play an important role in your child’s education. Over the course of the school year, I will be hosting Connect and Reflect sessions with our families. This will provide an opportunity for families to come together with me in person or virtually to connect and reflect on any topics relating to MJS. We will host our second Connect and Reflect with Mr. Perrone on Wednesday January 14th at 9:30am. We will also provide a virtual link for those that would like to join virtually.
At the end of December, the local Madison organization The Support Network joined the Culture Club. Two Board Members from The Support Network led a conversation about community needs, mental health and wellness, and activities the network offers. Students then chose to write affirmations, color, or write gratitude cards. We left with green ribbon pins, a plan to support Mental Health Month in May, and new ideas for The Support Network about activities that interest middle school students. Special thanks to The Support Network for all they do!
MJS Celebration Corner will be a new section of our Weekly Reflection Newsletter. This is where we want to highlight the wonderful work and accomplishments of our students and staff that occur outside of school. This could include athletic related activities/accomplishments, music or art related activities/accomplishments or any other accomplishments.
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.
