September Leaders of the Month
On Thursday October 9th we had the opportunity to celebrate our September 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.

6th Grade Weather Instrument Build
6th Grade Weather Instrument Build
As part of our weather and climate unit, 6th-grade students designed and built their own weather instruments using recycled or household materials for their construction. This hands-on, project-based assignment challenged students to apply their knowledge of meteorological concepts by constructing a working model of a weather instrument, such as a rain gauge, wind vane, anemometer, or wind sock. This activity was designed to make science more tangible and it helped students connect what they’ve learned in class to the world around us.
Through this project, students were able to :
Research the function and design of their chosen instrument.
Apply problem-solving and engineering skills to create a functional model.
Present their weather model to the class.

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage month, seventh grade ELA students read nonfiction articles on Newsela to learn about the artistry and cultural significance of pinatas. Then classes enjoyed a piñata-breaking celebration on the front lawn of MJS. Muchas gracias to the MEF for their support in making this fun enrichment activity possible!

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 (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.
