A huge thank you to our families who came out for Back to School Night on Thursday! We loved seeing you in the building and sharing all the incredible things happening at MJS. Your partnership is so valuable, and we're grateful to be working with you to give our students the best year yet.
We are excited to announce the completion of the MJS ONE project for the 2025-2026 school year. Thank you to all our students, teachers, and families who took the pledge and committed to being part of our MJS ONE community. We deeply value your partnership as we all continue to learn and grow together.
6th Grade ELA students explored their summer reading books through open discussion and collaborative design, creating new book covers that reflect shared insights. This fun, creative experience also helps them connect with classmates and feel more at home in their new school.
This week, our 8th-grade Peer Leaders had their first meeting and learned about their new leadership roles and what it means to be a true leader to their younger peers. They are excited and eager to make a positive impact for our MJSOne community. We cannot wait to see the incredible things this group will accomplish together!
We will continue to utilize our MJS ONE Instagram as a way to celebrate all of the wonderful things happening at MJS throughout the school year. Ms. Zahn and I will be taking pictures throughout the year to post on our account. It is our hope that this will provide an avenue for our families to get an inside look of all that MJS has to offer!

Over the Summer the four student bathrooms were fully renovated. They look great! A new telephone pole was installed along with a new transformer and new underground wiring to the basement. A new switchgear will be installed soon. These electrical upgrades are the first steps needed in preparation for the installation of the new HVAC units which is scheduled to begin next summer. Starting next week MJS will begin the ceiling, lights and floors replacement project. Every classroom will be getting a new ceiling, new lights and a new floor.
Our lost and found table is starting to gather many items. A big thank you to our office secretary, Ms. Kelly for taking the time to organize these items so we can get them back to their owners. Below are pictures 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.
Connection and reflection are 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 first Connect and Reflect with Mr. Perrone on Thursday October 9th at 9:30am.

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.
