Christmas Break has started!! 🎄 😄 We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We will see you all again on January 2nd. If you have any fun Holiday traditions or activities you are doing over the break, send them in to us and we can highlight you on our stories! #wearemadison


Dear Parents.
The Madison School District Transportation Team has been working diligently to streamline our operations to better serve the district and our students. We plan to eliminate the need for students to transfer buses to get to their destinations by providing direct bus routes where your student will have the same driver both morning and afternoon. We have successfully achieved this goal and had planned to start the new bus routes upon returning from Christmas Break. However, we experienced some unforeseen circumstances with transferring the old route data, and parent information for the app to the new routes. Because of this, we feel it is in our best interest to delay the rollout of the new bus routes until the start of the 2024/2025 school year in August, to avoid creating problems with the parent app, or conflicting route information.
Thank you all for your understanding in this matter, as our primary goal is to transport your students safely while providing a user-friendly parent app solution with correct and up-to-date information. On behalf of the Madison Transportation Team, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Respectfully,
Brandon Caldwell
Director of Transportation

Hello!
We have recently changed the front face of our Website. With the changes, we have moved information around a bit. All important information previously on the site is still there including new additions and upgrades to some pages. Today there were a few instances of links not working. We notified our service team and the problems should be resolved.
For user simplicity, we have combined information and removed some tabs/buttons. Parents/Students/Staff buttons have upgraded pages with easily accessible links and information. All information that pertains to these groups will be on their respective page (examples: logins, forms, resources, training videos). While the bulk of the website is updated, there is still work to be done. We appreciate your patience while we complete the changes. All important information and links are currently accessible during this "construction". If you have any questions regarding the new look of the website or navigating it, please contact us at wearemadison@msd321.com.

Thanksgiving Break will be from Nov. 22nd-26th! Our offices/schools will be closed during this time. We hope you have a wonderful holiday break and enjoy spending time with friends and family! Let's find ways this week to make someones day a little brighter and be thankful for the little things #wearemadison

Hello!
Does your child enjoy reading or listening to audiobooks?
Sora is a free app and resource for audiobooks, ebooks, and read-along books for all students and employees in the district. Sora is a digital library, so you "check out" books for two weeks at a time with an option to renew, or you can put a book on hold if it is "checked out" to someone else. A book with simultaneous checkouts means that an unlimited number of people can check it out at the same time. Artie and the Wolf Moon will be available on Sora for simultaneous use in ebook and audiobook formats between November 2-16th. Checkouts will be simultaneous, which means no holds!



Superintendent Randy Lords is excited to meet with the wonderful families in our District. You can expect to learn more about the future of Madison School District, ask questions, and discuss important topics. If you have any pressing questions leading up to these dates, please email wearemadison@msd321.com. If we are not able to cover your specific question during the meeting, please know the door is always open and you can reach out via phone or email. We look forward to seeing you!

Dear families,
The Foreign Language Department of Madison School District is going to France and Spain in the Summer of 2025, and you’re invited!
We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://bit.ly/3EPC0tp
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
In this info session, we’ll talk about:
· How this opportunity will benefit your student
· What we’ll see and do on our trip
· Everything that’s included in this experience
· How your child can earn academic credit
· How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
· How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period
There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!
Gracias,
Nicole Grafel
Spanish/Psychology Teacher
Madison High School
