Parents: Our first quarter being virtual was really different for everyone involved. We had no idea what to expect from our students who had no choice in this pandemic keeping them away from school. However, we are excited to state that our students at the Jr. High School stepped up to the challenge and did a wonderful job. Our attendance for this first quarter of school was 91%....That’s amazing! We had a number of students who worked really hard to make honor roll and high honor roll. Please check out our webpage to see the list of students. Thanks!

Madison Family,
Since the decision was made to deliver instruction through remote learning for the first quarter we have been planning on how to deliver the best remote learning opportunity possible. It was identified that staff desired more training on how to best deliver remote instruction to your students. To accomplish this, we will be moving the first day of remote student attendance from Wednesday, August 12th to Monday, August 17th. This will allow us to provide the training that our staff desires so they can deliver the highest quality instruction to your students.
Good morning parents: We are looking forward to the start of the new year. Despite the circumstances, our staff is eager to get back to teaching and learning. You should have received an email from the district with information about registering your child. If you did not receive this email, please contact Ms. Silas at 877.1712 ext. 6266. You may also come to the school to pick up a registration packet. Thanks.
Good Afternoon Madison Families,
This is Principal Terrien Fennoy with an important message.
We are excited to begin our new school year in a few days and can’t wait to introduce you to this new way of learning! ALL students in grades PK – 12th grade MUST be registered in order to receive work packets, IPad, and chrome books. We are asking that you please register your student so that we can get an accurate count of our enrollment for the upcoming school year. If you do not know your teacher ease account please email us at registration@madisoncusd12.org. . Don’t forget to include the students name the parents’ name and an email address. Sorry, no I cloud are accepted. You can also call or come to the school for a registration packet. Our secretaries are waiting to assist you.
Madison Family,
Since the end of the school year we have been working on how to best reopen school this fall. Three options were developed; in-person, hybrid and remote learning. Over the last several weeks we presented these three options to families and staff. We have asked for your input on how you would like to see school opened and students educated.
Based on this input, guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education and Illinois Department of Public Health we have made the decision to begin the school year with remote learning. Remote learning will continue through the end of the first quarter.
This decision was not made lightly. Our two greatest concerns are the safety of all who enter the buildings and providing the best education for students. With the increasing rates of COVID-19 in our region we feel the safest option is to continue remote learning.
Now that the decision has been made, we will provide frequent updates to make sure everyone has accurate information as we adjust to our new normal together.
We thank you for all of your input, and we look forward to providing the best educational opportunity possible for students.
