August 2023

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian:

Summer break allows us to collectively to refresh, refocus, and spend quality time with family and friends.  It is my hope this letter finds your family safe and sound!   

For the 2023-2023 school year, we are focused on raising higher expectations for staff and students for learning and a positive learning climate.

In May 2023, I was blessed to complete my dissertation, ‘The Relationship Between School Funding and Student Achievement: A Study of Equity in Select Illinois Community Unit School Districts’, earning my doctorate in Education.

We are never too young or old  learn, seeking ever continuous improvement. It is our mission to prepare your child for post-secondary options including college, trades, or the labor force after high school.

§  District & Senior High combined calendar,

§  chromebook fees, athletic Fees

Chrome Books                                                                                                                               

Our aim is to have students actively engaged in the learning process. This year, new district chrome books are assigned at school and must remain in classrooms. However, if you desire for your child to use a chrome book at home, a user fee of $65.00 is required to have one issued for the entire year. Lastly, if for any reason the chromebook issued home is broken and not repairable, the replacement fee is $330.00.

Athletics/Physicals/GPA/Discipline/Fees

Madison offers the following sports: basketball, cross country, football, Girls volleyball, and track. Other clubs include Student Council, National Honor Society, and Yearbook. All student athletes must have an IHSA sanctioned medical sports physical, maintain a 2.0 grade point average, and clear through discipline system on a weekly basis.  Fees are as follows:

$35 – 1 sport; $70 – 2 or more sports; $85.00 football; $35 Cheer Squad

Cell Phones

The district’s new Cell Phone Policy remains and will be enforced. Upon entry, cell phones are required to be powered off, placed in lockers for the entire day, and retrieved from lockers at dismissal.
