The MJS PTO (Madison Junior School Parent Teacher Organization) would like to welcome all of you to the start of a great year! Don’t forget school starts on Monday, September 8th. The construction is almost complete (see construction update for the latest). The new additions and renovations look great! The teachers and staff are working hard to get ready for all of you. Our first PTO Meeting is Wednesday, October 22nd at 7:30 p.m. I hope that each of you will try to attend at least a few of our meetings. Parent and teacher involvement is important to make sure we stay on track. Throughout the year, the PTO sponsors cultural arts programs, student dances and socials, and other enrichment opportunities to enhance your child’s educational experience. These activities require both the volunteer and financial support of our families. Funds will be raised through:
Look for other fundraisers over the course of the year. Emergency Closing Information The district is now using an automated service to contact parents about delayed opening, or early dismissal due to weather, power failure or other emergencies beyond our control. Information will also be announced through e-alerts and will be posted on the district website, www.madisonpublicschools.org (please remember to refresh page!), on radio stations WMTR (AM1250) or WDHA (FM105.5) beginning at 6:45 AM, and on Cable Channel 12. The town fire horn will blast seven times for a school closing and two times for a delayed opening at 6:45 AM and 7:45 AM hen operational. If there is a delayed opening, MJS will begin the day with a two hour delayed opening - 9:45 AM, with classes to begin at 9:55 AM. Please discuss a standing early dismissal plan with your child to avoid confusion should the occasion arise.
E- Alerts
E- alerts are a great way to stay on top of what's happening at MJS. If you sign on to the district website, www.madisonpublicschools.org, just click on the School E-Communication link and you will be able to sign up for various e-alerts (school info, sports, district, PTO, etc.)
Back-to-School Supply Kits
If you purchased a "BACK-TO-SCHOOL SUPPLY KIT", they will be handed out on the first day of school during your child's advisory period. You will also need to purchase a 2 inch binder, trapper style is acceptable, to complete your student's supply list. Complete supply lists are available in the MJS office. You can also purchase a gym bag with the Madison "M" logo for $15.00. Contact Lisa Ellis or Andrea Waresk to order a gym bag.
THE MJS PTO NEEDS YOU! There are many opportunities to get involved at MJS and most do not require a big time commitment but provide very necessary support for student activities. Please join us, just complete the "MJS PTO Back-to-School Volunteer Sheet" and send it in with your child on the first day of school.
On behalf of the entire MJS PTO, thank you for your support! We are looking forward to a great year! Feel free to contact either one of us with any questions or concerns,
