We hope that you have had a relaxing and enjoyable summer filled with quality time spent with family and friends. It is with great excitement that we welcome all students back to Madison High School on Thursday, September 4th for the first day of the 25-26 school year.
Summer Packet
This letter will provide you with additional information pertaining to the upcoming school year and includes a list of forms that we ask parents to review and complete for each child prior to the first day of school. Those forms will be available on the Genesis Parent Portal on Thursday, August 21st at 3:00 pm. Please refer to the district’s letter from Monday, August 18th regarding how to access Genesis and those forms. In addition, we have created direct links below to provide parents with access to the information and forms needed to prepare for the upcoming school year. We recognize that this can be a cumbersome process and appreciate the time you take to complete everything requested of you. Please remember that if you have more than one child attending the high school you will need to complete the applicable forms for each child.

Student Schedules
Student schedules will be made available on the Genesis Parent Portal on Thursday, August 21st at 3:00 pm after the required Back to School forms have been completed. All students should review their schedules prior to the start of the school year. If a student is missing a core course (PE, Math, Science, English, History, World Language) they expected to be in their schedule they should contact their school counselor. Unless a student has been scheduled incorrectly or there are extenuating circumstances, there will be no changes to core classes. If a student would like to request an elective change, please complete the Google Elective Change Request Form. Please be mindful that counselors will not be in their offices or responding to emails until Wednesday, August 27th. We appreciate your patience.
Staffing
We are pleased to welcome in a number of new faculty members this year as a result of recent retirements, transfers, and resignations.
