At Madison High School, we take great pride in paving the way for the successful transition of 8th grade students to our school. It is vitally important that all of our incoming freshmen students, along with their parents, feel well supported and highly informed about all aspects of the high school. Recognizing that the transition to high school is a monumental step in the eyes of a young person, it is imperative that we provide parents and guardians with the information needed to effectively guide and support their child as they embark upon their high school experience.
8th Grade Information Night has been the forum for families to learn about all that Madison High School has to offer, meet administration, listen to students speak to their experiences, and see our facilities. This year, we invite 8th grade students and their families to the high school on Monday, November 3rd. A tentative schedule for the evening is as follows:
6:00 pm - An information session about the Academy of Government & Leadership, which is a partnership between the Morris County Vocational School District and Madison High School. The Academy, housed at MHS, educates students on all aspects of governance including public policy, public administration, ethics, and international relations.
6:30 pm - Ms. Susie Budine, Director of Pupil Personnel Services, and Mr. Christin Mullen, Assistant Director of Pupil Personnel Services, would like to invite those families whose students will be receiving special services to a brief meeting about their child’s transition to high school.
7:00 pm - General information sessions showcasing the high school including course, club, and athletic offerings.
In addition, we will have an activity fair in the cafeteria prior to the general information session beginning at 6:00 pm in the Madison High School cafeteria. Please head to the MHS Extra Curricular Activity Website for a full listing of clubs and activities offered.
In order to help us prepare and properly plan for the night, we would like to ask that anyone who plans on joining us for the evening completes this Google Form by Monday, October 27th. We will send out a full schedule of events and details about the night on Thursday, October 30th. We anticipate the night to conclude around 8:30 pm.
We look forward to working closely with you to ensure that your child’s transition to high school is as smooth and educationally rewarding as possible. Madison High School is truly a great place and we look forward to sharing all it has to offer with you!
