Other Important Information
Parking
information and
applications for juniors and seniors can be found on our website at https://madisonhs.fcps.edu/resources/parking. Students should follow
the directions provided. A parking permit is $200.00. Seniors will be
given priority over juniors; however, we will make every effort to provide
on-campus parking for all eligible students. Only seniors will be issued
parking permits before school begins. Students are not allowed to park in
a space with a “T”. These spaces are designated for faculty and staff
only. Students may park in any other space on a first come, first served
basis, aka, “open” parking.
The PTSA will
provide an electronic directory to all Madison PTSA
members. It will be password protected and mobile friendly.” Should your family wish to
opt-out of the directory you may complete an opt-out form available on
Madison’s webpage or you may pick one up in the Main Office.
The SIS Parent Account (otherwise
known as “ParentVUE”), is a secure portal for Parents to view information about
student schedules, demographics, attendance, current class performance, and
grade reports. Student schedule information will be available on Thursday,
August 23rd. SIS Parent Accounts also provide access to FCPS 24-7 (also known as
“Blackboard”). FCPS 24-7 contains specific course assignments posted by
teachers as well as access to weCare—an
online tool to keep emergency and health care information current. Before school begins parents should log
in to weCare to review and update the emergency care information we have in our
system for each of your children. Login to FCPS 24-7 using the same credentials you use for
your Parent Account and look for the link to weCare.
