IMPORTANT INFO & EVENTS
For our Seniors and their families
- Please join us for the Madison Baccalaureate interfaith event hosted by the Madison PTSA and held at Vienna Presbyterian Church on Monday, June 5th at 6pm.

Our Madison Madrigals will sing and a Madison Orchestral ensemble will perform.

Guidelines for the collection of laptops:
- Any SENIOR that still has a laptop and charger MUST turn it in to the main office immediately.
- Students leaving JMHS must complete the following steps before turning in their laptops. ALL local files, bookmarks, and programs will be erased.
- All Students Returning to JMHS must complete the following steps before turning in their laptops. ALL local files and bookmarks must be backed up, as they will be erased during the reimaging process.
- Laptops must be returned free of stickers, markings and other drawings, or the student will be charged a $50.00 cleaning fee.

- If a student lost their laptop or their laptop cord, they should go to the JMHS Technology page to pay for the lost laptop or cord. Non-FCPSOn chargers will NOT be accepted, and students will need to pay for the missing charger. Payments will be made through MySchoolBucks.

One School | One Community | One World
Madison High School strives to create and maintain an identity affirming learning environment where our students embrace, support, and encourage each other where multiple forms of identity (i.e. race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or disability) are recognized and regarded as assets for teaching and learning. We work to ensure school is a place where students feel safe and can be themselves. We do not tolerate hate speech, racist speech, bias, or acts of discrimination in our school. We want all students to feel a sense of belonging. We want to see all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to learning, growing, and building the best Madison High School for all our students. We are One School - One Community - One World.
