Parking at Elk’s Lodge/Junior Lot: When buying qualifying school supplies from OFFICE DEPOT, be sure to relay Madison's "5% Back to Schools" code--70105118--in order for Madison High School to receive credits equal to 5% of the qualifying purchases to use for FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES.

Thanks for thinking of us: every bit helps! If you plan to create a Word file at home, and then email it to yourself to work on at school, you need to follow special instructions if you have the latest version of Word/Microsoft Office at home. Since the school computers use an older version of Word (2003), you will not be able to open your attachment unless you remember to do a “SAVE AS” and save your file at home into the 97-2003 format, and then email THAT version to yourself. Then, from school computers, you can open and work on your Word file. If you are not sure how to do this, please see Mr. Smith in room 210 or Mr. Landis in the library. PLEASE back up and remove excess files from your network folders. When too many people save too many files to the server (especially large ones), at some point none of us will be able to save any files. Have a suggestion for the school? Submit your ideas in the red suggestion box in the main office. Suggestions will be read directly by Mr. Merrell as well as the Student Concerns Committee. All students must find somewhere to go during SAP. You can be in a teacher's classroom, the library, or the cafeteria; you may not be in the hallways. Also, students are reminded that during lunch they must either go to the cafeteria or the library. Students are not allowed to eat lunch in the hallways. When logging on to the school computers, if you type in the wrong password 3 times in a row, your network account will be LOCKED until the next day. Make sure the "caps lock" button is off. Looking for a job? Please check the listings in the Career Center. Remember: there is an "I Forgot" table in the Attendance Office where students will be directed to leave items that are brought in for you from home. Please check the table if you are expecting a delivery, as we are unable to bring things to you in class. Give the Gift of a Brick Order forms also are available on the Madison web site or see Mr. Gongaware. Back to top |
