Madison is a Community that Respects each other and Education through Equity in order to honor and empower our Diverse population. This spring has been challenging due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 which has affected all of us. More recently we have witnessed the acts of violence and misuse of power that took the lives of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. 

At Madison, we are outraged by this systemic abuse towards members of the African American community. Whatever you are feeling right now -  overwhelmed, mourning, afraid, full of despair, and looking for hope and answers - it is a real response. We believe that you are valuable, important, and brilliant.  We stand in solidarity with African American students, families, and staff while remaining committed to diversity and respect.

We are aware that this is more than a moment in time. We acknowledge that this is an ongoing process as we seek to dismantle systematic racism.

We acknowledge that racism is ever present in America and the impacts continue to be deadly. Let’s consider how we can collectively work together to create cross-racial collaboration to ensure that the tragedies do not continue again and again. As we continue to process these events, Madison staff is here to provide support to process the impact of these repeated tragic events. Please feel free to reach out to Madison staff for support.

With the end of the school year coming up, be aware that PPS will close out your student accounts after you graduate. Here is a quick FYI on a tool from Google that lets users copy their Gmail and Drive files from their school account to another Google account, like a personal Gmail account.

This is a short 9-minute video showing the entire process, and a written set of instructions:

Greetings,

We know this year is not ending how we thought it would at the beginning. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to provide care and services to our students. We want you to know that we are returning items stored in lockers in the safest, most efficient way we can. We ask all individuals to practice social distancing and wear face masks when you come.

Before you come to the building, please search for these items in your home and bring them:

• Any textbooks, novels belonging to Portland Public Schools or Madison

• Scientific calculators

• Athletic apparel or equipment

• Musical Instruments

• Chromebooks, ****only if you are a senior who has completed their courses****

• Digital resources (cameras, other tech belong to PPS/MHS)

Seniors: Come pick up honor cords.

Times & Dates:

Thursday, May 28th between 11am-1pm

Monday, June 1st between 11am-1pm

Madison staff will be safely opening student lockers, bagging, and labeling those items found in lockers. Please rest assured that gloves and face coverings were used when these items were packed. 

When you arrive, please enter the parking lot on the East end of the building (main entrance).

You can drive up if you have a vehicle or walk up for those that come by other means. We will be stationed at the band room hallway entrance by the flagpole.

• Please bring your student ID or be prepared to open your StudentVue.
  

It is at this time that you will drop off any textbooks or other items that belong to PPS (from the list above). Only seniors need to return their PPS issued Chromebook. Other students may keep those until further notice. 

We can only return items found in lockers to individual Madison students or family members present. We cannot have other Madison students or families collect items for other people.

Thank you,

Madison High Administration

Dear PPS Community,

As the 2019-20 school year comes to an end, we want to update you on the services and learning opportunities we are looking forward to providing this summer as we continue to adjust to the ever-changing landscape during the coronavirus pandemic.

Dear PPS Community,

The Portland Public Schools Board of Education is hosting its annual budget town hall virtually, so that community members can be heard, even in the midst of social distancing made necessary by COVID-19. 

After an unprecedented pandemic prompted the closure of campuses for the final 13 weeks, the 2019-20 school year in Portland Public Schools will officially end on Wednesday, June 10. 

A public meeting of the Board of Education, acting in its capacity as the Budget Committee of Portland Public School District 1J, Multnomah County, Oregon, will take place during the regular School Board meeting on the 11th day of June at 6 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to receive any additional public comment related to the Superintendent’s budget message and Proposed Budget for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which was presented on May 26.
