Madison School encourages students to be at school every day possible. We ask parents to call our office with an explanation for their child's absence by no later than 8:30 A.M. on the day of the absence. The Attendance Hotline number is 633-4531 option 2.  Please be sure to state student name, date, and the reason for the absence. A drawing is also held for a $10.00 gift certificate per grade level each nine-week grading period. A $25.00 gift certificate awarded to each student earning the N.E.A.T. (Never Ever Absent or Tardy) recognition for the school year. A grand prize drawing will be held on the last day of school each year for students with perfect attendance for all four grading periods. We appreciate our Madison School PTO providing these great incentives for school attendance. Student bicycles provided by the Madison Twp. Alumni Assn. 

PERFECT ATTENDANCE – Bike Winners – May 2015

On Thursday, May 7, Principal Aaron Leniski shared with his staff his decision to accept the job of Director of Athletics and Student Activities at Penn High School. Mr. Leniski informed parents of his decision in a letter dated May 8. (Here is a copy of that letter.) It was not an easy decision to make, as he has truly loved his years at Madison and grown close to that community. The students, staff and parents that make up Madison Elementary School are kind, generous, welcoming, engaged and supportive. It's those very attributes that will make the transition for incoming principal Ryan Towner all the easier. 

At Madison Fall is for Families. The beginning of the school year marks a change in family life as we welcome a new school year, new schedules, new teachers, new relationships, and a new principal.
