Greetings Bulldog Nation,

Today we want to recognize our custodial and maintenance staff members. From early mornings to late nights, they keep our classrooms clean, our hallways safe, and our school shining. Their hard work often goes unseen, but it is felt every single day.

Thank you to our custodial team for all you do!

On Tuesday, October 7th, Homegrown Coffey will have its coffee truck in the Madison High School parking lot from 7:00 a.m. to noon. Staff, students, and the community are encouraged to take advantage of this delicious opportunity!

This afternoon, Madison Elementary and Madison Jr High and High School had a "school family" day activity where each family constructed a scarecrow. Scarecrows will be displayed downtown for the fall season.

Hay/Straw, flannel shirts, ball caps, coffee cans, overalls, straw hats, burlap sacks and pillow cases.

Madison Elementary School is having a food drive this week. Students are working together to bring in enough food donations to hide the Bulldog in the entryway of our school. If we can't see him at the end of the week, students will earn special board game time! This is a great way for our littlest Bulldogs to serve our community!

Spirit Week Day 1

USD 386 is having electrical issues at the high school. We are working to resolve them. This includes no phone service. If you have any questions, feel free to message the district Facebook page.

We will keep you updated.

📢 Learning Professionalism in Action! Our 7th graders are working this week on what it means to be professional — not just in writing, but in person. Today, students practiced role-playing real-life situations, from asking about missed assignments to thanking a staff member, first showing “how not to do it” and then modeling the professional way to handle the same conversation. It’s all part of helping our students build confidence and communication skills they’ll use far beyond the classroom. We’re proud of the effort they’re putting into learning respect, clear communication, and professionalism! 👏
