Madison Middle School

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible mothers and mother figures in our school community. Your love, encouragement, strength, and unwavering support help shape our students not only into successful learners, but into kind and confident young people. We are truly grateful for the important role you play in our school family.

Thank you to all of our families who joined us and continue to support our school. It was wonderful to see our campus come alive during Open House last week, filled with connection, celebration, and pride in our students’ learning and accomplishments.

A special thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, and students for all the hard work and dedication that made the evening such a success. The student performances were truly outstanding, we are so proud of our students and grateful to everyone who helped make the evening so memorable. One of the high lights was the Madison Ballet Folklorico performance under the direction of Mr. Betancourt with assistance from RBV student dancers.

One actionable way we are living out our mission statement is through a new bell schedule for the 26-27 school year. Whether you were at Open House or not, please click below for all the details.
