2019-2020 Madison Elementary School Boundaries

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As part of the 2019-2020 district reconfiguration, our school populations will be modified to correspond to new elementary school boundaries and changes in grade compositions at the K-8 level. As promised in a previous communication, this message provides information to parents regarding school assignment for the 2019-2020 school year.

The new elementary school boundaries for the 2019-2020 school year have been posted to the District Website. The Ryerson and Jeffrey districts are identified on a map and corresponding lists of street names are provided. The new boundaries were developed thoughtfully, giving consideration to:

Geographic distribution of the student population,
Board of Education Class Size Policy (6151),
The physical capacities of Jeffrey and Ryerson Elementary Schools, and;
Efforts to minimize disruption to families

The impact of the 2019-2020 reconfiguration on the current school population is as follows:

All current K- 2 Island Avenue students will be moving to Jeffrey.
All current K-2 Ryerson students will remain at Ryerson.
Approximately 60% of the current K-2 Jeffrey students will remain at Jeffrey.
Approximately 40% of the current K-2 Jeffrey students will attend Ryerson.
All current 3rd grade students will attend Brown for 4th grade.
All current 5th grade students will attend Polson for 6th grade.

There are many transition programs and activities scheduled throughout the current school year. These events are intended to support a smooth transition for all students, and will be great opportunities for students and their parents to become familiar with their new school communities.
