School Forms

Students & Media Coverage

 We are very proud of the impressive accomplishments of our Madison Public Schools' students and enjoy sharing our pride in the media and on our website. If you do not want your child photographed or videotaped for public relations and / or promotional reasons, please complete the Media Coverage Refusal electronic form on our website in the Back to School Information section on or before October 24, 2018.

Student Directory Information

Each year, the Parent / Teacher Organization (PTO) in each school furnishes parents with a student directory. "Directory" information includes a student's name, address and telephone number. If you request that your child's / children's information not be included in the directory, please fill out the Student Directory Opt-Out Form by October 24, 2018

Pest Management / Pesticide Application
Board of Education Policy #7120 on the use of pesticides in school buildings and on school grounds is a common sense approach rather than routine application. Personnel licensed by the State of Connecticut will apply all pesticides and no pesticides will be applied when school is in session except in emergency situations. Any parent, guardian, or school staff member may register for notice of pesticide application. To register for notice of pesticide application please complete the Pesticide Notification Registration form by October 24, 2018. The Central Office, the Facilities Department and each school maintains a registry of persons requesting notification. Such notice will include the name of the active ingredient of the applied pesticide, the date of the application on the school property, and the name of the person who may be contacted for further information. Notification will be made by either telephone or by e-mail. A record of each pesticide application will be kept in the Facilities Department and the custodian's office.

Release of Directory Information to Military Recruiters

DHHS Students Only
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2002 require the Madison Public Schools to provide, upon a request made by military recruiters or an institution of higher education, access to secondary school students' names, addresses, and telephone listings. However a parent/guardian of a secondary school student or the student having reached the age of majority, may object to the release this information and have the right to request in writing that this information not be released. If you do not want this information released, please complete the Recruitment Refusal form on or before October 24, 2018.

Asbestos Management Program
An Asbestos Management Program exists to guarantee that asbestos-containing materials are maintained in a condition in which they do not pose a health hazard. As part of this program, these materials are periodically inspected. Anyone wishing to know more about the Asbestos Management Program or the asbestos-containing materials found in the Madison Public Schools may request to read the Asbestos Management Plan which is on file in the School Facilities Office (203-245-6470).

Code of Conduct
The Madison Public Schools' Student Code of Conduct is approved annually by the Board of Education. The Code of Conduct can be viewed on the Madison Public Schools website in the Back to School Information section. The Back to School section is also available from each school's website. We ask that you review this information with your child / children.

In closing, we are poised for another exceptional year of teaching and learning in the Madison Public Schools.  We thank you for your enthusiasm and continued support of public education.  As always, if I can ever be of assistance to your family, please don't hesitate to call me at 203-245-6300.
