Join Madison’s PTSA!

Our current PTA membership at Madison reflects roughly 10% our school population. While that is up from 5% last year, we still have a long way to go to get back to Pre-Covid levels. The PTSA supports Madison’s Racial Equity Team, funds things like grants from staff projects and the purchasing of library books, and organizes activities like Field Day that help make school fun for our kids. Please be a part of this and remember to get your kids to join too. There is no wrong way to PTA! Scholarships also available.
