Dear Madison-Plains Local School District Parents and Guardians,The safety and security of our students and staff is our top priority within the Madison-Plains Local School District. To that end, this morning, Monday, November 25, 2024, we conducted safety drills on our campus with our students and staff. The purpose for conducting these drills was to review, practice, and enhance our emergency preparedness procedures. Law enforcement and other county officials were invited to campus to observe and provide feedback to us, as well. Again, today’s exercises were only drills. These drills are required by law, and we will continue to practice our emergency preparedness for various scenarios throughout the year. Thank you for your continued support.Have a wonderful day!Go Eagles!Sincerely,Chad Eisler, SuperintendentMadison-Plains Local School District

Notice Regarding Student DataOctober 23, 2024Dear MPLSD Parents and Guardians,This communication is to inform our parents and guardians about the general monitoring of school-issued devices. Tomorrow, Thursday, October 24, 2024, a new law called the “Education Record and Student Privacy Bill,” Senate Bill 29 (SB29), goes into effect. In brief, the purpose of SB29 is to help protect the privacy of student data, which is important to the Madison-Plains Local School District (MPLSD). The bill works to do this by putting protections in place with regard to contracts that school districts enter with technology companies, and it puts provisions in place that require school districts to provide notice to parents and guardians about the monitoring and accessing of student data on school-issued devices.

Dear MPLSD Parents and Guardians,Good evening! The purpose of this communication is to provide a quick, friendly reminder regarding a few upcoming school calendar events. First, as this Thursday, October 17, 2024, is the last day of the first academic quarter, all Madison-Plains Local School District students will be dismissed one-hour early so as to provide time for our teachers to complete end-of-quarter grading. Second, this is a short week for students and staff, as there is no school on Friday, October 18, 2024, due to fall break. Classes will resume on Monday, October 21, 2024.Finally, the Madison-Plains Local School District has a scheduled teacher in-service next week on the morning of Wednesday, October 23, 2024, and will be on a two-hour delayed start that morning. Despite the fact we will be on a two-hour delayed start, breakfast will still be available for those students who would like it upon their arrival at school.Those are all of the calendar reminders I have at this time. I hope you have a wonderful evening!Go Eagles!Mr. Eisler, SuperintendentMadison-Plains Local School District

Dear MPLSD Parents and Guardians,Good morning! I wanted to share a quick update on the power outage at the JH/HS. As of last evening, we are off the generator at the JH/HS and back on regular power. When we switched over last evening, there was a hiccup with the HVAC. We are investigating that, but it seems to be running. We will continue to look into it.With regard to water, we remain on the boil alert at the JH/HS and likely will until probably sometime on Tuesday of this coming week. We have to wait for water test results before we can clear that.Again, thank you for your continued understanding and support.I hope you have a great day!Go Eagles!Sincerely,Mr. Eisler, SuperintendentMadison-Plains Local School District

Dear MPLSD Parents, Guardians, and Staff,The purpose of this message is to provide one final update with regard to the power outage we experienced today, Friday, October 4th, 2024. At this time, power has been restored to all of our buildings, but because the outage affected our entire campus, both sides of campus will be on a boil alert during the early part of this coming week, likely at least through Tuesday, while we await water test results. I will work to send communication to you when we are clear of the boil alert. While we are on the boil alert, we will work to have bottled water on hand for staff and students, as well as hand sanitizer. We do encourage all students and staff to bring a bottle or two of water with them to school, though.Thank you, again, for your support and understanding.I hope everyone has a good weekend.Go Eagles!Sincerely,Mr. Eisler, SuperintendentMadison-Plains Local School District
Dear MPLSD Parents, Guardians, and Staff,I'm reaching out to you to let you know that a short while ago, the junior high and high school lost power. We believe the problem is simply a fuse on the power pole by the street. We have contacted the power company, and they will send a truck out to address the problem. At this time, we are hopeful this will be an easy fix, and we hope to have a relatively normal day at the 7-12 building. Because of the timing of this, and because we are hopeful this will be an easy fix, we are having students and staff come into the building. The K-6 building does have power, so their day will proceed as normal.I will keep you updated on the situation at the 7-12 building.Thank you.Chad Eisler, SuperintendentMadison-Plains Local School District

Dear MPLSD Parents, Guardians, and Staff, The purpose of this message is to provide an update on the power outage at Madison-Plains Junior High and High School. Currently the Junior High and High School are operating on electricity provided by our generator. All systems are operational except for the HVAC, and all of our students and staff are safe. Students and staff are able to use the restrooms. However, due to the fact that we lost power, the 7-12 building is now on a boil alert. As such, students and staff cannot drink the water from the water fountains and hand sanitizer needs to be used to clean hands. We are hoping to have as normal of a day as possible from this point forward. Our 7-12 cafeteria staff is working to put a lunch together. Though we had hoped that reconnecting the fuse at the pole by the street would fix the problem, it did not. We are working to try to determine the exact cause of the power outage. I will continue to send updates as needed. Thank you for your continued understanding and support. Chad Eisler, SuperintendentMadison-Plains Local School District

Dear MPLSD Parents, Guardians, and Staff, The purpose of this message is to provide an update on the power outage at Madison-Plains Junior High and High School. It appears at this time that we have two issues with the electrical system at the Junior High and High School. In order to fix one of the problems, we have to shut the power off to the entire building this afternoon once school dismisses. As such, the Junior High and High School will be closed for the rest of the day beginning at 3:30 p.m. today, Wednesday, October 02. The Junior High football game scheduled for this evening can continue as planned, as the stadium is not on the same power and water system as the Junior High and High School. HS football practice will also be able to continue as planned, as well.High school volleyball will practice at the Intermediate School. The Junior High volleyball team will have their pre-game meal at the Intermediate School and leave for their game from there.
