Hi Madison County School District Families,
We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, built right into our Madison County School District app and website, offer secure and safe two-way messaging.
This addition allows our district to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.
Why Rooms?
One place for every message. No more juggling multiple communication apps, flipping between inboxes, or remembering different logins.
Text notifications. You can get notified automatically of new messages even if you haven’t downloaded our district app.
Safe and secure. Built-in moderation and other safety tools allow us to ensure safety of all communications, at all times.
What to Expect:
Rooms will become our primary method of communication for all interactions between staff, coaches, families, and teachers.
To set up your account and for the best user experience, please download Madison County School District:

Enter your personal email or phone number associated with your Skyward account. You will then receive a verification code via text or a link via email to set up your password.
If you have your cell phone number on file, you will automatically receive text notifications of any messages sent from your teachers.
The first time you open the app, it will ask to send you push notifications. Select Allow to get important announcements from your teachers within the classroom.
Select the Rooms tab at the bottom of the app so you can start engaging with teachers via Messages and Classes.
We look forward to seeing you in Rooms!

For Immediate Release:
This morning at approximately 11:20 a.m., a staff member at Madison County Central School discovered what appeared to be a firearm while helping a 5-year-old Pre-K student locate a paper in their backpack. The staff member immediately notified School Resource Deputies, who responded within 1 minute of notification and took possession of the firearm. The Madison County Sheriff's Office investigators are currently on campus at Madison County Central School and are investigating the situation.
At no time were students or staff in danger, and the firearm was never displayed or handled by the student. Staff followed proper safety protocols, and law enforcement responded quickly to contain the situation immediately upon discovery. Normal school operations have continued without interruption.
This incident serves as an important reminder to all parents and guardians to ensure that firearms and other dangerous items in your home are stored securely and are completely inaccessible to children. Even young children can inadvertently bring dangerous items to school if they are able to access them at home.
We appreciate the vigilance of our staff and the swift response of our School Resource Deputies in keeping our school community safe. Parents with questions or concerns should contact school administration or the Madison County Sheriff's Office.
