Kindergarten Registration Information for 2010-11
If your child will be 5 years old on or before August 1, 2010, you need to register now for 2010-2011 school year.
Registration will be held at each elementary school office March 22nd – March 26th from 9:30 – 2:30 and March 23rd from 6:00pm – 8:00pm. Students registered during this early registration may sign up for Kindergarten Roundup where they have the opportunity to visit a kindergarten classroom, interact with the teacher, and meet the principal.

Items needed for Registration:
  • Birth certificate (not a hospital birth record)
  • Immunization Records
  • Proof of residence – mortgage or lease agreement and two utility bills
  • Current custody papers, court copy, for parent or guardian issues, if applicable
  • Social Security card or number
All information must be submitted before registration is considered complete. Fall school placement is on a first come basis, rank-ordered by the date on the completed registration. Priority will not be given to enrollees with siblings in the building. For example, a kindergarten student’s registration is received and the school is full then the last to enroll will go to the next available school even if the last kindergartener to enroll has siblings in that building.

No Exceptions – Register Early!
From the Nurses
The Groveport Madison school nurses have compiled a number of resources for fighting the H1N1 flu.

New- The Franklin County Board of Health will provide vaccinations to our students who are in our secondary buildings during the school day, as well.  They also return to do the second vaccination for those under nine years old.
We feel that we should offer this important opportunity to ensure the health and well-being of our students.

These vaccinations are free and will be provided by the Board of Health staff.  You may choose between the nasal spray or shot.  Information sheets from the Board of Health about these choices are attached along with a letter and a consent form that needs to be completed and returned by March 4.  Our district nurses will be available to support the process.

These are the dates that the vaccinations will be done in our buildings:
March 9th   8:00a    GM High School
                    9:00a   GM Middle School South

March 11th  9:00a  GM Middle School North

Ohio Improvement Process
Groveport Madison Schools began the Ohio Improvement Process in September, 2008 by forming a District Leadership Team
The District Leadership Team (DLT) was formed to examine the district's progress and make recommendations that would lead to all students achieving at their highest rate.  For additional information on the work that the Groveport Madison School has completed on this effort, please click on the link below.
No Child Left Behind
What is No Child Left Behind Act?
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was signed into law to improve student achievement.  Focusing on improving schools, teacher quality and parent choice, this act helps all children in the United States get a good education.
Public School Choice and Supplemental Educational Services were created as a part of this law to provide learning accountability.
Curriculum and Instruction for Parents
Improving student achievement is a top priority in the Groveport Madison School District.

We recognize that children learn and master knowledge and skills at different rates and through differentiated instructional strategies as they progress through school.  Through a partnership with the teacher, the parent and the student, it is our goal to help every child learn the knowledge and skills essential for success in school and life.  Working together, our teachers have developed and implemented standards maps which ensure students have access to a Standards-based Curriculum.  Click on the link below to view the standards maps for each grading period by grade or subject.
Education Is The Way
In 1989 an Ohio non-profit corporation was formed through the joint efforts of many local businessmen/women and school personnel.
This organization called Education is the Way works to encourage all Groveport Madison students to carefully consider all post-secondary educational opportunities. As part of this mission, the organization has raised endowment money to develop last-dollar grants for those students needing financial assistance.

Graduates of Groveport Madison Schools are eligible for these Last Dollar Grants after they have submitted the Student Agreement and Application.Education Is the Way Board of Trustees approves the final recommendation of recipients at their meeting in June of every year. Charles Barr, one of the founding members, remains as chairman of the Trustees and other members include Marge Beaver as Secretary/Treasurer, Chris Bowser, Phyllis Davy, Bob Garvin, Scot McKenzie, and Glenn Savage.
