Problems Opening Stuff?

This year the Web staff has upgraded to using Word 2007 for some of our downloadable documents. If you haven't upgraded to Microsoft Word 2007 (and why not says the Microsoft employee :-) ? ) you can download and install the converter, which will allow your Word 2003 program to view Word 2007 documents. Here is a link to the free download.

Getting To School

Bus Tool

The Edmonds School district has launched a new tool that will help parents find where they can take their child to use bus service to Madrona. Here is the link. It is also on the School Transportation page on this site (see the "Getting To School" link on the left navigation, which also details the proper drop-off and pick-up procedures if you are driving your child to school.



Calling All Parents

How are you going to get involved with Madrona this year? Madrona was founded with the expectation that teachers and parent volunteers would work together to provide a terrific learning environment for our children. Remember to contact your child's teacher or classroom volunteer coordinator. There are also many MIT events you can get involved in. Keep reading this page for new opportunities to give back and have fun while your child learns and grows at Madrona!
