Madrona does not provide lists of supplies for you to buy.

Each class has a supply fee paid at the start of the year that covers what your student will need.

You can pay the fee directly to your student's teacher, or online through the MIT Square Store ($1.50 more)

If you need to check on your application status or have questions regarding your eligibility, call the Food & Nutrition Department at 425-431-7078.

Bear Wear - Be There!

• Bear wear store open for business!
• Deadline for Orders: Sunday, October 6, 2024 (11:59 PM PDT)
  
• Orders will be delivered to your student's classroom 2-3 weeks after store closes

MIT General Meetings will be held on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm for the 2024-2025 school year.

The first MIT General Meeting of the year is 9/25, 6:30PM after Curriculum night.

After the first instance meetings will be on the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30PM unless otherwise communicated.

Meetings are held in the school and the whole MIT community is welcome!

After MIT General Meetings join us for community and conversation at parent's night out, this is at a different restaurant each time - suggestions welcome.

Some folks in the MIT community hide them around the school for students to find?

Many do including Microsoft, Boing, Sales Force, and Verizon, does yours? If you don't know ask your HR to find out!

If your company does match for volunteer hours don't leave that money on the table! Log your hours and be sure to choose either Madrona school in Edmonds, or Madrona Integrated Teams, depending on the program.

There are so many volunteer opportunities over the next couple weeks, and throughout the schoolyear, help Madrona by doubling your impact by having your employer match your hours!
