Do This First Before Calling the Madison County BOE Office

Use this simple route if you are helping a student, grandchild, neighbor, employee applicant or family member. It saves time because the Board of Education page is not the right page for every school problem.

1

Need school dates?

Open the MCSS Calendar page first. Then check the individual school website if the question is about a school-level event, athletic date, exam schedule or building-specific announcement.

2

Need board meeting records?

Use the official Meeting Information page for upcoming meeting agenda and dates, board minutes and MCSS YouTube meeting access.

3

Need enrollment or school zone help?

Use PowerSchool Enrollment, Student Registration Information and School Zone pages before calling. For non-SRA questions, start with the local school when the district tells families to do so.

4

Need a job or substitute route?

Use Career Opportunities first. It connects users to MCSS employment, substitute teacher information, salary schedule, fingerprinting and bus driver opportunity routes.

What This Madison County Board of Education Alabama Guide Covers

Office and phone

Madison County Schools Central Office Address, Phone, Fax and Visit Tips

Madison County Schools lists the Central Office at 1275 Jordan Road, Huntsville, AL 35811. The main listed phone number is 256.852.2557, and the listed fax number is 256.852.1086. This is the right starting point when you need general district routing but do not know which department handles the issue.

Do not assume every problem should start with the board office. Student attendance, classroom questions, school pickup, local events and most family issues usually start with the school. Board records, meeting minutes, public comment requests and policy questions should start with the Board of Education or Meeting Information page.

Calendar

Madison County Schools Calendar, Report Card Schedule and School-Specific Dates

The official Madison County Schools Calendar page is the safest route for districtwide calendar searches. It includes calendar resources and report card schedule direction, while individual school websites may carry building-level events such as athletic schedules, exams, award nights, open houses or school-specific announcements.

If you searched for Madison County Alabama school calendar, MCSS calendar, first day of school, spring break, fall break, teacher workday, graduation, report card schedule or school closed day, verify the current school year and the exact district before saving a PDF or screenshot.

District calendar

Use this for systemwide school dates, board events and district calendar planning.

School calendar

Use the individual school page for local campus events and school-specific notices.

Report cards

Use the report card schedule route from the calendar page for grading-period timing.

Old PDFs

Check year, district name and update date before sharing a calendar image or PDF.

Calendar caution: Alabama districts do not all follow one statewide local calendar. Madison County Schools and Madison City Schools can have different dates even though both are in the Huntsville/Madison area.

Enrollment

Madison County Schools Enrollment, PowerSchool Enrollment and Student Registration

Madison County Schools uses PowerSchool Enrollment for student enrollment. The official page says all students, new and returning, must enroll through the PowerSchool Enrollment Portal. It also says enrollment can be completed anytime, day or night, and that PowerSchool allows parents to enroll multiple children without repeating the entire process for each child.

The Student Registration Information page is important for record-access and SRA-related issues. It says in-person appointments can be scheduled for SRA-related issues, but walk-in appointments are limited and not recommended due to high demand. For non-SRA questions, families are directed to contact the local school.

1

Confirm the correct school system

Make sure your address belongs to Madison County Schools, not Madison City Schools or Huntsville City Schools.

2

Use PowerSchool Enrollment

Start the new or returning student enrollment process through the official PowerSchool Enrollment route.

3

Check Student Registration Information

Use the registration information page for SRA-related records help and appointment guidance.

4

Contact the local school when told to

For many non-SRA questions, the district points families back to the local school.

School zone

Madison County Schools School Zone, Feeder Patterns and Moving Help

If you are moving into Madison County, Alabama, do not assume the closest school building is automatically your assigned school. Use the official School Zone and Feeder Patterns resources, then contact the school or district if your address is near a boundary line.

This is especially important in the Huntsville, Meridianville, Hazel Green, Harvest, New Market, New Hope, Monrovia, Owens Cross Roads, Buckhorn and Sparkman areas, where a short drive does not always tell you the correct school zone.

Moving tip: Before buying, renting or arranging daily transportation, verify the school zone from the official MCSS route and ask if the address is close to a boundary.
Transportation

Madison County Schools Transportation, Bus Route Information and Here Comes the Bus

For bus route questions, use the MCSS Transportation section and Bus Driver/Route Information page. The district also has transportation contacts, special transportation services, school bus safety resources and bus driver opportunity information.

Madison County Schools has announced Here Comes the Bus as a mobile app and website that provides real-time school bus arrival and departure notifications to phone or email. Use official MCSS transportation communications before depending on neighborhood comments for bus timing.

Bus route issue

Use Transportation / Bus Driver Route Information before calling the board office.

Special transportation

Use the special transportation services route when applicable to student needs.

Bus driver jobs

Use Become a Bus Driver for driver qualifications and opportunity information.

Best call prep

Have student name, school, address, route concern and phone number ready.

Jobs

Madison County Board of Education Jobs, Substitute Teacher Information, Salary Schedule and Bus Driver Opportunities

The official Career Opportunities page is the right starting point for Madison County Schools job searches. It is better than old job reposts because it connects users to current district employment information and school-system hiring routes.
