Madison Metropolitan School District: Official Website Guide to Enrollment, Schools, and Calendars
Updated
The official Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) website is madison.k12.wi.us. Start on the homepage to reach online enrollment for the 2026–27 school year, browse schools by level, check the district calendar, and follow current district news. The homepage is the fastest route to all of these because it surfaces each one directly rather than requiring you to hunt through menus.
Confirm You Are on the Official Site
MMSD is the second-largest school district in Wisconsin. Its stated vision is that every school is a thriving school that prepares every student to graduate ready for college, career, and community. The official homepage identifies the district by name and carries the district's own news, calendar, and enrollment links. If a page you land on does not show the MMSD name, the district vision statement, or links back to madison.k12.wi.us, treat it as unofficial and return to the homepage.
Enroll for the 2026–27 School Year
Online enrollment for the 2026–27 school year is open, and the homepage carries a direct ENROLL link. Use it as your entry point:
- Open madison.k12.wi.us.
- Find the enrollment announcement on the homepage and select ENROLL.
- Complete the online enrollment process from there.
The homepage does not publish enrollment deadlines, required documents, or fee information, so confirm those details on the enrollment pages the link leads to before you submit.
Browse Schools with Quicklinks and Select a School
The homepage provides two browsing tools:
- Quicklinks — a shortcut area for common district resources.
- Select a School — a school directory organized into Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, and High Schools.
To find a specific school, open Select a School, choose the school level, then pick the school from the list. This is the reliable way to reach a school's own pages rather than searching the web for a school name.
Check the District Calendar
The homepage includes a District Calendar section listing upcoming dates with times. Examples of what appears there:
| Date | Event | Time |
|---|---|---|
| October 26 | Regular Board of Education Meeting | 6:00–9:00 PM |
| November 2 | No school for elementary school; elementary conferences (evening) | All day |
| November 2 | Instruction Work Group | 5:00–8:00 PM |
| November 3 | No school for 4K/elementary school (family-teacher conferences) | All day |
Use View More under the calendar to see the full schedule. This is where to confirm board meeting dates, no-school days, and conference schedules before planning around them.
Follow News, Plans, and Construction Updates
The homepage's news area covers current district activity, including:
- Boundary review — "Building for the Future" covers the current boundary review process.
- Strategic plan — the five-year plan "MMSD: Excellence Together."
- 2024 referenda construction — site updates on steel beams, roofs, and plumbing.
- Student and staff stories — for example, East Girls' volleyball mentoring newcomers, barbering skills and career opportunities, and literacy support with sock puppets at Anana Elementary.
- School milestones — Sennett and Cherokee Heights breaking ground on new schools.
Select View More under News & Announcements for the full list. If you are following a boundary change or a construction project that affects your school, this section is where updates appear first.
Find Contact Details
The homepage footer includes Contact Us, Social Media, and Enrollment links. Use Contact Us when you need to reach the district directly rather than a specific school.
