Car Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
The Madison Elementary staff is committed to providing a secure and organized process to ensure the safety of all children. Parents, please follow the listed procedures and join in our commitment to make this process simple and safe for all children.
It is against the law to use your cell phone while in any school zone.
Supervision does not occur until 9:00 AM. Please keep this in mind for the safety of your child.
During arrival and dismissal times, we treat Mayo Drive as a one-way street. Traffic should only flow east.
Do not use Center Avenue to access the Drop-Off and Pick-Up line.
Pull forward as far as you can in the lane and parents stay in the vehicle.
Students should enter and exit your vehicle on the curbside, while you stay in your vehicle.
Park on nearby streets if your child requires assistance exiting the vehicle.
When leaving the Drop-off/Pick-Up Lane, please wait for all cars to load/unload. Cars should leave in the same order without passing others.
Please practice these procedures with your little ones so they are prepared and confident to exit the vehicle on time.
Socially-Distanced Entrance and Exit
Socially-Distanced Entrance and Exit: We will continue our socially distanced arrival and dismissal procedures from last school year, utilizing 13 outside doors for staggered entrance and exit procedures. We will no longer congregate in the gym and MPR on rainy days. Be prepared for all weather conditions. Our students riding the bus access the bus on Creekside Drive and there will be ample staff to assist each day.
