Busing, Drop-off, & Pick-up
Again for this year for both parent drop-off and parent pick-up, the entrance into the MMS parking lot off of Miami, will be an EXIT ONLY. When arriving for drop-off and pick-up, cars should enter into the MMS parking lot from Marvin Ave. A couple of reminders:
- Students should not enter or exit a car until it has reached the semi-circle area by the building.
- In order to keep a standing carline to a minimum timeframe, we ask that cars not arrive any earlier than 2:45pm for end of the day pick-up. Students are not released until 3:00.
- When waiting in the car line, please do not block the driveways of our community residents.
- Cars arriving for pick-up will need to stay in the pick-up line. Do not park in staff or visitor parking and wait for your student.
- Always be present and aware around your vehicle, keeping free of distractions such as cell phones.
The above reminders are important to keep our students safe. If you choose to drive your student to school or pick-up, please be patient. It will take some time to properly go through the drop-off and pick-up line. We will do our best to assist outside for a smooth process.

School Fees
Each year it is necessary to have student fees to pay for the consumable materials used by your child during the school year. These materials are workbooks, paperback novels, or online resources that the students use or art supplies they use for their projects, which need to be re-ordered for the following year.
It is highly recommended that every student purchase the optional chromebook insurance, which is $25 per year. When accessing EZPay you will need to do the "add-on" to add the insurance. The deadline for purchasing chromebook insurance is September 30, 2022. Total fees with this option selected will be $82 for each student.
If you plan to pay by check, please make the check payable to Madeira Middle School, and include your child’s name. You can also pay the fee using a VISA, MasterCard, or Discover by going to the district website www.madeiracityschools.org click on Quicklinks then on Student Fees and follow the prompts.
If you are unable to pay the fees right away, please contact the office at
