Let's Fly Eagles, 2022-2023!
Dear James Madison Families,
On behalf of the staff at James Madison Elementary, I am happy to welcome you to the 2022-23 school year! For our new families, my name is Mrs. Cartland, your principal, and I cannot wait to meet your family in person. We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our children can achieve their highest potential. We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities.

As in past years, only students and staff are allowed in the building during drop off and pick up.

Scooters, bicycles, skates/rollerblades are the responsibility of the owner. The school assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
