Madisonville Elementary School

Reminders and Procedures for Madisonville Elementary School
Student drop off begins at 7:30 a.m. each day. Please do not leave your child before that time. The double doors on the north side of the building will be locked after 8:00 a.m.; thereafter, students must enter through the front of the building. Always drive slowly, watch for children, and never park in our traffic lanes. Transportation changes are confusing for everyone, so please do not call with changes unless you have a true emergency. Changes made at or near the end of a day are particularly confusing, especially for our little children. They can delay your child's arrival home. If you send a note about a change please include the following: your child’s name, the date the change is to take place, your child’s destination, the name of the person who is responsible for your child, and contact telephone numbers. We will not act on a student’s verbal request for a transportation change. All transportation requests must come from a child’s guardian. While pre-kindergarten students line-up early, the release time for all elementary students (pre-kindergarten through second grade) is 3:10.
Teachers will give you a manila placard if you will let them know that your child is a car rider. Write in your child’s name and display it in your car window at release time. We will be able to spot you faster and ease the traffic flow. At the time of dismissal, our students will be released from multiple areas around the building. Because of this, our teachers are physically limited from the first hand observation of every area. Instead, all campus staff members share the responsibility of getting our students to the correct departure areas and started on the way home. We have a reliable system that helps us keep our students safe and allows us to quickly locate them. Please help us by cooperating with the following procedures: All second graders and those riding with them will exit at the front. All first graders and those riding with them will exit and wait on the north car side. All kindergarteners and those riding with them will exit through the back double doors. All Pre-kindergarten students will exit and wait on the north car side. Thank you.
