This is a courtesy reminder about the pickup and
dropoff expectations for both before and after school. If you are dropping your student off to start
the school day, please use the right hand lane for drop-offs, and feel free to
make use of the entire sidewalk area for your student to have access to the
building. This will streamline our
dropoff process, and allow for parents to use the left lane to exit safely from
the school property. Please do not drop
your student off while utilizing the left lane, as this forces them to cross traffic,
and hinders the flow of exiting vehicles.
Please do not use the left lane to gain access to the right lane. Parents should not use the New Madison
Community Center for drop offs.
Students who walk to school from the north of New
Madison, should use the circular sidewalk adjacent to the turnaround, which
will keep them separate from the flow of vehicle traffic. Should
a student need to cross a flow of street traffic, please encourage them to use
painted crosswalks to ensure safety.
We encourage any student who can walk to school to do
so if the weather allows, as to alleviate potential traffic issues, and create
a safer environment for our children.
