Flint Hill Elementary School Parking Lots

• Please help keep students, families and staff safe during arrival and dismissal hours. While we understand that arrival and dismissal can be busy times for traffic around JMHS, please do not use the Flint Hill Elementary parking lots and bus loop for student drop-off, pick-up or to avoid traffic on Flint Hill Rd.
  • Morning “cut-through” traffic creates traffic hazards for children arriving for morning activities and obstructions to elementary staff who are arriving to begin their instructional day.
  • In the afternoon, cars that wait in the rear parking lot and bus loop are obstructing access for deliveries, emergency vehicles and creating a traffic hazard on school grounds during active school hours.
• Beginning on 10/19/22, FHES staff will close these areas to deter unnecessary vehicle access. Please follow these expectations and also encourage your student drivers to use caution and patience while driving near Flint Hill Elementary. Thank you for helping to keep the future Warhawks at FHES safe.

One School | One Community | One World

Madison High School strives to create and maintain an identity affirming learning environment where our students embrace, support, and encourage each other where multiple forms of identity (i.e. race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or disability) are recognized and regarded as assets for teaching and learning. We work to ensure school is a place where students feel safe and can be themselves. We do not tolerate hate speech, racist speech, bias, or acts of discrimination in our school. We want all students to feel a sense of belonging. We want to see all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to learning, growing, and building the best Madison High School for all our students. We are One School - One Community - One World.
