Madison High School Tardy Reminder

At Madison High School, we are committed to creating a positive learning environment where every student has the opportunity to be successful. Arriving to school on time is an important part of that success. Students who arrive on time are better prepared to participate in class, engage with their teachers and classmates, and make the most of each instructional day.

To help ensure a smooth start to the school day, please review our morning arrival procedures below.

Morning Schedule

8:25 AM – Students Report to Classrooms

Students are dismissed from common areas and should report directly to their assigned classrooms to prepare for the start of the school day.

8:30 AM – Classes Begin

Instruction begins promptly at 8:30 AM. Students should be seated and ready to learn when the bell rings.

After 8:35 AM – Late Arrival Procedure

Students arriving after 8:35 AM are considered tardy. A parent or guardian must escort the student into the building and sign them in at the front office before the student may report to class.

Thank You for Your Partnership

Your support in helping your student arrive at school on time each day makes a meaningful difference. Consistent attendance and punctuality contribute to academic success, build positive habits, and help minimize disruptions to the learning environment for all students.

Thank you for partnering with Madison High School to support student success. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to making every school day count.
