Sandburg Elementary Before School Care
There is limited to no facilities and space in our immediate community to support the parents and families of Sandburg Elementary School students for before school care. Sandburg Elementary has been designated by the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) as a “late start” school site where classes begin at 8:35 am. This means that according to the school district, students should not be dropped off before 8:25 am, which is the time that teacher and staff contract hours begin.
If you are a working parent or caregiver and need to drop your child off at Sandburg Elementary School before 8:25 am please sign this petition in support of the MMSD providing a sustainable before school childcare solution to support children and families in the Sandburg Elementary attendance area.
Why is this important?
Parents and families need to be able to get to work before 8:30 am. With Sandburg Elementary being a "late start" school with doors opening at 8:25 am, families need an option to be able to drop their children off in a safe, supervised environment, as early as 7:30 am.
Tell the district that we need them to provide a sustainable before school childcare solution to support children and families in the Sandburg Elementary attendance area. To date, the Madison Metropolitan School District has not offered before school care or paid adult supervision to ensure the wellbeing and safety of children.
