October 3, 2024
8:30 p.m.Due to significant damage to the Madeira Beach Fundamental campus, Osceola Fundamental will host the Madeira Beach Fundamental middle school students on the campus until repairs can be made at Maderia Beach to ensure a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students. It is anticipated that this will take at least several months. Please see the relocation plan information below.
We've changed the afternoon pick-up procedures to help reduce wait times and traffic congestion during dismissal between 12:04 p.m. and 12:34 p.m., starting tomorrow, Friday, October 4.
The car loop on the south side of the school (off 94th Avenue), described as Lot 2 on the map, will be available for student pick-up at 12:00 p.m. Please do not arrive earlier and park in the loop because it’s being used for Madeira Beach Fundamental Middle School drop-offs until then. If you park in the loop before 12:00 p.m., you will be asked to move along.
We also ask that you avoid parking on the street before noon. This can cause traffic backups, as many of you experienced today.
The student parking lot off 98th Street N, (Lot 1 on the map) will remain available for dismissal. Please do not arrive before noon.
