Welcome to Madill Elementary
Principal Amy Disalvo
It is with great enthusiasm and pride that I introduce myself as the principal of Grant C. Madill Elementary School. I feel truly fortunate to be a part of the small, close knit community that Madill possesses.
With a wealth of experience in education, I have had the privilege of working in both elementary and middle school environments. My journey has included teaching English Language Arts and social studies to sixth graders, which has been incredibly rewarding. I am passionate about the belief that every student has the potential to succeed. My commitment is to inspire and support each child, helping them to achieve their fullest potential.
It has been a true joy to work with our wonderful school community and district. I am dedicated to collaborating closely with our administrative team to create an environment where students can excel academically, emotionally, and personally. Our shared commitment to providing a high-quality education for every student is unwavering. By working together as a team—families, educators, and the community—I am confident that we will always prioritize the best interests of our children in every decision we make.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.

Elementary School Visitors
We ask that all visitors, at both Kennedy and Madill, enter our building using the main entrances. Once in the reception area, you can ask to meet with a teacher, pick up your child, etc. Office personnel will contact the teacher to verify your appointment. When verified, you will be required to provide proper identification (such as a driver’s license), which will allow us to create a photo visitor’s tag which must be worn visibly when you are in the building. If you are a volunteer or classroom guest you will sign in and take a visitor/guest name tag.
Reach a School Nurse
School nurses serve as a vital link between school, home, and the healthcare community, assisting parents with managing their child’s health concerns. Visit the Health & Wellness page for school nurse contact information.
