Meadow Elementary News & Updates

The Week of April 29, 2024

As the days get warmer and the sun is out, it might sound like a good idea to take your family dog for a walk at drop-off or pick-up. Please be mindful that dogs are not allowed on campus.

The interior sidewalks along the office and multi are part of our campus. We have a number of students who are afraid of dogs. Thank you for supporting all students to have a calm and safe arrival and dismissal each school day.

A Message from Mrs. Haugen

Please consider a home challenge of perfect, on-time attendance for May! We'd love to see our absent student list shrink down to zero! When students miss school, the day of return can feel disjointed. When students miss school, teachers take extra time to catch them up on things missed--skills, assignments, information. When students miss school, their friends miss them. As always, you are the best judge of your child's wellness for school. But if they are able, we'd prefer to have all students here every day.
