Welcome
to Meadow School
Multiple Winner of the California Distinguished School Award
Two Time Blue Ribbon Recipient
Meadow School thrives on excellence. We are focused on student success,
both academically and socially. Our continual high test scores, strong
employee morale, excellent student behavior, and tremendous parent involvement
are exemplified by our motto, "Relentlessly Pursuing Success for
all." Meadow School is a community of life long learners who enjoy
interacting with one another. Our highly qualified teachers work as
a team to promote individual and group excellence. We value our students
and the unique talents they bring to our school.
We are proud that we have twice been awarded the Blue Ribbon Honors
Award, most recently last year. Only thirty-five schools across California
were nominated, and we were the only school north of San Francisco in
this group! Our nomination was based on consistently scoring in the
top 10% of the state on assessments tests, showing API growth over several
years, and meeting 2004 API growth targets. Our API scores continued
to grow this year. Our dedicated, committed, creative, talented staff
works hard to keep Meadow as one of the top schools in California.
This year Meadow is integrating a Character Education program into our
school. Each month we will highlight a different trait in our classrooms
and at our assemblies. In addition, Meadow is proud to continue our
"Bully Free Zone" policy. Our entire student body has decided
that bullies do not have a place at Meadow, and we work hard to focus
on positive, inclusive, interactive behavior. We are thankful that the
Meadow community- students, teachers, administration and parents- all
work together to keep Meadow a safe place to learn.
We hope that you will take some time to enjoy our website. This year
we are actively working on making our site even better and more useful.
The various links will allow you to explore some of the programs that
are offered at Meadow. Please take time to learn about our active, involved
and AMAZING PTA (link is in the top left corner). If you have not yet
joined, please do so, as we would love to have you as part of our team.
Our goal this year is 100% parent participation! We truly believe that
a team approach is essential in the success of educating our children.
You will also find informative web pages for each of our teachers (top
right corner of this page). Click on the link and then scroll down until
you find your childs teacher. Then, click on that link, and see
all the wonderful things your child will be doing and learning this
year! You will see why our community is proud of us, and why we are
so proud to be in our community. We are confident that your child will
enjoy learning at Meadow School!
