Keeping our Campus Safe
We appreciate your support to keep our campuses safe by talking to your child about the adverse effects of peer pressure sometimes found on social media platforms. Whether you allow your student to have social media, they will likely hear about this virtual trend. This “challenge” presents an opportunity to speak with your children about appropriate use of technology and being socially responsible.
We ask that you please speak with your student and remind them that this “challenge” is criminal behavior, not an innocent prank. Let’s work together to put a stop to this now.
Cross Country
Want to be part of the Meadowbrook Cross Country team? We practice after school Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:45 P.M. (for non-Academy students) and 3:45 P.M. (for Academy students). And we race in district-wide meets on Fridays. The team meets up by the track outside the school after 7th period, and then move over to the lower grass field at the end of Eisenhower after 8th period. Everyone can be a runner! Are you already fast? Get ready to compete for greatness! Do you want to improve your speed and make friends? Don’t know much about running, but want to try? This is the team for you!

2021-2022 Minimum School Days
Parent Teacher Conferences
Our Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Monday, October 11th to Friday, October 15th. This is an opportunity to discuss your child’s academic progress. It is important that your child is present at this conference. They are the focus of the meeting and need to participate.
Conferences are held for all students receiving a grade of C-, D, or F in any class. If so, your child’s teacher(s) will contact you to schedule an appointment for a conference.
Voluntary conferences for students receiving a C or higher can be scheduled by calling or e-mailing the teacher.
Bus transportation will be available on Minimum days.
