Meadowbrook 2024-2025 Middle School Redesign!
We have some exciting news to share that we believe will enhance your child's educational experience!
We are thrilled to announce that starting in the 2024-2025 school year, all Meadowbrook students will have the fantastic opportunity to explore two elective courses! Our dedicated staff has been diligently co-planning and preparing for the upcoming year, aiming to provide a diverse range of options that cater to the varied interests and passions of our middle school students.
As part of our ongoing middle school redesign, our primary focus is to create an environment where students can not only excel academically but also discover and nurture their passions. We want to provide more opportunities for your child to explore, experience, and connect with their interests and the wider community.
Friday, we had the pleasure of engaging with our students to learn more about their interests. The feedback is invaluable and covers a wide array of areas, including performing arts, technology, Spanish, and much more! We are excited to incorporate this input into the development of our elective offerings.
Please be on the lookout for more information as we finalize the details of the expanded elective program. We believe that these additional opportunities will not only contribute to the academic growth of our students but also allow them to develop important life skills and foster a love for learning. We are committed to providing a supportive and enriching learning environment for your child, and we appreciate your ongoing partnership in their education.
