Back to School Organization & Routines
Along with excitement, it is normal to feel a little nervous about the return to school. Getting organized and being prepared before the first day can help alleviate stress for both students and parents. Additionally, following a routine beginning day one can set the tone for the remainder of the school year. There is comfort in routine! Below you will find articles that provide tips for reducing anxiety and setting up your child for success this school year.
We are excited to welcome your child to Meadows on Tuesday!

SCHOOL LUNCHES
Free School Meals for All Students Has Ended
When the 2021-2022 school year ended, so did free meals for every student. The
federal government funded this program that allowed all students access to free meals
during the COVID-19 pandemic, but Congress recently declined to continue funding this
program.
We understand this change may cause you to worry. However, there are important steps
you can take NOW to be sure your student receives the meals they need this school year.
If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals they can still receive them this fall, but
you must take action to make it happen.
Please complete the 2022-2023 online application, which will be available on the
district’s website. Paper applications are also available at the school where your child
attends.
If you do not qualify for free or reduced meals, you may begin depositing money into
student accounts at any time to prepare for the cost of school lunches next year.
Information on meal prices for the 2022-2023 school year can be seen by clicking on the photo above.
