School Safety, Meadows Guardians and Traffic
School safety includes both emotional and physical safety. Our students physical safety includes making sure they have a safe path for entry and exit to school and as a community, we are patient and safe drivers. Click on the link here to see the driving pattern for drop off and pick up. In the morning you will see our safety supervisors, administration and Meadows Guardians (parent volunteers) helping guide students from their vehicles or paseos onto campus. In the afternoon, our teachers join us for dismissal. Please note that the first few weeks of school, we have many new parents who may be learning our traffic drop off and pick up patterns. Please see this link for the bell schedule for the arrival and dismissal for school. And, thank you for working together as one community to keep our students safe!
Parent and Community Survey-Your Participation is Valued!
Please share with me, your new principal your insights on Meadows Elementary School. Here is a link to the survey.
This survey has been created to give you a voice. It is created for parents and community members as an opportunity to provide the new principal feedback on what you love about Meadows, the traditions you'd like to keep, and anything you'd like to change or see grow. We appreciate your participation in this survey. Thank you!
Continuing Traditions We Love...
Our school-wide theme this year is "You have within you the strength, patience, and passion to reach for the stars and change the world." Thank you to our former principal, Mrs. Howe for making this selection for this school year. Details on how your child can participate in our school-wide art display and bulletin board will be contained in your welcoming back to school packet which you will receive on the first day of school. Also, in that new packet, you'll get information about how to purchase our new spirit gear. Here is a link for easy online purchases.
First Day of School on 8/15/19
