Dear Boone Meadow Families -
It's been another busy week here at The Meadow.
ZCS Do Day: As you can see from the photos above, Zionsville "Do Days" were a success this week. Classes throughout the building picked up trash on our campus, participated in a food drive for the Caring Center, wrote letters of encouragement to safety partners and veterans, fed the hungry, as well as, many other acts of service. What a wonderful, tangible way to serve our community and serve others.
Unified Champions/Special Olympics: Today was Bubblegum & Hat Day to celebrate BME's participation in fundraising for Special Olympics, which yielded a whopping $841. Thank you for supporting our Unified Champion athletes. Bravo on a job well-done!
New and Returning Students: We welcomed many new faces into classrooms this week, and we have more new students coming. Families continue to move into our community and enrollment numbers for the coming year are strong. Thank you for welcoming neighbors into your community and sharing positive stories of our school. These stories trickle back to us, and we are grateful to engage in such a fine partnership with you.
Kindergarten "Strong Start" & Incoming Kindy Registration: Please continue spreading the word that enrollment is open and available to those families within the ZCS boundaries. Early registration helps us with planning for the upcoming year.
NWEA testing window began on Monday, March 15th, and continues through April 1st. Your child's teacher should communicate dates of testing for their classes.
Have a great weekend!
In this together,
Tom

Crosswalk Safety Guidance
Dear Families of BME Walkers & Bike Riders –
Safety is one of our highest concerns for students and staff at BME. Please read carefully in effort to partner for your child’s safety as they utilize the crosswalk, especially during dismissal at the end of the day.
- In effort to provide families the opportunity to utilize the car rider line on tricky weather days (or dodge construction on fire hydrants), all walkers/bikers will be dismissed last each day. You will note that our car line will have approximately 10-20 cars remaining in line when we call walkers/bikers from their classrooms for dismissal. This results in your child leaving the building and being escorted to the crosswalk 5-10 minutes later than you are currently accustomed.
- Secondly and whenever possible, please meet your child(ren) at the crosswalk. BME staff can assist students to the edge of school property, and they will serve to assist students as they cross South Main Street. As we consider the safety of students and staff, we are unable to assist students to the pool/playground parking lot at Clark Meadows as BME staff cannot be liable for safety (crossing streets, traffic, etc…) once off school property.
As always, we thank you for your partnership as we strive to keep students and staff safe.

Diversity Coalition
ZCS and the Zionsville Diversity Coalition partnered to create a list of mentor texts that support our elementary adopted literacy curriculum. Books donated will be placed in our elementary classrooms for teachers to use and to offer our students mirrors (seeing themselves), windows (seeing others), and doors (opportunities to learn about differences) because in ZCS, EVERYONE BELONGS!
