Meadows Reminders...
Student safety is our number one priority at Meadows. This includes our entire community. Please drive safely at morning drop off and pick up. Please do not park in the "Kiss and Drop" zone. Last week, a car swerved around another car that was parked and almost hit another car. There is no stopping nor getting out of the car in the valet lines in the morning. Take your time, and please slow down. Thank you for keeping our students and families safe!
