Life @ the Lane
Looking to give back to our school community through your time & talent? Here's your opportunity. If you'd like to volunteer at Meadow Lane, the district has a short, required training video. Please take a minute to watch this short video.
Once you've finished, please complete the linked Form. This is a yearly form, so even if you've completed it in the past, you will need to complete it for the 21-22 school year. You will not be able to volunteer without this form on file!

Dismissal Safety Measures
MLE's common procedures to ensure our students and staff remain safe, especially during our busy dismissal time.
1. Any changes in transportation must be called into the front office no later than 2:30 each day. This allows our staff time to share the message with teachers and other adults tasked with supervision.
2. When picking up a student directly from the office, we ask that you arrive no later than 3:50. After that time our busses begin to arrive and students have already prepped for dismissal. Please plan ahead if you need your child(ren) early for any reason.
3. Students will only be released to a guardian in a vehicle in the car rider location. We cannot release a student to walk with a guardian when in the car rider area.
