From Mrs. Barry
I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Spring Break! It's hard to believe we are in the last nine weeks of school! I'm always amazed when we return from this vacation at how much our Eagles seemed to have grown. They seem taller and more mature. I'm also excited to share that we have seen great academic growth, as well. These last few months will focus on pushing our students to finish out the year strong and to be ready for district and state assessments, as well as for the next grade level. Please be sure you read the Eagle Updates, as well as any communication from your child's teachers, as April and May have a lot of important things going on. As always, your support is greatly appreciated!
Meadow Wood Elementary - GREAT happens here!
Rock Your Socks!
On Tuesday, March 21, 2023, we will wear crazy/striped/different socks in honor of World Down Syndrome Day! Fun fact: About 95% of people with Down syndrome have Trisomy 21, which means they have 3 separate copies of chromosome 21 instead of the typical 2 copies. Show support to our Meadow Wood students and help us celebrate them! We are all different and that is beautiful.
Welcome New CIT members!

Western Wear Donations
Donate Western Wear for Go Texan Day for the year 2024!
Family Point Resources' Caring Cowpoke Store is collecting Western Wear your child has outgrown or will outgrow to give another child the chance to dress up for Go Texan Day in the year 2024!
We welcome hats, shirts, scarves, boots and any school appropriate Western Wear.
You can drop off your Western Wear donation at the designated Box at the MWE front office starting Monday, March 20, and the last day to drop off your items will be Friday, March 31. Or you can also drop off items at FPR 725 Bateswood Drive 77079.
We thank you in advance for your participation.
Important Date Changes!
Wednesday, April 26, will be a regular school day. Transportation will run on regular full-day schedules and all after school programming will occur as regularly scheduled.
Because of this decision, our STAAR test dates have changed. The new dates are:
- April 26 - Reading STAAR
- May 3 - Science STAAR (5th only)
- May 10 - Math STAAR
As a reminder, please be sure your student is on time on these days, and please try not to schedule afternoon appointments. Testing procedures are very strict, and tardiness/early leaving can impact your child's testing environment. Also, visitors/volunteers are not allowed on campus on these dates. Thank you for your understanding!
MWE Calendar of Events
Reminder: Every week we have T-2-4 Tuesday - students are encouraged to wear their favorite college or military shirt. Fridays are MWE Spirit Day! Wear your Eagle attire!
