Friday Focus
September 27, 2019
From Mrs. Barry:
At Meadow Wood, some of our data points include:
- Daily/weekly student classwork and tests
- Observations
- MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing
- Campus and District Common Assessments
- District Priority Standards Assessments
- Running Records
- STAAR
- Panorama Survey results
By using multiple measures, we are better able to get a full picture of each and every child we serve. This allows us to target our practices to ensure growth and achievement. In October, we will be having parent conferences, where we will review your child's report card grades, as well as MAP scores and other appropriate data. Thank you for working with us to ensure we have the best picture of your child possible.

2019 FALL FUNDRAISER
MWE PTA is making school fundraising easy this year. We have listened to your feedback from last year’s survey where an overwhelming number of you said you preferred writing a check over selling wrapping paper, cookie dough or Booster-thon. So our 2019 MWE fall fundraiser will be donating to the Eagle Excellence Fund. 100% of your contribution will go directly to the PTA general fund which will impact your child’s educational experience at MWE. We value contributions in any amount. Your donation to the Eagle Excellence Fund is tax deductible and may even be matched by your employer if they match charitable donations.
Here are just some of the things that your Eagle Excellence dollars go towards:
- New Playground for MWE
- Student Field Trips
- Faculty and Staff support
- Numerous programs including Red Ribbon Week, Milers, Talent Show and many more
- Staff Appreciation
- Family Point Resources and Sister School Support

The Meadow Wood Community Carnival is coming up soon and we want everyone to come to the carnival and enjoy this fun MWE tradition and community event with your families. The theme is “Rock the Big Top,” and we will have the usual favorites (e.g., dunk booth, Face Paint by Stormy, confetti eggs, silly string, etc.), some hopefully new favorites (e.g., karaoke, photo booth, MWE Pet Shop, new inflatables, etc.), delicious food, and lots of fun for all ages! The Carnival will be held on October 25th from 4pm - 7:30pm.
WE WILL NEED VOLUNTEERS FROM EACH GRADE TO RUN THE BOOTHS!
