Happy New Year
Keep Everyone Safe!
I wanted to write a quick note about some safety reminders, especially coming to and from school. It's always a good time to remind students how to get to school safely. It's also a great time to remind the community that our students' safety is everyone's responsibility.
To help train the students, you may wish to take the time to walk with them to school and show students how to cross a street. Other important rules and laws include:
- Use the crosswalk yourself
- Don't encourage students to cross where there isn't a crosswalk
- Be courteous to staff - they are there to keep kids safe and at my direction
- Call the office if you see something we might be able to help with
- I've also noticed dogs, which must be kept far away from the path of students
If you are driving:
- Follow the rules and procedures of our drop off lanes
- Don't park or wait in the bus lane
- Put Down Your Phone
- SLOW DOWN
- Be patient
- Avoid U-turns or other illegal moves - you aren't supposed to do it for safety reasons
- Remember to stop completely at all stop signs
Of course I want everyone at school on time, but I also want everyone at school safely. Please don't hurry in the school zone - a tardy is always better than an accident.
Finally, I want to say again that this is everyone's responsibility. There's no real excuse or reason to place students in danger for adult convenience. Every rule and law has a reason, and at its core is student and community safety.
Thank you for your support!

Meadow Point can really thrive when parents and guardians in the community get involved.
Teachers sometimes need help in the class as well as cutting and sorting papers for classroom projects. We have many functions throughout the year where an hour or two of your time can make a huge difference, for instance our school carnival, fun run, field day, school dances etc.
Our PTCO is also a great way to get involved. The meetings are usually one hour once or twice a month you can sit in and listen to what is going on in the Meadow Point school community and give us your feedback.
