Meadows Messenger
Weekly update for the Meadows Elementary School community
Welcome Back to School!
Summer has ended and school begins this Thursday! Welcome to the 2020 school year! Our teachers look forward to meeting their students. We would like to extend a special welcome to any of our new Meadows' families. The Meadows Messenger is our weekly communication. Every Sunday evening, except during holidays, you will receive the Meadows Messenger to your email inbox. It will contain weekly updates and any events being planned for our students. We hope to answer some of your questions and give you a few things to get ready for the start of the year.
If you are on social media, I highly encourage to join us on Facebook and Instagram. We send out reminders and communications weekly. And, during digital learning, there will be opportunities to stay connected!

Digital Learning Academy
All students are starting the school year in the digital learning format. This means that each teacher will have a Google Classroom for students to access. In the digital classroom, students will find assignments and important links to resources to support learning. Teachers will also provide a schedule for live meetings with the class, typically in groups, to support learning.
It is a requirement that students log-in each day, complete assignments, and participate in live sessions with their teacher. This will be our learning format until we are permitted to allow students on campus. Classes start August 13th.
Hybrid Learning (AM/PM Classroom Format):
When students are allowed on campus, we will notify families who signed up for the hybrid program with the details of the transition.How to Navigate the Google Classroom by Newhall School District
