Good evening Meadow families. We hope everyone had a great weekend. We have a busy week with athletics: Baseball, Softball, Soccer play at Neuse Charter Monday, at Princeton Tuesday, and at home Thursday against Smithfield. Neuse requires that you purchase tickets through GoFan. Our Track team has a meet at Smithfield on Friday. Our Elementary students have a First Priority meeting on Wednesday at 7:30 in the MEdia Center. We are excited to announce that we are starting a Middle School First Priority. Students in grades 6th-8th should get a permission form from their homeroom teacher that has a QR code to complete. Middle School will begin on Wednesday April 24 and meet in the gym. Monday we will send home Report Cards with students. We hope you enjoy the remainder of the evening and at MEadow, Success begins with ME (all of us)

Good evening Meadow Families. I hope everyone has enjoyed their break. Just a reminder, tomorrow (Monday), is a teacher workday and we are still closed to students. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Tuesday. There are just a few announcements for this week. On Thursday our 6th grade students will have a field trip and on Friday our 7th grade students have a field trip. Please pay attention to the weather and dress accordingly. On Thursday our Softball, Soccer, and Baseball team play at home against Princeton. Last, you will notice new markings on our pavement as well as a new connector between the bus lot and main lot. In the coming weeks we will send out information about our new afternoon carpool process. Our goal is to start our new process the week of April 22. Be on the lookout for information sent home with students, on our social media, and a phone message. This pattern will create a safer process for our families and community.

Good afternoon parents. We wanted to let you know that after much consideration, weather watching, and communication with Bush Gardens, we feel it is in the best interest and safety of our students and staff to postpone the fieldtrip. Therefore, 5th grade will not be traveling to Bush Gardens on Thursday. We are working with the charter bus company to find an open date to reschedule the fieldtrip. Bush Gardens is allowing us to reschedule as the tickets are good through November 2024. We will update you on the rescheduled date once we have confirmation from the charter bus company.

Our 5th graders have a field trip on Thursday, please be sure to check the weather since this is an outdoor field trip.
