Good evening Meadow families. I hope everyone had a great weekend. We are looking forward to another great week at Meadow School. We have a few announcements for this week. As we begin another week, we need students to walk themselves to class. We have plenty of staff members in carpool, at the doors, and in the hall to help students find their way to class. I also need to ask that students are picked up through the carpool process. The only students released to an adult is if the student is being picked up prior to 3:00. We understand carpool is long. We have close to 90 more students this year totaling 668. We begin calling students at 3:25 and typically are finished by 3:45. It is a quick process when we all work together. Our athletic events for the week are Volleyball and Soccer home Monday against Neuse Charter and at Smithfield MS Thursday. Our Football team plays at home Wednesday against North Johnston. Just a reminder that our PTO and Meadow Market has the Gas Pump fundraiser going on. Please stop at Meadow Market to fill up. You will support a local business and a portion of the proceed will go back to our PTO. We hope you all have a great evening.

At Tuesday's State Board of Education meeting, test results from 2022/2023 were approved and released. Meadow School is one of 4 JCPS schools to finish in the top 5% of the State. Our growth index was 6.01, slightly down from 21/22 (6.89). We are THE ONLY school in JCPS to be in the top 5% for two consecutive years!! We have increased our school grade from a 65-C to a 68-C. Our goal this year is to reach the 70-B level. All of this could not be accomplished without the support of our families and community, and the outstanding work and dedication from our school staff. It is proven that MEadow success begins with ME!

Tonight's soccer and volleyball games will begin at 6:00 due to the heat.
