Due to the hazardous road conditions caused by the recent winter weather event, Johnston County Public Schools will be closed for all students tomorrow, Friday, January 24, 2025, as well as all extracurricular activities. The district will operate under Condition 3 of the inclement weather plan.
For JCPS staff, this day will become an optional teacher workday. Schools and county offices will open at 10 AM.
As always, safety is our primary concern and after driving our roadways and receiving guidance from local safety officials and NCDOT, we have been advised that though the main roads within high-traffic areas may be clear, many secondary roads within the rural areas of the county are expected to still have hazardous conditions through Friday, making them unsafe for JCPS transportation use. In addition, many of our campuses have shaded walkways, parking lots, and areas that must continue to be assessed by our operational staff before students may safely return.
Extracurricular activities and community facility use will resume on Saturday morning, however, we still encourage site visitors to travel safely and be cautious while on campus, particularly in shaded areas.
Have a great weekend everyone and make the most of what is left of the snow!

Due to the hazardous conditions caused by the recent winter weather, all JCPS schools and office buildings will be closed for students and staff on Thursday, January 23, 2025, as well as all after-school activities and events.
JCPS will operate under Condition One of the Inclement Weather Plan. Please view the details of the plan by visiting the JCPS website at www.johnston.k12.nc.us/weatherconditions.

Getting your 8th Grader READY for College.

Good evening Meadow Families. We hope everyone has had a great weekend. First announcement is a reminder that School is Closed tomorrow-MONDAY- for the MLKJr. Holiday. We will see everyone back on Tuesday. Other announcements are 4th Grade will be attending the Symphony on Tuesday, Class Pictures will take place on Thursday, and we will begin setting up our Book Fair which begins Jan. 27. For athletics, our Basketball teams play at Home on Wednesday against NJMS and at Selma on Thursday. PTO news is, Friday Feb. 7 PTO will host BINGO in our cafeteria. They are in need of prizes. If you can help, please contact them through their FaceBook page. We would like to thank the PTO and all donors that have helped make our courtyard into a more inviting space. We have mulch, picnic tables, and flower planters. We are hoping with warmer weather, classes can take advantage of an outside classroom and parents can use it to have lunch with their children. The winners of the VIP Carpool raffle are Owen Wood, Noah Barefoot (5th grade), and Jackson Honeycutt. They will be able to get picked up at 3:15 and parents can park in the designated spaces.
We look forward to seeing students back at school on Tuesday.

Meadow School hosted Didgeridoo Down Under performer Rob Thomas as part of the Artist in the Schools program and with the support of Meadow School PTO . The students enjoyed learning about Australia's culture, land, and people. As Mr. Thomas shared his knowledge of Australia and his skills with the didgeridoo, he had students accompany him using various instruments. He shared with students the technique for playing the Didgeridoo and had several students try their hand at playing the instrument.
