Meadow School Athlete of the Week, September 30th-October 4th. Congratulations Charley!

Thousands of supplies. Hundreds of donors. One common goal…helping those in their time of need. ❤ Today our Facility Services team gathered supplies from our schools, which were Hurricane Helene Relief donation sites. In a few hours, these supplies will be transported to Western North Carolina. Thank you to the many, many students, parents, and staff who have responded promptly and compassionately. Also, a special thanks to Johnston County Government and the Johnston County Sheriff's Office for allowing us to partner with you in this effort. 🤝

JCPS communities came together in an extraordinary way for our neighbors in Western North Carolina! 🌟 Donations from our schools for the Hurricane Helene Relief filled three dump trailers, three 3 box trucks, two pickup trucks, and two vans! This outpouring of kindness, compassion, and generosity is what our school system is built upon. We thank everyone involved in this effort! We continue to keep everyone affected by this devastating event in our hearts! ❤

JCPS continues to exceed the state average graduation rate! 🎓 In 2024 our graduation rate was 91.3%, well above the state average of 86.9%. 🥳 #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

As we provide critical assistance to our neighbors in Western North Carolina, here's a reminder of our district's partnership with Johnston County Government's Hurricane Helene Relief Effort. The region is in dire need of new, unused blankets. As you continue supporting the relief efforts, place these at the top of the list. Thank you!

It's National Custodial Workers Day! 🌟 JCPS is honored to celebrate these remarkable team members who work relentlessly to ensure our students and staff have a clean and safe learning environment. Custodians work behind the scenes, but are essential in education! A special THANK YOU to these heroes! ❤

Good evening Meadow Families. I hope you all are well. I apologize for not sending out a message last night, but with school being canceled Friday I did not have access to all the information. Today our Volleyball and Soccer teams played at Benson. On Thursday our Football team will play at home against Princeton. Many have asked about donations for those affected by the hurricane in the western part of our State. Our District is sending a message about collection efforts. The following is a message from our PTO, the swag shop is still open this week for purchases of Meadow Spirit wear and the 100th anniversary t-shirt. The Fall raffle continues this. If you need more tickets please send a note on your child’s raffle ticket envelope. Fill up you tank at Meadow Market. During the month of October portions of the proceeds wil be donated to the PTO. We hope you all have a great week.

October is #NationalPrincipalsMonth! 🥳 Starting tomorrow, keep an eye on our feed all month long to catch your principal's highlight, and give them a shout out! National Principals Month is a time to honor and celebrate the important role school principals play in the education system, and in the lives of students and staff. We look forward to seeing your loving comments about our principals! ❤

Did you know... JCPS is 1 of 12 districts to exceed pre-pandemic achievement? Not only that, six of our amazing schools exited low performing status. All student subgroups are above pre-pandemic achievement, and JCPS is closing the achievement gaps. #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

The next data highlight from the 2023-2024 school year data report is phenomenal! Twenty-three of our schools earned their way into the top 20% of the state for growth. This accomplishment is just one example of students, teachers, and parents working together to propel our district up! #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS
