Good Afternoon Meadowside Families,
Our school wide open house is scheduled for this coming Tuesday, September 9th from 6:00 - 8:00. The evening is scheduled so that our parents and guardians can visit classrooms and meet teachers and support staff throughout the building. Please click HERE for an overview. We are so looking forward to seeing parents and guardians and introducing you to our learning communities - please note that there is no child care during the evening.
Fourth and Fifth Grade Families: Please read the linked letter here regarding Instrumental (Band and Strings) registration for the 2025-2026 School Year.
News from our PTA:
All our Parents and Guardians are invited to JOIN PTA! There are so many things that Meadowside PTA does to support our community - from Picnics and STEM nights to book fairs and plant sales - your membership helps support all our programs. Register and become a member by using this link.
Interested in not only being a PTA member but also hearing about and maybe even helping plan some of our upcoming events, please reach out to PTA with questions at ptameadowside@gmail.com or stop by our meet and greet on Tuesday September 16th at 6:00 PM. Hoping you will come and join in conversations about how to support our Meadowside students, families and staff throughout the year and help plan some fun events for all!
PTA is providing a FREE Meadowside T-Shirt to all of our students at our Fall Fun Run -- tentatively scheduled for October 30th -- and to wear throughout the school year. If you haven’t done so already, please click HERE to sign up for your child’s FREE 25-26 school shirt.
PTA is also selling spirit wear. You can check out the options HERE.
Important Safety Reminder: The back parking lot is reserved for staff during the school day. Parents should not be utilizing it for pick up in the afternoon as it poses a safety issue with students and staff loading on buses at the side of the building. It is important to note that cars can not block our school buses and per state law and safety protocols should never pass a bus with their stop sign extended.
