Hello Meadow Lake Families,

We are gearing up for week three of the school year. Our first Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) meeting will occur on Monday night, September 15th, at 6:00 pm in the Meadow Lake media center. If you are new to Meadow Lake or you haven't attended a meeting before, we are looking for families to join us. The PTO is a great way to stay engaged and be involved in decision-making that benefits our school community. 

We continue our Kindergarten color days this week (see post below). It has been fun to see our entire school participate in this two week event. Check out the rest of the newsletter for important school information.

Hello Meadow Lake Families,

We had an incredible first week at Meadow Lake. We acknowledge there were transportation and enrollment issues beyond our control that made it a rough start for some, and we apologize for those delays and inconveniences. 

We look forward to the week ahead. Tomorrow is the first day all of our Prek and Kindergarten students will attend school. We are so excited to have everyone in the building. From here, it's full steam ahead. The 2024-2025 school year is destined for greatness. We can't wait to share all of our successes throughout the year and important information in this newsletter. Please watch for it every Sunday at 5:00 pm.

Hello Meadow Lake Families,

The 2024-2025 school year is officially here! Tuesday, September 3rd, is the first day of school for students in grades 1-5. Prek and Kindergarten have a different start schedule which can be found in another post in this newsletter. It was wonderful to see so many families during Open House despite the stormy start! Check out our Facebook page for pictures of the evening.   

Please take time to review all of the posts in this week’s newsletter as there are many reminders, updates, and resources for families as we start the year.

Whether you are a new family or have been a part of our community for years, we look forward to partnering with you to ensure it's the best year yet at Meadow Lake! 

Students can be dropped off, walk, or arrive by bus at 7:35 am. School starts at 7:45 am. Let's have a great first week!
