Dear parents and caregivers,

At MV, we are dedicated to ensuring that you receive weekly updates on your child's academic and social-emotional progress in the classroom. This information is delivered through the weekly Grade Level Newsletter and the Whole School Friday Newsletter, which also includes updates and activities.

Furthermore, we have made an effort to provide translations in several languages for families who prefer a language other than English.

Today, I kindly request your feedback on your experience with our school-to-home communication by completing a two-question survey.

• English
• Spanish

All parents and caregivers should have access to the Weekly Newsletter Tracking document. Below are the links to the tracking documents for each grade level:

• Kindergarten
• 1st grade
• 2nd grade
• 3rd grade
• 4th grade
• 5th grade

We appreciate your support and value your feedback.

Thank you,

Mrs Bell

November is Native Indian Heritage Month.

Meadow View Elementary is excited to celebrate Native Indian Heritage Month this November, an occasion that offers us the opportunity to honor the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native Americans. As a school community, we come together to recognize the importance of embracing and celebrating the heritage of our Native American students, staff, and families. This month serves as a reminder of the historical significance of Indigenous peoples and the resilience of their cultures in the face of adversity.

At Meadow View Elementary, we take immense pride in our school's diversity, as it enriches our educational environment and fosters a greater sense of unity and understanding among our students and staff. By celebrating American Indian Heritage Month, we hope to foster a deeper appreciation for the unique histories and perspectives that Native Americans bring to our school community. Through educational activities, discussions, and shared experiences, we aim to create an inclusive environment that values the contributions of Native American individuals and helps students develop a broader cultural awareness. Our commitment to recognizing and honoring American Indian heritage demonstrates our dedication to celebrating diversity and promoting mutual respect within our school community.

This year we have TWO event options:

• Meal Baskets: Individuals & families can register to pick up a Thanksgiving Meal Basket to pick up on Thursday, November 16th from 3:30-6 PM which will include a turkey, stuffing, and additional fixings for a meal! Meals can be picked up at our Fleming Club (2001 Taft Street, Madison) or our McKenzie Club (232 Windsor Street, Sun Prairie).

OR

• Sina Davis Community Meal: Individuals & families can register to join us for an in-person cooked meal on Thursday, November 23rd from 11 AM - 2 PM at our Allied Club (4619 Jenewein Rd, Fitchburg).

Registration is HERE, and any questions can be directed to community@bgcdc.org.

• November 5th is the LAST day to order Otter Gear. The store will not be reopened until Spring or the next school. OTTER GEAR
• Cherrydale Fundraiser: Monday, November 6th, is the ABSOLUTE LAST DAY to put in orders so everything can arrive by the holidays.

Finally...

We want to thank all of the caregivers and staff that volunteered their time for our annual fall festival. At our next SCO meeting (November 28), we will be starting work groups to discuss and plan the rest of the school year. For example: holiday crafting event, staff appreciation, spring dance, "cuddle up and read", and much more. We hope you'll consider joining us!

Hello MV parents/caregivers,

If your child will be absent from school OR has an appointment during the day, please call the attendance line (608.478.5000, #1). If you email your student's teacher about their absence or appointment, please include me in your email so I can get the message in a timely manner and forgo giving you a safety arrival call; or have your student in the office ready for you if you need to pick them up for an appointment. We always appreciate you letting us know in advance.

Thank you!

If your student has a fever or is feeling ill, please keep them home and call the attendance line for their absence. 608.478.5000, #1

On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday our school day ends at 2:40; Thursday is at 1:30. Students need to be picked up promptly after dismissal.

Teachers are working very hard to keep students engaged, and always provide a safe and loving environment. Please remind your students to keep practicing the Otter Way:
