Dashboard – 0% Completion

The dashboard may display 0% completion, but you can see that the completed number of surveys per population is reflected. The tech team at Mosaic is looking into this display issue.

We are asking you to complete the survey to help us learn what parents and guardians think about our school. Your thoughts and opinions are very important. Through this survey, we will use your experiences and opinions to help us build on our strengths and work to make improvements.

The survey will only take about 15 minutes to complete and can be accessed by desktop, laptop, or mobile device. If you have more than one child in this school, please complete the survey with one child’s experiences in mind.

The Delaware School Climate Survey was developed by the Delaware Positive Behavior Support Initiative (a partnership between the Delaware Department of Education and the Center for Disabilities Studies at the University of Delaware). There is no identifying information on the survey, so no one will know how you individually answered any of the questions. Information from completed surveys will be used by the University of Delaware to make a report for our school.

When completing the survey, please do the following:

• Answer every question
• Mark an answer that best describes what you believe about the situation described
• Complete the survey by April 30, 2023
• Complete only 1 survey per child

Please feel free to contact me, or your child’s teacher, if you have any questions about the

Sincerely,

Kathie Mattix

Principal

Students from across the county came together for a Special Olympics Soccer event at Kirkwood Soccer Complex this month. We are so proud of our athletes. Check-out Meadowood's Facebook page for more photos and videos.

Thank you to all the teachers, paraprofessionals, therapists, specialists, administration, and support staff for making both days a memorable event for our students - it truly takes a village. A special thank you to Coach Kaiser for organizing the two day event!!!

Thank you to our wonderful Speech and Language Pathologists and student support staff for all you do! Mary Anne Terzaghi, Liz McCormick, Adriana Aldrich, Darian Beahan, Erin McCarney, Casey Brown, Keri Luckanavage, & Jackie Fulmer

SLP Appreciation Day, or National Speech Pathologist Day, is also celebrated each year on May 18th!

Thank you Kathie Mattix for everything you do for the staff and students! We appreciate you!

Teacher Appreciation Week highlights the hard work and impact of the nation’s teachers and the ways they help shape the future of our society. This year’s theme, Teachers Drive the Future, celebrates the idea that teachers are not just educators—they are one of the key drivers for every child’s journey to their future.

Teachers are the ones who inspire and guide their students to become future leaders and open their eyes beyond academics. Teachers also help to instill values, shape character and empower our children to pursue their dreams and make a positive difference in the world.

A very special thank you to Nurse Vachris, Nurse Buck and Nurse Cunningham for all that you do and to ensure the students and staff are healthy and safe!

Special Olympics athletes show us daily, the courage needed to face extraordinary circumstances on and off the playing field. Now they challenge you to face your fears, catch your breath, step up to the edge and rappel 17 stories from the top floor of 300 Delaware Ave.
