Dear Otter Families,
As many of you know, Meadow View is the most diverse elementary school in Sun Prairie, which means we have students from many corners of the world, representing 10+ languages and various ethnic backgrounds.
Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15th to October 15th, is an incredibly exciting time for us to celebrate the diversity, traditions, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities in the USA. And you know what? It's a big deal for us at Meadow View Elementary School!
But why do we celebrate? Well, it's not just a party – it's a chance for all of us to learn about different cultures, share experiences, and appreciate the fantastic achievements of Hispanic individuals who've made their mark in all sorts of cool ways. Whether it's in the fields of art, science, literature, or standing up for what's right, there are amazing stories waiting to be discovered. By celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, we're saying "¡Hola!" to diversity, inclusivity, and understanding. It's like a big family gathering where we learn from each other and grow closer. So, let's get ready to have a blast, learn loads, and strengthen our Meadow View community together!
One of our commitments is to honor all staff and students' cultural diversity and backgrounds. That's why we're so excited to invite you to our first Cultural Celebration on Thursday, September 28th at 8:00 AM (please see the attached invitation).
If you have Latino roots, this is your time to shine! Flaunt your Latino pride with flags, traditional outfits, hats, and accessories from your country. Let's make this celebration burst with color and culture! All our families, students, and community members are invited to this celebration.
We can't wait for you to join us in this beautiful celebration.
Un abrazo,
Mrs. Bell

Arrival & Dismissal Procedures Starting September 11
Hello 4K Parents,
We extend our heartfelt thanks for joining us at our Open House on Wednesday. It was a pleasure meeting you, and we are thrilled to welcome your little otters next Monday.
In preparation for the upcoming school year, we have thoroughly reviewed safety guidelines with our 4K staff and Director, in alignment with the District's safety procedures for arrival and dismissal.
For the safety and well-being of all our students, it is imperative that:
**All parents must PARK in the designated parking lot** and proceed to **DOOR #1** to either drop off or pick up their 4K students. For safety reasons, children cannot walk to the car with their siblings, and older siblings cannot escort their 4K siblings to Ms. Ali. In summary, as caregivers, you are required to drop off and pick up your 4K students every day at Door 1.
**Parents are kindly requested to park in the designated parking lot** and refrain from using the drop-off and pick-up line.
Please note that this message is not for students who take the bus.
We understand that this may pose some inconvenience for some of you. However, please rest assured that as a school district, our foremost priority is the safety and security of every single one of our students.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a secure and nurturing environment for all our young learners.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Bell

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!
