This week has marked a historic moment for Meadow Wood - our enrollment has reached 675 students! I was looking back at some of my previous records from when I first started at MWE, and our enrollment at that time was 474. We've come a long way in a what doesn't feel like a long time! As we continue to add students to our rosters every day, I want to give a huge shout our to our amazing teachers and staff members. Despite the challenges we are facing this year with budget cuts and reduced supports, with records number of children walking through our doors and continually changing TEKS, regulations, and curriculum, these amazing folks come to work every day with a smile on their faces and joy in their hearts, knocking it out of the park for our Eagles. We couldn't have a better group of people working with our kiddos, and I am so proud to work with each and every one! Wishing them - and all of you - a lack of labor on this Labor Day holiday! As always, thank you for your support as we continue building our legacy! #60years

At dismissal, MWE utilizes a two-line system for car rider dismissal. Students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, First grade, or Second grade are picked up in the inside line (closest to the school) and Third grade and above are picked up in the outside line. If you have multiple children at Meadow Wood, please use the line appropriate for your youngest child. Please do not switch lines - this actually slows down your progress and our system!

If your child is unable to buckle themselves into their car seat, we ask that you park and have your child be a walker. Our patrols are unable to perform this duty for you, and if you exit your car to do this, it backs up the carpool line tremendously.

All cars picking up through the car rider line are required to have their hangtag displayed. Hangtags can be obtained through the front office. Green, blue, or salmon cards are for walkers only and will not be accepted for car riders. Note: Beginning September 3rd, if you do not have a hang tag, you will be asked to park and come inside to pick up your child. You will need to show your ID.

Reminder: Every week we have T-2-4 Tuesday - students are encouraged to wear their favorite college or military shirt. Fridays are MWE Spirit Day! Wear your Eagle attire!
