Student of the Month
This Thursday we celebrated our students of the month for demonstrating the trait of respect! Here is a picture of our honorees.
Joust - A Mighty Medieval Musical
Calling all 4th and 5th graders! Join us for this year’s exciting musical production of Joust!
Directed by Music Specialist, Erica Winters, and 4th grade teacher, Jacalyn Eisenzimmer, this musical is bound to have students on an unforgettable adventure! Join us in this legendary musical experience, where King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table come to life in ways you’ve never seen or heard before.
Auditions
Are held on Tuesday, December 3, after school until 3:45 pm. All who audition will be assigned an on stage role. Not all roles will have speaking parts.
Rehearsals
Will begin on Tuesdays/Thursdays, starting January 7, and will move to three day rehearsals in February. Rehearsals will be right after school until 3:45 pm.
Performances
Dress Rehearsal will be on Wednesday, February 19 at 3 pm, and the performance on Thursday, February 20 at 6:30 pm, both in the Meadowview Cafetorium.
More Information and Registration
Registration opens on Monday, November 4 and will close on November 22, or until the class is full. Mark your calendars, as the cast is limited to 50 students! To find more information and to register, visit https://tce.me/iT6THH.
We look forward to working with another great cast on this year’s production!
Lost and Found
Our lost and found is SO full! We will be donating items during Thanksgiving break. If you’re wondering if your child’s sweatshirt or coat is in the lost and found, this video includes pictures of most of the items we currently have in the lost and found.
Cold Weather Outdoor Play
The cold weather is quickly approaching. We believe students should have time to play outside whenever they can. Students will be outside for recess/break unless the temperature/wind chill is below zero or it is raining.
Please be prepared with cold weather gear for your students so their time outside can be enjoyable! Coats, hats, winter gloves, snow pants, and boots will be needed on a daily basis. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Health Office Looking for Donations
Nurse Jill and Nurse Tammy are looking for gently used pants for the Health Office. Leggings, sweatpants, or pants with drawstrings are the ask. Please do not send jeans or khaki type pants as these are difficult to fit a wide variety of students. We appreciate the help!
Vaccination Clinic - Wednesday Nov. 20th
Forgotten Items Cart
iPads, water bottles, instruments, lunches, and more! All things forgotten by students each day.
When bringing in a forgotten item, please place item on our *NEW* Forgotten Items Cart. The cart is positioned right outside the office door, please add a post-it and your student's name and teacher (if known). No need to come into the office! This cart will be checked throughout the day and items will be delivered in a timely manner.
Lunch Visitors
Meadowview Elementary welcomes visitors for lunch with our students. Lunch times are listed below.
A couple of reminders:
- please use Door #1 and sign in at the office
- while you may bring food in for your student, food should not be shared with other students at any time
- when students are dismissed for recess, please return to the office to sign out, visitors are not able to be on the playground or in other areas of the building (ex: hallways and classrooms)
Arriving Late or Leaving Early
When your student is arriving to school after the 7:40am late bell or leaving before the 2:10pm dismissal bell an adult must sign them in/out in the office. Please come to the office through Door #1.
When students arrive late their attendance will be updated, lunch count taken, and a pass given for their teacher. This allows the teacher to know the student has been checked in and attendance has been updated.
When students are picked up early please plan for an extra 5 minutes, it is sometimes difficult to track down a classroom in the building and the extra time allows for everyone to not be rushed. When you arrive we will call for the student, this allows the learning to continue as long as possible. Letting your student's teacher know ahead of time is helpful so they can be packed up and ready when we call.
As always, thank you for your partnership.

Important School Information
Meadowview School Hours
7:25am - first bell rings, doors unlock for students to enter the building
7:40am - last bell rings, learning begins
2:10pm - dismissal, students are walked out by classroom teachers
Online Attendance Form
Is your student ill? Do they have an appointment and will be late to school? Planning a vacation? All of these situations and more can now be reported to the Meadowivew Office through our online attendance form! Head over to the Meadowview Home Page and on the left hand side find the Student Absence Form in the Quick Links.
Attendance Tip!
Getting to school on time is just as important as being at school. Research shows that continued tardiness leads to poor attendance. Many of the most important parts of a student's day happen within the first 15 minutes. This is often when they have a time to socialize with their peers, orient themselves for the day, take care of necessary business, and connect with their teacher before the day starts. Never underestimate the power of the first 15 minutes of school!
End of Day Routine
Please make sure your child's teacher has an accurate, up-to-date plan for your child's dismissal at the end of the day.
When changes are needed, please communicate those changes with your child's teacher prior to the start of the school day. We cannot always guarantee teachers will see emails during the work day (as it depends on the activities they have planned with the students).
For EMERGENCY CHANGES, please communicate with the teacher and call the front office no later than 2pm. Changes to end of day routines are difficult for students and teachers. If at all possible please change YOUR routine instead of your students routine.
