We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to all of our wonderful families and the PTO for their support during teacher conferences. Your generosity in providing meals for our teachers is greatly appreciated.

We are also thrilled to share that 94% of our families participated in conferences, and we cannot thank you enough for your involvement! Your engagement is key to your child's success, and we are so grateful for your partnership in their education.

Together, we are making great strides in ensuring every student has the best opportunities to succeed. Thank you again for all that you do to support our school community!

We understand that some of our families have received an email from Ps-sis-incident@mail1.csid.com about the PowerSchool data breach and credit monitoring. This email is legitimate.

In late December, PowerSchool experienced a data breach that involved some of HSSD's data. HSSD sent a communication to all families and staff on January 8, 2025 about the incident. The information in that email remains accurate. We can confirm that HSSD does NOT collect Social Security Numbers, so your child’s Social Security Number was not disclosed.

PowerSchool is sending all of their users the complimentary two-year identity protection service offer to those whose information was involved. We see this as a customer service response. That said, if you feel strongly that you’d like to pursue this opportunity, you may follow the steps in the email you received from PowerSchool.

Please know that we take this matter seriously, and we encourage you to reach out to our Technology department if you have any questions.

Meadowbrook School donated $10,492.79 to the American Heart Association from our annual Kids Heart Challenge! Way to go bulldogs! Thank you for the generosity of family and friends of Meadowbrook. Students can expect to get their “Thank you” gifts around spring break. Mrs. Brunette And Mr. Lindsay

River C. - River is always proactive as she is leading by example in our classroom. She is constantly a role model by following directions and always giving her best work. She is always kind and respectful to those around her. You are a wonderful addition to Meadowbrook! Keep up the great work! Mrs. Apps

Everett R. - Everett shows the habit “Begin with the End in Mind” when he’s the last one at dismissal. He’ll take things out, but then he knows when to start cleaning up and will help pick up others’ things. He will take over the Dismisser’s job if they have to leave. Great job helping our class and thinking of the end when you start! -Mrs. Hockers

Jameson T. - Jameson is a very quiet, soft spoken student. However, he has a big heart.he is always so kind and willing to work with any other students. He is always smiling and following the bulldog way. He also has grit. Jameson has worked very hard on improving his reading skills and has made a lot of improvements. We are so lucky to have Jameson in our class. Thank you, MRS. SCHNEEBERGER

Bennett B. & Max R. - Bennett and Max think win-win with our new iPads and charger. They share the same slot in the charger block, so they keep track of who needs to charge their ipad for the night. They are great communicators and let each other know who can use it. Both have their ipads fully charged and ready for the day. Wonderful work guys! -Mrs. Hockers

Caleb V. - Caleb is always proactive in his learning and works hard to put first things first each day. He always makes sure he is ready to go for lessons & work time, stays on task and gets his work done. He respectfully reminds others to do the same. I love getting to see Caleb grow and thrive as a self-starter, collaborator, responsible leader and friend! He cares about his learning and the learning of his friends. Way to go, Caleb! Keep up the magical work! ♡ Miss Macedo

Kolton M. - Kolton is a role model with Habit 3, Put First Things First. Kolton always makes sure his work is finished and checked over before moving onto the next thing. He does a great job following our classroom routines without reminders and he takes care of "big rocks" first, before worrying about getting little things done. Keep up the great work, Kolton! I am proud of you! Mrs. Davidson
