End of School
A Note From Principal Chantal Ligtenberg
23-24 school year coming to a close!
As the school year is coming to a close, I want to express our appreciation to all the parents/guardians that have shared their children with us this year. Just a reminder that we will have a two hour early dismissal on the last day of school which is on Tuesday, May 21st. We hope you have a fantastic summer and we will see you at our Open House August 22nd from 2-4 p.m.
Lost and Found:
All lost and found items left over at the end of the school year will be donated. We will be packing up the items on May 21st.
24-25 incoming Kindergarten students: You will be receiving a letter from your kindergarten teacher this summer. It will have detailed information on the start of the school year.
2024-25 School Year
The open enrollment and in-district transfer requests for the 2024-25 school year will be opening February 1 - March 31 and again April 15 - Summer 2024. All new students entering the Meade School District must have the following:
- copy of birth certificate
- immunization records
Open enrollment for the remainder of the 2023-24 school year is currently open.
As we conclude the 2023-24 school year, we would like to bring to your attention that the district currently has $20,000.00 in unpaid student lunch balances. Please log in to your account and make any deposits, if necessary.
We also encourage you to take advantage of the Free and Reduced Meals Application—rest assured, all information provided is confidential.

School Activities and Fun
4th grade students were asked to write an essay on "What they would miss most about Sturgis Elementary". It was a VERY hard decision and we LOVED all of them!
