We have had an excellent first week of school at MVE! We really appreciate the efforts our amazing families have made to get students out the door on time and send them ready to learn! Our staff has also been working very hard this week to build their routines, learning goals, and classroom families. Together, we will continue to foster a strong school community where students establish positive relationships and take pride in their academic growth and accomplishments.
If you choose to drop your child off at school, please aim to have him/her here between 7:25-7:30. Doors unlock at 7:25am and students can go directly to their classrooms once the doors open. This allows students the time they need to hang their coats & backpacks, say hello to their teachers & classmates, get their materials ready for the day, and get started with their morning routines. Students can also grab breakfast during this time window. When the final bell rings at 7:40, teachers take attendance for the day, submit their lunch counts to food service, and begin their morning meetings. Late arrival causes students to miss important parts of their routine and can create an anxious start to their day. We appreciate your partnership in helping your child get a positive start to their day!
When unique circumstances arise such as a morning appointment or other situation causing late arrival, students can enter through door #1 and check-in at the front office for a pass to class. The front office staff will update the student’s attendance and get the student’s lunch choice reported to food service.
Please take a few minutes and complete the Annual Update that can be found on the Parent Portal on Infinite Campus.
The Annual Update can be found be selecting the three bars in the upper left corner, selecting More, and Annual Update is on the bottom of the page.
You will go through all of the information that is currently in our system. This includes parent information, emergency contacts, and student information. Many of the questions will not need updating (home language, internet use, etc) however you will need to complete each section, making any necessary updates, to reach the end.
The system will send you an email confirmation when you have completed the Annual Update.
Monday, Sept 9, 6:00-7:00 – PTP meeting in the MVES Media Center. We’ll hear an update from Principle Bican, get news on the slide project, hear about the fall fundraiser, and get a general PTP update. All are welcome, especially newbies!
Monday, Sept 9 7:00-8:00 – **New this year** P.I.E. (Parents in Education) will be laminating, cutting, sorting, hanging artwork–whatever is needed! Teachers have been invited to fill out volunteer request forms for projects that need to be done. Volunteers will work together in the Media Center to get the requests fulfilled. We’re hoping this will be a useful way to support our teachers and build-up our school community! Show-up at 7 if you’d like to help out!

Your student will be bringing home an Every Meal form, this is being sent home with every student in our school. Every Meal is a weekend food program that you are able to sign up for to receive a bag of nonperishable food at the end of the week. Our Family Support Worker Anna delivers the food to your student’s locker when there are no other kids in the classroom to keep it as discrete as possible. You can sign up by sending the form back to school with your student, or you can fill out the online form located here à https://forms.gle/mrA19H5ZtNcvuj638
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!
