5th Grade Families,

Welcome to Middle School! In the coming weeks, there will be many opportunities for you and your child to learn more about the middle school experience. Depending on your child’s middle school assignment, please plan to attend one of the following 5th Grade Family Engagement nights:

• Boeckman Middle School - Monday, May 12 at 5:30 PM

• Dodge Middle School - Thursday, May 1 at 5:30 PM

On this evening, staff will discuss the transition to 6th grade and families will have an opportunity to see the building. Administrators and counselors will be available for questions as well. Please do not hesitate to be in contact if we can support the transition to middle school in any way.

We look forward to beginning our partnership for the next several years!

Andy Nelson, Dodge Middle School Principal

Joe Sage, Boeckman Middle School Principal

Skip the stores and save both time and money on back-to-school shopping with a Sprout School Supply Kit. These kits are teacher-approved, matching our Meadowview supply lists and will be delivered to school and ready for the first day. Again, this school year, we’re offering families the opportunity to Pay It Forward and purchase an additional school supply kit to donate to a deserving child at our school if they are interested. All Pay It Forward Kits will be provided to the administration at the close of our sale and distributed to local students, so they are all set for the first day.

Order now at sproutsupplies.com using School Code MES005 Order deadline is 06/17/25!

Purchasing this kit is optional and is offered by Meadowview as service to our families - online ordering only!

Students below were honored at our monthly ceremony last week. These students were nominated by staff members for showing the Trustworthiness trait around our school through the day. Good work students, we are so proud of you!

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)

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
