We are excited to embark on another wonderful year at Meadow Ridge Elementary. A huge thank you to all the families who attended our Ice Cream Social—it was amazing to see such great attendance as we kick off the new school year together. We look forward to keeping this momentum going throughout the year. Please remember that our monthly school newsletters will be sent out on the first Friday of each month. These will keep you informed about important events, updates, and news. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

Kindergarten First Day of School

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday- Breakfast will be served at 8:45 AM

Wednesday- Breakfast will be served at 9:25 AM

When dropping your student off in the morning, please do so at the gate marked on the map as "drop off here". Students will walk around the building and play until the line up bell sounds. Students arriving after 9:00 AM, will enter through the front door. Just a reminder that our front door is locked at all times. A staff member will be out front to greet and let your student in. There is also an intercom to ask the office to buzz you in.

For the first part of the year (September 6th-16th), kindergarten students will meet in the cafeteria before school. Each class will have a table to sit at. Beginning September 17th, kindergarten students that are not eating breakfast will begin on the playground and line up outside.

The end of the day traffic can be challenging. Please help us by following some of the following guidelines.

• Stay with your car
• Pull forward or carefully drive around other vehicles
• Use the lane closest to the curb only. Do NOT signal your child to go between cars to the inside lane
• Do not use the bus loop for pick up

Please remember that all bus riders must register each year, so if you still need to register a bus rider click the link below.
