From Mrs. Barry
As we finish up our 2023-2024 school year, we are looking forward to next year. We will be celebrating Meadow Wood's 60th anniversary! Our theme for the year is "Building a Legacy for 60 years!" I am so proud to share in this journey with all of you. Though this is our last newsletter for this school year, please watch for updates over the summer, especially closer to the start of the school year. I hope you have a wonderful summer!
I would like to give you an update on a few of our staff members who will not be returning to MWE next year:
- Second grade teacher Rheana McCarley is leaving Texas and moving to Louisiana. She is not sure if she will be teaching or not, but she is excited to be in the same city as her long-term boyfriend - something that hasn't happened in a couple of years now!
- Third grade teacher Angela Martinez will be staying home with her new baby. Camila was born in early May, and Ms. Martinez is excited about the opportunity to watch her grow!
- Fifth grade teacher Jennifer Cooper is transitioning out of education. She will be working in the private sector and is excited about pursuing a new field.
- Fifth grade teacher Elizabeth Robinson will be staying home and focusing on her family. We will still see a lot of her, as she has promised to spend a lot of time volunteering at MWE!
- AIM teacher Cassandra Barrera will also be moving to the corporate arena. She, too is excited about a new career, though already admits to missing her Eagles!
- Medically Fragile Nurse Emma Carriger will be leaving us at the end of summer. Nurse Emma will be returning to her roots in the operating room, which is what she did in Midland prior to coming to us.
Due to budget and staff cuts, we are losing the following staff:
- Counselors Lynne Luberger and Pat Waldrop will be leaving SBISD. Both will continue to do their favorite job of grandma, and they would love to continue counseling in part-time roles in some capacity.
- Part-time ESL Interventionist Sylvia Holub and ESL paraprofessional Lonita Tabbodi will also be leaving SBISD. We will most likely still see Ms. H volunteering at her grandson's school, while Dr. T hopes to start her own business.
- Two of our district specialists will remain in SBISD but on other campuses Math Instructional Specialist Anna Wheeler will be at Valley Oaks Elementary and Technology Literacy Specialist Candice Nichols will be going Spring Oaks Middle School.
- Our intermediate Literacy Instructional Specialist Linda Kleb-Ashbaugh is retiring. Linda is excited about being able to spend more time with her husband and her mom.
We wish everyone all the best in their upcoming endeavors, and as we always say - once an Eagle, always an Eagle. Closer to the start of the school year, I will update you on our new staff members as well as any additional changes that might have occurred.
Medication Pick Up
If your child has medication in the clinic, it will need to be picked up by the last day of school, May 30, 2024. All medications that are left in the clinic after Thursday, May 30th, will be discarded per district protocol. Medications must be picked up by a parent or guardian.
Please call if you have any questions.
