Note from Principal Keffeler Hello Meadow Ridge Families,
We are finishing up our MCA testing this week. It's a big step, and we are so proud of our students for taking these tests with care.
In the Spring, our thoughts turn to planning for the fall. Soon the teachers will be making up the classroom placements for next year. They look at many factors when placing students, and this year they will be placing at 2 buildings. For students going to North Woods, we'll make sure that they all have familiar faces around them in order to feel as comfortable as possible in their new school. If you have information you would like us to consider, please be sure to fill our the input form that was sent in an email earlier this week.
The Carnival is next Friday! It's a super fun night for families, made possible through your generosity. The office is currently taking donations for the treat walk (sweet and salty items) and the adopt a pet room (stuffed animals). Please consider making a donation of either items or your time to make for a successful evening.
Here's hoping the rain stays rain!
Best,
Karen
