Note from Principal Keffeler Hello Meadow Ridge Families,
It was wonderful to see so many of you last evening at the open house! I hope you left the building feeling excited about the year to come. We will work hard to make sure your child(ren) feel safe, included, and successful.
A few reminders as we begin the year: Know the flow. See the diagram below for drop off procedures in the morning. In short, have your child ready to exit curbside the first time you stop along the sidewalk. Drivers should stay in their vehicles. If you want to walk your child to the front entrance, park in a spot and cross at the crosswalk.
We are inspired Best,
P.S. We have some new teachers in grades 3 and 4 who are looking to build their classroom libraries. If you have gently used books you would like to donate, please bring them to the office at your convenience. Thank you!
Did You Know? Know the Flow! Please follow the guidelines above when dropping off or picking up at our school to ensure fluidity during these times.
The Meadow Ridge Student Handbook is a great way to learn about our school and expectations. Please review before the start of school.
