Note from Principal Keffeler Hello Meadow Ridge Families,
It is the season of black snow pants! Please take the time to label your child's winter gear, as we have already had some mix ups. It's easy for us to get lost gear back to students when there is a last name on the item. We have a lot of items in our lost and found, so be sure to check the photos in this email.
Snow is already being predicted for Monday. Sometimes buses can be delayed due to poor weather. You can track your child's bus using the transportation portal. All school delays will be announced to parents through the numbers in Skyward Family Access. Make sure your numbers are up to date in Skyward Family Access.
Thank you to our generous PTO for funding the fifth grade Youth Frontiers Kindness Retreat that was on Wednesday, and the Ninja Gym scheduled for December 20! Sign up to volunteer. We truly appreciate our community's support of our school.
Best, Karen
