A Note from Principal Keffeler Hello Meadow Ridge Families, We need your help to continue our planning for semester 2, which starts on February 1, 2021. Our hope is to get students back into our schools as soon as we can when the situation with the virus improves. Please fill out the Second Semester Learning Model Change Request Form only if you want to switch your child's learning model selection. If you want to retain your learning model selection from the beginning of the year, no further action is required. Don't complete the form if: - You are a Distance Choice family who wants to remain in Distance Choice
- If you are a Hybrid family who is looking forward to returning to in person learning when it is safe to do so.
Do complete the form if: - You are a Distance Choice family who would like their children to return to in person learning when it is safe to do so.
- You are a Hybrid family who has decided that 100% online is the way to go for the remainder of the year.
Please read the PTO section below for ways to help make this holiday season a little brighter for others. Best, Karen Gift Card Collection The PTO is partnering with our school social worker to help out some of our families in need this winter.

There is a bin for dropping off donations in the vestibule at the main entrance to the school. If would like to arrange another drop off method, please email wayzatamrpto@gmail.com Help Needed The PTO is in search of an accountant to file our taxes this year. If you are interested, please contact us at wayzatamrpto@gmail.com.
