Therefore, students will be dismissed on March 18th, March 19th, and March 20th at 1:15pm.
Fire Drill: Next week we will be conducting a fire drill. Conducting emergency drills (fire, crisis, lockdown, etc.) is one of the most important ways we enhance our preparedness for students and staff during an emergency. Drills allow us to practice what we need to do when an emergency arises in our school. Thank you for your support.
Career Day is coming up in April! We are thrilled to be hosting our 4th annual career day on Wednesday, April 30th. Meadowside School will be welcoming community members into our building to share about their careers, education and professional passions. Students will have the opportunity to view presentations alongside their grade level peers. We are hoping each grade will have 3-4 presentations that are about 15 min each. Presentation Ideas:
A brief overview of your career and a day in the life
Schooling, trainings or experiences required
Traits or skills to be successful in your career field
Tools, technology or resources used on the job
Your favorite part of the job
Challenges of the job and how you overcome them
