Good Afternoon Meadowside Families,
It was great to hear about all the family traditions and activities that our students engaged in last weekend -- from cook-offs to game times -- it was clear our students had a lot of fun family time!
Just a couple of updates and reminders this afternoon:
COVID Vaccine upload - Parents may voluntarily provide a copy of their child’s COVID immunization card now by uploading it using our secure form here. This information will only be accessible by school nurses and school administration solely for the purpose of contact tracing and quarantining.
District Communications
If you haven’t already, please take a moment to review the district’s COVID-19 Prevention Strategies Letter.
And a reminder as we move into the winter season. Please review the MPS Snow days Communication
Attached please find the December Community Tech Tip focusing on Home Internet Safety and Safeguards.
Martin Luther King Essay Contest - MPS invites all students to participate in Senator Chris Murphy’s annual essay contest. More information is here. Any questions, please contact Kay Munoz at MLK_Essay@murphy.senate.gov.
PTA is happy to share this week:
Our December PTA meeting is Tuesday 12/14 at 6:15 in the Multipurpose room. Due to current Covid19 Protocols, it is still adults only at our PTA meetings -- masks on and socially distant.
December Family Activities Calendar - We invite you to participate in our family activities this month. The calendar will be updated each Friday with new activities for the next seven days. Activities include virtual read alouds by mystery readers, pre-recorded read alouds done by school staff, crafts, and more
Five and Below Flyer - Give your kiddo an opportunity to shop for gifts to give to loved ones, do a little of your own holiday shopping, and help PTA. Go to the Milford Five and Below from 12/4-12/11, show them the flyer, and 10% of sales will be donated to our PTA. Please share this with friends and family.
Amazon Wishlist Link - Help us support classrooms by donating a craft from our wishlist. Our goal is to provide every classroom with a winter craft. Please ship donations directly to PTA (if you have already shipped to your home you can send the donation to the main office at school). More information can be found on our flyer.
