Meads Mill Mission Statement Our mission is to challenge all students to become active, compassionate, life-long global learners through a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum which promotes creativity and problem-solving during the transition from elementary to high school through a partnership of staff, families, and our community.
Attendance Reminder
If your student will be absent or tardy on any school day for any reason, please call the school attendance line (248-344-3999, ext. 2) and leave a message. Please spell your student’s name.
If your student is being picked up early during the day, send a note in with the date, time, and
reason. Have them bring the note to the office first thing in the morning. We will stamp it and return it to them. They should show the note to the teacher(s) whose class they will miss, then use the note as their pass out of class during the class period they are to be excused.
Homework Request Reminder
Parents – if you want to request homework for your student, please call the Office rather than emailing your student’s teachers. The Office will coordinate homework for students that are absent two consecutive days or more. Thank you!
