Remember Your Student ID Card at Lunch!
Students – remember that you must have your ID card if you are using your account to purchase something in the cafeteria at lunch!! Parking Lot Guidelines Reminder!! Please honor our parking lot guidelines regarding dismissal. No cars should enter the circle lot unless the student is somehow physically compromised. Parents lining up along the "Drop Off" lane are blocking the drivers who do need to pick up students on walkers, crutches, in wheel chairs, or wearing boots. Parents are also asked not to park in parking places on the circle. We have kids walking between parked high profile vehicles and into the path of cars trying to exit the lot. The cars are taller than the students. Please meet your student in the upper lot in assigned parking or along the parking places beside the softball fields. We are concerned about the safety of all of our students. When everyone complies with the guidelines, we are all much safer. Please also advise any first-time siblings or others picking up your student.

Happy New Year Parents – The MM PBIS Team Needs Your Support!!
The Meads Mill PBIS Team is looking for more parent support to help plan our quarterly celebrations this year! At the end of every academic quarter ALL students have the opportunity to attend our celebrations, if they choose. Celebrations in the past have included a “drive-in movie”, holiday dance with DJ, open gym, rotation of activities in classrooms, and our block party (on the last day of school). This year students will be required to “buyin” to the celebrations using Patriot Pride tickets that they earn during the school day for meeting our PBIS expectations. We are very excited to have the opportunity to celebrate our students, and the great things they are doing every day!
If you are interested in helping plan our celebrations, be it in a big or small way, please contact Ms. Debien (
[email protected]). If you aren’t able to help plan celebrations, but would like to be a parent helper the day of the celebration, there will be another listserv for you to sign-up, coming soon!
