Cell Phone and Pictures

As the year comes to a close, we are all getting very excited.  Many kids are wanting to use their cell phones to take pictures.  Unfortunately, that's contrary to our cell phone policy.

The kids were reminded today of our cell phone policy and taking pictures of one another.  Please help us to encourage students to have cell phones off and in their backpacks all day long.  This applies to the bus ride as well.  Further, we really want to protect the photos of our children from being posted on social media sites without parental permission.  We would greatly appreciate it if you would also talk to children about this as well.

Thank you so much!  I know that we can always count on you when it comes to keeping our children safe!

Introducing CM's Newest Music Teacher

After an incredibly rigorous, multi-staged, interview process involving six Country Meadows staff members, Principal Schneider, and the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Dr. Dalton, we are pleased to announce Quentin Coaxum as our music teacher!  

Hello!

My name is Quentin Coaxum, and I will be the new music teacher at Country Meadows Elementary School next year. I have received bachelors’ degrees in both music education and jazz studies from Northern Illinois University. I am a passionate musician and educator and I can’t wait to begin making music with your children.

For the past three years I have been teaching elementary general music in St. Charles District 303, while also remaining active as a musician on the Chicago music scene. Recently I became engaged, and as a result have been looking to find a teaching position in closer proximity to my fiancée’s job. Country Meadows seemed like a perfect fit for my educational experiences and skill set, and I am honored to have been selected as its newest music teacher. I am very excited to start the new school year and begin sharing the joys of music with your children.

I look forward to meeting all of you soon!

Sincerely,

Quentin Coaxum
