4th and 5th Grade Parents

Please take the time to review this link to learn about Extended Math for 4th and 5th graders.  A description of the program as well as qualifying criteria is included.  

MAP Testing Starts Next Week

Your child's classroom teacher can share specifics about when your child's classroom is assessing.  

Please help your child to do his/her best by getting a great night's rest and eating a healthy breakfast.  

Results will be sent home via backpack mail as soon as all students have been assessed and the score reports are available.

Does Your Child Have Medical Needs?

The nurse is looking to communicate with you about your child’s medical needs.  Please make sure that she has all authorizations as well as Food Allergy Action Forms.  

Parking Lot

Please, we are pleading, only park in parking spots in our lot.  Parking alongside our sidewalk will cause a problem in the event there is an emergency situation.  Further, parking alongside the curb causes a great deal of frustration for the parents and staff at Parent Pick-Up and Drop-off. 

In the event that a staff member asks you to move your car, please respect the messenger. 

Also, when you are dropping off students in the morning or picking them up in the afternoon, always have the children use the curbside door of your car.  We would hate for any accidents to happen!  

Student Tardiness

Timeliness is extremely important to your child's education.  Please understand that being tardy significantly impacts our building routines for attendance, lunch-counts, etc.  Most importantly, being tardy impacts student learning.  A child coming in late must catch up to the happenings in the classroom, also causing a disruption for other students.  At Country Meadows, learning begins immediately at 8:25.  Please help create respectful habits for your children by establishing morning routines that assure a timely arrival.  Students should be in our building by 8:20 when the first bell rings to signal our time to unpack, get settled, and handle communication from home.  Our tardy bell rings at 8:25.  Thank you for your support.

Dear Families of Country Meadows –

This week has flown by!  Thank you for all of your support and organization in helping us have a positive and productive start of the school year.  We see lots of smiling faces at CM and hope that the students are sharing fun stories with you. 

Added to the blog this week (see below), you’ll find information about our “Expected Behaviors” which we would love for you to ask you child about.  They spent time practicing with their Cub Community.  Also, help your child’s class win a contest by sending back a signed bus agreement.  Your student will tell you all about it.  You will also read all about after-school notes for changes in the typical routine and our policy.  Click here to be linked to the Principal’s Message.

The PTO would like to remind you to sign-up for Dessert Day & Special Lunch!  Forms can be found online here.  The Weekly PTO Newsletter can be found here. 

As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask!

My best –

Katie Schneider
