There will be 10 minutes added to the beginning of the school day at the elementary schools. Bus pickup and drop off times will not change. The instructional minutes will be added to the beginning of the school day due to existing transportation schedules. Additionally, the District is eliminating the grade K-4 early release May 18.

********************************************************************** Thank You-
On April 3, 2018, the communities of Howard and Suamico approved the operational referendum, placed on the ballot by the Board of Education, by a 58.6% to 41.4% margin. Thank you to residents who attended listening sessions, asked questions, and voted. Your engagement demonstrates our communities’ interest and dedication to our students, staff and schools. The results represent a vote of confidence in the vision for the school district and will allow us to address critical needs, including reducing class size, enhancing teacher compensation, and maintaining facilities. We will continue to give regular updates on the referendum. If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your school board member. PBIS Corner "The Bulldog Way"It was another busy week at Meadowbrook for office prizes. The kids turned in their paws in Mrs. Schneeberger’s class to earn some really cool prizes such as a glow in the dark figit spinner, a Meadowbrook waterbottle, squishy’s, a DQ coupon and a football.
Mrs. Kuffel’s Kindergarten class choose some really neat office prizes with their paws as well. They choose Shopkins Journal set, Flying Twirlers, and a Spongebob plug in light. Keep working hard to earn those PAWS by being kind, being a good friend, and just working hard in class Staff SpotlightSo which staff member enjoys Butterfingers as treats and long walks with her lab mix? It's Mrs. Barrett!
Mystery for this week: Which of our teachers has a son that attends Meadowbrook, loves to walk and cherishes the relationships that she has built over the years with her students? The answer will be revealed in next week's newsletter! ********************************************************************** |
