The 2025 Operating Levy would provide about $1,236 per student — approximately $8 million per year — to maintain the teachers, programs, and learning opportunities that make Farmington Area Public Schools strong. This is not about adding new programs or facilities; it’s about sustaining what’s already in place. So what will the levy funds support if approved?

• Maintaining class sizes so teachers can give students the support they need

• Strengthening literacy and math instruction

• Enhancing middle and high school career pathway options that prepare students for their future

• Strengthening elementary enrichment opportunities to keep students connected and engaged

🎥 Watch: How will the levy funds be used?

This week in our Strong Students. Strong Community. video series, see how ISD 192 plans to allocate levy revenue, prioritizing staffing, student support, curriculum, and core programs.

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outdoor activities and recess every day. We believe that students should have time to play outside whenever they can. Our policy is that students will go outside to play at recess unless the temperature or wind-chill is below zero. Please send your child dressed for the weather each day - even if you think it may be an “inside recess” day. The weather can change rapidly so we want to make sure students are prepared at all times.

Thank You, Tiger Trot Participants and Families!

A huge thank you to all of our incredible runners who gave their best effort during the Tiger Trot—you did an amazing job out on the course! Your determination and spirit truly made the event special.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the families who came out to support their kids. Your encouragement and enthusiasm mean so much and help make Meadowview a stronger, more connected community.

Thank you for making the Tiger Trot a success!

Mr. McCarthy

Is your student ill? Do they have an appointment and will be late to school? Planning a vacation? All of these situations and more can be reported to the Meadowivew Office through our online attendance form! Head over to the Meadowview Home Page and on the left hand side find the Student Absence Form in the Quick Links.

7:25am - first bell rings, doors unlock for students to enter the building

7:40am - last bell rings, learning begins

2:10pm - dismissal, students are walked out by classroom teachers

Getting to school on time is just as important as being at school. Research shows that continued tardiness leads to poor attendance. Many of the most important parts of a student's day happen within the first 15 minutes. This is often when they have a time to socialize with their peers, orient themselves for the day, take care of necessary business, and connect with their teacher before the day starts. Never underestimate the power of the first 15 minutes of school!

Please make sure your child's teacher has an accurate, up-to-date plan for your child's dismissal at the end of the day.

When changes are needed, please communicate those changes with your child's teacher prior to the start of the school day. We cannot always guarantee teachers will see emails during the work day (as it depends on the activities they have planned with the students).

For EMERGENCY CHANGES, please communicate with the teacher and call the front office no later than 2pm. Changes to end of day routines are difficult for students and teachers. If at all possible please change YOUR routine instead of your students routine.

When your student is arriving to school after the 7:40am late bell or leaving before the 2:10pm dismissal bell an adult must sign them in/out in the office. Please come to the office through Door #1.

When students arrive late their attendance will be updated, lunch count taken, and a pass given for their teacher. This allows the teacher to know the student has been checked in and attendance has been updated.

When students are picked up early please plan for an extra 5 minutes, it is sometimes difficult to track down a classroom in the building and the extra time allows for everyone to not be rushed. When you arrive we will call for the student, this allows the learning to continue as long as possible. Letting your student's teacher know ahead of time is helpful so they can be packed up and ready when we call.

As always, thank you for your partnership.
