Meaux Elementary

Dear Parents and Guardians,

At Meaux Elementary we believe that when everyone is working toward the same goals, we create the strongest possible learning environment for our students. That's why we set school-wide goals each year.

These goals are important because they:

• Provide focus and direction - They help teachers, students, and families know what we are all working toward together.
• Build consistency - When expectations are the same across classrooms, students understand what success looks like no matter where they are in the school.
• Encourage Teamwork - By sharing common goals, teachers, staff, parents, and students can support one another to achieve the best outcomes.
• Measure progress - Goals give us a way to track growth and celebrate the progress our students make throughout the year.
• 
  

We invite you to join us in supporting these goals at home as well. By working together - school, students, and families - we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow and succeed.

Thank you for being a vital part of our school community.

Dawn Amy, Principal

Last year Meaux Elementary had an overall 95% attendance rate for the year! We are continuing this goal again this year and leveling up our percentage to 97%! Our students are encouraged to be in attendance every minute of every day. Like last year, students can earn incentives based on their attendance. At the start of the year, students were given their first attendance brag tag. Students put these on their backpacks for safe keeping. At the end of each month, students who have not missed school during the month will be awarded that month's tag to add to their collection. If the student's class has 97% attendance for the month, the class will receive a reward. Let's work together to attain this goal.

Once again this year Mrs. Etie', Vermilion Parish Supervisor of Curriculum, is challenging all students to become Million Word Readers! In addition to the incentives outlined on the flyer, our school librarian, Mrs. Laura Chapman has some exciting things for our students as they reach reading milestones on their way to a million words. When we reach the deadline, students who make the goal will be treated to a limo or trolley ride and lunch with the principal and librarian. Last year Meaux Elementary had a total of 4 Million Word Readers. The challenge is on!
