Parking at Green Meadow
We understand that the snow banks have made afternoon pickup parking even more of a challenge. However, please keep in mind that there is absolutely no parking along Tiger Drive or in the Staff Parking Lot. Vehicles parked in these areas are blocking buses and special education vans.
Additionally, cars are being parked and left in non-designated spaces in both the Staff and Crowe parking lots.
Overflow parking is available at Fowler School. Please plan accordingly when arriving for pickup.
Beginning next week, the Maynard Police will be onsite to help enforce these parking restrictions.
Kindly follow the posted guidelines to ensure the safety and smooth dismissal of all students. Thank you for your cooperation.
March Madness Continues!
Picture Book Tournament
Students have been busy reading our tournament books in Library and in their classrooms. We have our first picture book to move on in the tournament. On Monday, we will reveal the next winner once all of the voting is complete.
Staff Book Club
Our staff is also busy reading their own books during the month of March. When you are visiting Green Meadow, check out our staff Book Club board near the main office. New recommendations are being added daily!
