The Meade School District is now accepting nominations for the 2026–27 Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year.
We encourage staff, parents, students, and community members to take this opportunity to recognize those who go above and beyond in service to the district.
All completed nomination forms must be submitted to the nominee’s building principal/district committee member no later than Friday, February 6, 2026.
Consider this your gentle civic heads-up: petitions for school board vacancies for the 2026–27 school year may begin circulating on February 2, 2026, for the June 2, 2026 election.
Available Vacancies
Two (2) four-year terms
One (1) two-year term
The terms of Board members Megan Snyder, Brian Voight, and Thomas Schneller are expiring. As approved by the Board in December, the two seats previously designated as three-year terms will now be elected as four-year terms—because apparently three years wasn’t enough time to master parliamentary procedure.
Candidates must reside within the Meade School District 46-1 boundaries. The election will be held with the regular June primary election.
If you know someone who likes supporting schools, serving the community, and attending meetings that may or may not include snacks, please encourage them to check out the election information on the [http://Thank you for your continued service to students—and for reading this far.]district website.
Want to earn a snack, ice cream, or juice?
Mrs. Alicia is looking for responsible SWMS students to help clean tables after your lunch period. If you’re interested in volunteering, please check out the sign-up book located at the back of the cafeteria.
If you have any questions just ask!
Safety
Absolutely no medication on your person, over the counter or otherwise. All medication must be given through the nurse's office.
Backpacks are to be left in your lockers. Our classrooms are very small and backpacks clutter the aisle. It is a safety thing. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
