Meade School District 46-1 invites the public to attend any one of the upcoming presentations as we continue exploring the possibility of a 4-day school week.


The presentations will include:

  • An overview of the work completed to date

  • Known results from the parent/community surveys

  • A sample 4-day school week schedule

  • Answers to questions available at that time


We encourage families, staff, and community members to attend, learn more, and share their thoughts.

Safety

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.
