We strongly encourage families to take advantage of our car line drop-off in the morning. Please keep in mind that car line is only staffed until 8:30 AM. If you arrive after 8:30 AM, you must park and walk your child to the front door.
Children may not be dropped off if there is not a staff member present to receive them.
This week staff reviewed our Keeping Safe at Green Meadow presentation with students. Each class will practice what to do in the event of a lockdown or stay-in-place situation. In the next week, we will have a school-wide lockdown drill practice. You can view our student presentation by clicking the link below.
We are currently in need of snow pants, boots, and waterproof gloves in sizes 4T through 12Y. If your child has grown out of their winter gear, please consider donating it to Green Meadow. Donations can be dropped off to our Nursing Office.
Has some of your child's gear gone missing? Please stop by our Lost and Found located in the Green Meadow cafeteria. We have a lot of items that need to make their way back to their owners.
We will be partnering with an organization called Circle of Hope to donate items periodically from our lost and found when it grows out of control. One of our Green Meadow parents is the Director of Development for this organization and they are always in need of the items on this list, particularly children's clothing. Items that are labeled with a child's name will not be donated. They will be returned to the child.

The “Hour of Code” event takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. It is held annually, typically in December, in recognition of the birthday (December 9, 1906) of Computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper. This year it will take place at GMS on December 15-19th. The program was designed to celebrate coding and raise awareness. It was intended to be a quick way to show that anybody can learn the basics of coding and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. Today it’s become a global movement, participating in 180 countries and 45 languages.
