Dear Country Meadows Families,
Summer has turned to Fall and students are still hard at work as we have passed the halfway point of Trimester 1.
This week marked an exciting milestone as our fifth-grade leaders met to embark on their leadership journey. The enthusiasm in the room was palpable as they delved into the various opportunities to make a positive impact and lead our school.
We're all looking forward to witnessing their growth and the incredible contributions they'll bring to our CM community. Stay tuned for more updates and adventures as we continue to nurture leadership and growth throughout the year.
Please see the upcoming dates in October for upcoming Halloween and PTO event information.
Have a great weekend,
Aska Lempke

In compliance with the Safety Drill Act, parents have the right to exempt their child from the Law Enforcement Drill.
If you do not wish your child to participate in the Law Enforcement Safety Drill, please contact Aska Lempke at [email protected]. The administration will arrange for an alternative review of safety procedures with your child.
If we do not hear from you, we will assume your child has permission to participate in the drill.
REPEAT *Picture Retake*
Picture retake is happening at Country Meadows on Wednesday, October 18. Students requesting a retake should bring their original picture package to the photographer. The picture package will be reprinted with the retake image. If a student prepaid for the original shoot, but was absent, the order is still pending and will be applied to the image taken on Retake Day.
