Mead Middle School Weekly Update:
Open Enrollment for 2016-2017 school year
Mead Middle School will be accepting open enrollment applications for the 2016-2017 school year for all grade levels. The window for new students wishing to open enroll opens on December 1st. For information and specifics please visit the St. Vrain Valley School District Enrollment link:http://svvsd.org/files/policy/JFBA_JFBB_R.pdf
A few things to note about open enrollment:
-
If your child is going from 6th to 7th or 7th to 8th, you DO NOT have to fill out another form. Your child is automatically accepted.
-
Siblings of students who have been granted open enrollment status will be approved for open enrollment, as long as the sibling will have concurrent enrollment at Mead Middle for the 2016-2017 school year.
-
Just because your student was accepted for open enrollment at the middle school does NOT mean they will automatically be accepted by Mead High School. You will need to repeat the open enrollment process at Mead High if you wish for your child to attend there as a 9th grader.
Little Thompson Water:
We wanted to inform you that the Mead Schools (elementary and middle school) in the St. Vrain Valley School District, along with residents of the Mead area, received notification that elevated levels of lead were found in the drinking water of a small number of homes in the Little Thompson Water District.
Even though elevated levels were not reported at Mead Elementary or Mead Middle facilities, the school district swiftly installed water filters on drinking fountains and sinks throughout both buildings. We also implemented other precautionary recommendations from the Water District, including flushing the water lines. Student safety and wellness is our top priority and our operations and maintenance teams take great pride in their work to ensure that our facilities protect our students and provide an optimal learning environment.
The Little Thompson Water District will be retesting the water in area homes in December to insure the water remains at the expected quality levels. Should you have additional questions you can contact Little Thompson Water District at 970-532-2096. You may also want to consult their web page at www.LTWD.org.
6th Grade Dance:
A 6th grade dance will be held on November 19 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free and snacks and beverages will be provided. Please have your student fees paid up and overdue library books returned before the time of the dance. This dance is only for 6th graders.
8th Graders:

Cold Weather Reminders:
As the daylight gets shorter and cold weather approaches, it is a good time to remind everybody about a few items that often come up in the colder months.
-All students not participating in a school activity or working directly with an adult need to be out of the building by 3:00.
-If your student is at an afterschool activity, please pick them up promptly as we do not want students waiting in the dark.
– We love our students to attend games and dances. If your student attends these functions, the expectation is that they are sitting in the stands or in the dance area. Students are not allowed to go outside or roam the building. If students do go outside, they will be asked either to return to the correct area, or go home. We simply do not have the manpower to supervise students in those other areas.
-Please make sure your students are dressed appropriately for the weather. If we were to have an emergency evacuation, students may have to leave the building without getting their coats. This could require your child to be in the cold for an extended period of time. There is a big difference between waiting in the cold in a long sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes, than a tee shirt, shorts and sandals.
