Greetings, Explorer Team! Welcome to the new school year.
Welcome to Meriwether Elementary School! Our collectively shared vision is: "...to create a safe and inclusive environment where staff collaborate and communicate shared high expectations so students can become lifelong learners and engaged, global citizens." We are a Kids at Hope school.
Here, we know that children are capable of succeeding without exception. Our children can be readers, writers and thinkers. They can be scientists, mathematicians, engineers, musicians, artists and athletes. Students can explore their interests, talents, and their passion. Most importantly, we want our students to enjoy learning!
At Meriwether, we eagerly anticipate collaborating with parents, guardians and community members on behalf of our most precious resources, our children. Our district's motto is, "We are better together." When we work together, we reach our goal to educate the whole child. When we work together, we ensure that our children succeed...creating lifelong learners. When we work together, we create infinite possibilities for each other and for our children!

Pastries with the Principal:
Speaking of your voices, I have created a platform for you to bring your voices to the table. On the last Tuesday of each month, from 3:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m., please join me in our cafeteria for Pastries with the Principal. This is an opportunity to have conversations about our strengths, room for improvement and more. Feel free to bring your children with you.
Substitutes Wanted:
A skilled substitute offers a significant, positive impact on the quality of education in the absence of the permanent employee. Our district is committed to providing information and professional development opportunities necessary to fulfill your responsibilities.
We encourage you to seek out and participate in the opportunities available to you. We are excited about your potential here and what you can contribute to our organization. We hope that you will find considerable reward and satisfaction in your work in our schools and that you will be in such demand that you will be scheduling your substitute assignments weeks in advance.
