Great public education begins with a great community like Mead, which has made its schools a point of pride for a century. Today we are 14 schools serving 9,500 students just north of Spokane, and we still take great satisfaction in our amazing staff, in our high achieving students, and in our schools' frequent rankings among the state's best.

New Communication System

The Mead School District is pleased to announce the launch of our new alert and notification system. With this new communication tool schools can send periodic and personalized voice messages to parents within minutes. The system will be used to compliment our emergency preparedness procedures and to inform parents of upcoming school events such as:

Parent/Teacher Conferences
School Closure Information
Bus Route Changes
Early Release Days
State Testing

We will begin using this new system for automated absence calling on Monday, May 7, 2012.
