Parent Notification -- Changes in Student Fees
At their meeting of June 28, 2010, the Mead School District Board of Directors approved an annual, one-time activity fee for students who participate in one or more extra-curricular activities (Elementary $20; Middle School $30; High School $40).
The purpose of this annual fee is to protect extra-curricular programs from elimination. Mead students will be required to pay this fee prior to participation in sports and/or activities.
Additionally, the 2010-2011 school year will see a reduction in the activity bus schedule. More specific information regarding the curtailment of this service will be published in August.
Please stay tuned to your school or district webpage for information updates. Thank you for your continued support of Mead activities.

ANNUAL DISTRICT and SCHOOL REPORT CARD
The Mead School District is pleased to provide our community access to our performance report cards through an OSPI website (http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us). These report cards outline academic progress in the Washington Assessment of Student Learning for our district and for our individual schools.
As you will see, Mead students continue to exceed state averages. The overall growth in our district performance happens because of excellent teaching and an atmosphere that promotes a rich learning experience.
Mead is proud of its reputation for providing quality academic programs and strong co-curricular programs for all students in every school. We appreciate your continuing support of our students and their learning.
