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.

 | No Cell Phones or other electronics at school Because cell phones are disruptive to learning in our classrooms, students may not use cell phones at school. Cell phones that are turned off, may be stored in a student's backpack for use after school. This includes: iPods, MP3 players, and handheld games such as Gameboy and DS. Electronics will be confiscated and parents will be called to pick them up in the office. |

 | For the safety of our students and your pets, please do not bring your pets onto school property. If you bring the family dog with you to pick up your son or daughter, please keep your pet in the car. For student safety, it is important that we follow this new guideline. We love pets as well, but we cannot risk student safety at any time. Thanks for your understanding and support. |

of "highly qualified." This means they have completed the schooling
