Meadowbrook Families,

I would like to extend a warm welcome to all families and students attending Meadowbrook Elementary this year. I am excited to be a part of the greatness this school extends to parents, students, staff, and the community. I am originally from Wall, SD and have raised two children in the Rapid City area. I have worked for the RCAS for several years as both a teacher and principal, most recently at Knollwood Elementary. I believe it takes strong cooperation between school, families and the community to educate the whole child.

Communication is important between school and home. To assist with this process, Meadowbrook Elementary will be using an app called Class Dojo to communicate with you. We can instantly share messages, updates and photos. It’s the easiest way for you to see how your child is doing at school, get important updates, and to get in touch with your child’s teacher. We encourage all families to join Meadowbrook and sign up for Class Dojo!

Due to continued efforts to keep staff and students safe, we ask that you use the front doors and check in at the office when visiting our school. Students can be dropped off at 7:50 when there is adult supervision on the playground. We ask that you wish your child well and say good-bye as they enter the building. We always welcome parents at Meadowbrook but need for you to follow our visitor protocols for the safety of staff and students.

I look forward to working in partnership with Meadowbrook families to meet the needs of our Meadowbrook Eagles!!
