Hey Mustangs! Join your fellow Mustangs at the March Meals for Meadows FUN-raiser! We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, March 12th at Pizza Rev on Sepulveda anytime from 11am until 10pm.

Our next PTA General Meeting will be on Tuesday, March 18th at 8:15am in the Meadows cafeteria.  Dr. Matthews will be joining us to discuss the Local Control Funding Formula and the process used to create our spending plan.  He will also be available to answer questions. This is definitely a meeting that you won't want to miss!  See you there, Mustangs! 

Help us keep all our students safe. We need your support for pick up and drop off.  Please use the front Meadows drop off or the back Rowell drop off and follow posted signs.  Please do not drop off your kids on 12th Street unless you park and can safely walk them into school.  Children crossing on 12th St. are not clearly visible to traffic and it is dangerous for staff as they try to enter their assigned spaces.  Also, please remember that under no circumstances should you use the teacher assigned spaces (even for a short visit).  The teachers count on their spaces for quick access to school and to your kids.  

Don't forget!  We use volunteers to staff Rowell and need your help. The link to sign up is http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0448AEAD22A02-rowell3 - Password meadows. Click on the link and find the assigned week for your class, then choose the morning that works best for your schedule.  Thank you Mustangs, please do your part!!
