I couldn't agree more with Angela's review. At Meadows, you feel like a community. Your community. We too are a military family so for us, we move often. It is so nice to feel welcome each time we step foot in Meadows. They are always available should you have any concerns or needs. My son's teacher and para are amazing! My son truly looks forward to going to school every day. They're attentive to each child's needs. I've seen them firsthand how they manage behavior issues and it's always with kindness and always with the intention to build the child up. I once asked if they had some sort of merit system like the Yelm school district. The response shocked me. They do not believe in merit systems where the child's lack of progress or regression is paraded to the entire class and therefore, humiliating the child and lowering their self esteem. Instead, they reward good behavior and re guide the children who need the extra help. Pure kindness and love.

I am a mother of three children who have all attended Meadows Elementary, this is our second year with the school. At first I was concerned when boundary changes moved our enrollment over, especially since I am in the military and I was going to be gone the first few months of their first year at the school. I have been nothing but impressed with the teachers and staff at Meadows! The principal, vice principal, school counselor and military support counselor are ALWAYS present, active, in the know and personable. They embraced our family, our unique challenge and our concerns with open and proactive arms from the moment we arrived. All of our children's teachers have been the same. Energetic, interactive and available. When you walk through the doors you always get a sense of community and you feel safe and one of the most friendly and kind people you will ever meet are right at the front desk! So grateful that this is our school during these precious years.
