Meadowlark Parents and Families, I would like to thank you all for being so responsive to our communications this afternoon. We plan to start our Friday as normal with breakfast beginning at 7:45 and the first bell ringing at 8:15. Dismissal will be at 1:05. Have a wonderful night .

Any MDLK students walking or riding their bikes must be picked up by a parent or guardian at 3:05. Please call if you have any questions- 307-684-9518

September 10, 2020 Good afternoon Meadowlark parents and families, I wanted to update you all on our current situation and our plan for a safe dismissal at the end of the school day. We went into a "stay put" when we were issued the police alert this afternoon. This means that students are in their respective classrooms unless they are transitioning to a specials class or in need of the restroom. Nobody is allowed outside the school building. At our 3:05 dismissal time, we will have students line up with their classroom teacher on the front playground area. Parents are asked to walk to their child's teacher and check their child out. This will mean using the front parking lot for most cars. Buses will run as normal and we will have extra duty staff attending those students prior to loading. Thank you and please do not hesitate to call the school if you have more questions. Mrs. Graves 684-9518

Parents and Guardians, please know that buses will be running on schedule this afternoon. Feel free to call the District office with any questions.

ALERT! ATTEMPTED CHILD ABDUCTION NEAR ANGUS AND WESTERN AVENUE. PERPETRATOR WAS A WHITE MALE, DRIVING A DARK PICK-UP TRUCK. PLEASE BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY.

Dear parents/guardians: JCSD#1 will be taking part in the USDA extended waiver by offering ALL in person & virtually enrolled JCSD#1 students FREE meals (breakfast & lunch), through December 31, 2020. This will begin Monday, September 14th and will follow the school calendar for both Buffalo and Kaycee. All virtual students that wish to eat school breakfast &/or lunch will need to sign up in advance by contacting Ricci Sanders at 307-620-9206, M-Th between 8am-4:30pm. The process for meal pickup will be communicated when you sign up. On January 1, 2021 all lunch statuses will revert back to what they are as of September 11th, unless an updated and approved application is submitted before December 31st. Therefore, I still need to be collecting Free and Reduced Lunch applications. Approved applications also help fund our schools in other ways. So please get those turned into me if you have not done so after July 1, 2020. If your student has a negative lunch balance please take this opportunity to get that caught up so that he/she begins with a zero balance in January. If you have any questions, please give me a call! Thank you, Ricci

School Start and Release Schedule

Please see the following update from our Public Health Officer: Because of some confusion about the use of face masks and face shields at JCSD1, Dr. Schueler has now clarified by stating that masks only are allowed per Public Health Order #10. Face Shields will not be a substitute unless in the exempted cases outlined in the order. Dr. Schueler states that there is growing evidence that face shields do protect against COVID-19, but until the state and local public health offices approve of face shield use in the schools, Johnson County Schools should use face coverings or facemasks, and not face shields.
