Dear Mead Families,
We have had a wonderful start to the school year. It has been wonderful connecting with returning students and meeting new faces. It has been great to see our students diving into engaging learning experiences. A huge thank you to our freshman who brought great energy and enthusiasm on Tuesday for our welcome back day. Also, thank you to our LEAD team for designing an amazing day.
Our updated cell phone policy is already making a noticeable and positive impact on student learning. Students are engaged and focused during class time.
Our fall athletes are in full swing. This weekend, soccer is headed to the Western Slope, softball is up in Fort Collins for a tournament, and cross country heads to Colorado Springs for their first meet. Next weekend, Volleyball will be heading to the Eaton Invite next weekend and football is preparing for their first home regular season game on Friday night versus Roosevelt.
Our music programs have already started preparing for their first concerts. Keep a lookout for those dates on the calendar on our website.
Please remember that if you are dropping your student(s) off to use the drop-off loop, do not drop students off in the parking lot. Also, picture day is coming up on August 31st and September 1st, so please look out for more information regarding how to purchase pictures.
Thank you for your continued support of your student(s) and for being an essential part of the Maverick Family. Have a wonderful weekend.
Warm regards,
Lindsay LaPorte
Principal, Mead High School
