Important Bus Card Information

​2017 infor coming soon...
All MTA bus cards  that have been issued this school year will be good through September 15, 2016 for use for MTA busses.  This is important to know because, as you fill out the paperwork for a new card for the 2016-2017 school year, there is always a delay in receiving them at the beginning of the school year.  By holding on to this year’s card, your child shouldn’t have a “gap” between the 2015-2016 card and the 2016-2017 card.

LiveSchool

Parents and students may resume using LiveSchool accounts as most did last year.  Click below for help resetting a password or to set up an account if you never set one up last year.  If you're not sure if an account was created in the past, please contact your child's teacher for assistance.  If you have an access code that says it is "invalid," that means an account was set up in the past and a teacher will be able to tell you the e-mail and change your password.

SEL for PARENTS

SEL (Social Emotional Learning)
Having a growth mindset is essential for a successful life. According to Carol Dweck, "If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning." Go to the parent section of the "SEL at Meigs" website and read "Five Parenting Strategies to Develop a Growth Mindset" to learn more. (http://selatmeigs.weebly.com/for-parents.html) ---
