Penn-Harris-Madison’s Meadow’s Edge Elementary School (K-5) was recently recognized by the Indiana Department of Education as being one of the top three Title I schools in Indiana for exceptional progress and student performance. There are nearly 900 pre-K through eighth grade Title I schools in the state. The IDOE used student performance on ISTEP+, an interview with the school’s principal, Jayson Snyder, and a school site visit to make the determination. More than 80 percent of Meadow’s Edge students passed math and English/language arts in ISTEP in 2013.

Meadow's Edge has been identified as a Reward School by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). Only 31 schools throughout the state received this honor. Reward Schools are Title I schools that show high growth or high achievement. Reward Schools will receive a plaque to recognize the designation. In addition, the State Board of Education may invite schools to present a Spotlight on Learning during one of its monthly meetings. Congratulations to students, parents and staff on this wonderful accomplishment. 

Meadow's Edge has been rated an A school by the Indiana Department of Education. This grade reflects Meadow's Edge's most recent academic performance and is calculated based on data collected throughout each school year. The grade takes into account a variety of factors including student performance and student growth.

Your child’s health is important to us. It is well known that healthy children are in a better position to take advantage of the educational opportunities presented to them than children who are physically or emotionally struggling.

Immunizations are used to protect your children against certain diseases as well as other children in the school. Under Indiana Public Law, when a child enrolls in school his/her parent/guardian is required to furnish written proof that a child is fully immunized as required by the Indiana State Department of Health. Parents must furnish immunization paperwork to the school health office before the first day of school, which is August 19, 2015.

Immunizations may be obtained from your family doctor, St. Joseph County Health Department, or other area clinics. Please call the school health office for resources.
