Welcome to the Meadow Woods Elementary School Family!A woman in a blazer smiles, sitting at a desk.
2025–2026 School Year

Dear Students and Families,

It is with a full heart and great excitement that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Meadow Woods Elementary! I am deeply honored to serve as your new principal and to join this vibrant, caring, and inspiring community. From the moment I stepped onto campus, I felt the warmth and pride that make this school so special—and I already feel at home.

As an educator and a lifelong learner, I believe that schools are more than buildings—they are places where dreams take root, friendships blossom, and every child is seen and celebrated. I am thrilled to walk alongside you as we nurture not only academic excellence but also kindness, curiosity, and confidence in every student.

At Meadow Woods Elementary, we are committed to creating a joyful, safe, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. Our incredible staff is ready to guide, challenge, and cheer on your children as they grow into thoughtful, capable, and compassionate individuals.

To our families: you are our most valuable partners. Your support, encouragement, and involvement are the heart of our success. Whether you're reading together at bedtime, attending school events, or simply asking about your child’s day, you are making a powerful difference. We are truly in this together.

This year is filled with promise—engaging lessons, new friendships, and countless moments of discovery and joy.

I invite you to stay connected by visiting our website and following us on social media:

Let’s make this a year to remember—one filled with learning, laughter, and love. And remember: the greatest gift you can give your child is your time. Just 20 minutes of reading together each day can create memories that last a lifetime.

With warmth and gratitude,
Lakeitha Mincey
