Monthly Meetings

Our meetings are for all otters

Every caregiver has a voice and seat at the table at the Meadow View SCO. We welcome all Otter caregivers and Meadow View staff at our meetings. Did you know Otter caregivers and Meadow View staff are automatically members of the SCO?


It’s important to us that all caregivers have the opportunity to fully participate in our meetings. This year all of our monthly meetings will be bilingual in Spanish and English.


Our monthly SCO meetings are a great opportunity to learn more about Meadow View activities, hear more about special topics important to our learners and community like Sunshine Place and Leader in Me, as well as meet and connect with other caregivers. And you will also have the opportunity to help plan or support events for our teachers and students as well as decide how we should focus the SCO’s resources this school year. 


What to expect at an SCO meeting

  • Date and time: Second Tuesday of every month from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
  • Location: Meadow View Library, on the second floor. The library is over the central hallway and you can see it when you enter the main entrance.
  • Child care: Yes, we provide childcare in the maker space off the library at every meeting so please bring your Otters and their younger siblings.
  • Food: Yes, we will have Costco cheese pizza available. Please join us for dinner!
  • Languages: English and Spanish 
    • Our Community Schools Site Coordinator Leidi Perez De Celta is partnering with the SCO so we can host bilingual meetings.
    • Our goal this year is to make sure every Otter caregiver is able to participate in our meeting and our Otter community.
  • Every meeting will have three parts: 
    • SCO business, like reviewing our budget, expenses, and funding requests.
    • Presentation and discussion, like learning more about community schools, Sunshine Place, helping support your learner in math or literacy. 
    • Planning future events and activities, like Otter Trot, Career Day, and teacher appreciation.


October 13, 2026 Meeting

We will be joined by members of our Meadow View literacy team at our October SCO Meeting! They will share information about how we can help support our students on their reading journey and share some tips. They also look forward to your questions and hearing more about literacy needs from parents and caregivers. 


We will also talk about a literacy night we are hoping to partner with the literacy team on in mid-February. 

​

Following the presentation and discussion we will:

  1. Review final logistics for the Otter Trot, including volunteers, incentives, and fundraising status. 
  2. Get read-out the ice cream social and share feedback.
  3. Get an update on the SCO budget.
  4. Get an update on plans for events in October, November, and December.


Past Meetings

Please reach us at meadowviewsco@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Our first SCO meeting of the school year featured a presentation from Meadow View’s very own Community Schools Site Coordinator Leidi Perez De Celta and Community Schools Program Coordinator Jamie Racine about what it means for Meadow View to be a community school and what to expect this year.

​

This meeting was also a great opportunity to:

  1. Meet other Meadow View caregivers.
  2. Talk about upcoming events like the ice cream social and the Otter Trot and learn how you can volunteer for them.
  3. Get read-out on our back-to-school events.
  4. Get an update on the SCO budget.
  5. Discuss results from a survey of teachers where they identify support they need from the SCO.
