Dear Parent/Caregiver,
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, the Meade School District 46-1 is conducting a survey in partnership with Studer Education to monitor our progress in creating a positive school experience for you and your child(ren). Your feedback is crucial in helping the Meade School District identify areas for recognition and improvement.
The survey will ask you to select the school your child(ren) attends. Once you complete the survey for 1 school, you will have the option to provide feedback on another school, if you have a child at another school in the district. Providing feedback to each school should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. We encourage you to complete it in one sitting, as your responses will be saved once you click submit.
The survey is scheduled for 3/16/2026 through 3/25/2026.
To maintain confidentiality of the Parent/Caregiver Survey, our partners at Studer Education will be administering the survey, managing the data collection, and aggregating the data to provide results reports to leaders.
Wayne Wormstadt, Superintendent

On the evening of Thursday, March 5 the SWMS PTSA held their annual bingo night. Students, parents, and staff that attended were served pizza before bingo began. Several rounds of bingo were played with students winning various prizes. Fun was had by all.
On March 4, thirty-one eighth grade students enjoyed a day on the slopes at Terry Peak. When students arrived they were fitted with skis and a helmet. Next, students were given a ski lesson by one of the Terry Peak expert instructors. Once those 3 steps were complete students were allowed to ski on their own with 3 teacher chaperones standing by should anyone need assistance.
SWMS would like to thank the VFW Auxiliary for their generous donation to the Scooper Closet.
