Colony Meadows is committed to Take a Stand and Lend a Hand when it comes to bullying. Please read the attached article from the United States Department of Health and Human Services which explains what to do if your child is being bullied. We can all work together to make our campus, our community and our country "bully free".

Students' attendance is one of the priorities for Colony Meadows Elementary. When students are absent, they miss valuable teachers' instructions and important lessons.
