Welcome to Stillmeadow
Roaring With Pride!
Stillmeadow elementary School is nestled in the residential neighborhood of Westover. Stillmeadow employs Positive Behavioral Instructional Support programs to build a positive school culture.
Mission Statement
“To read, to write,
To think critically, to learn deeply,
To reason, to analyze and evaluate information,
To communicate effectively in a variety of forms
And for a variety of purposes,
To inquire systematically into any important matter.”
At Stillmeadow, collaboration exists between administrators, teachers, parents, community, and students. This partnership helps to provide all students the ability to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful and lifelong learners. Stillmeadow is a school where each child is treated with dignity and respect, and children are taught with the future in mind. Staff ensures that each child has the opportunity to be happy and successful every day.
Stillmeadow also participates in instructional data teams (IDT) to analyze and monitor student performance. Through these analyses, teachers identify student strengths and weaknesses, discuss strategies and determine a plan of action to increase student achievement. The IDTs, along with the School Governance Council, focus on district and school goals and initiatives to update the School Improvement Plan annually. In addition, the literacy coach and math liaison provide continuity in the reading and math programs by planning and participating in staff development. Student intervention programs include Leveled Literacy Instruction, Recipe for Reading, Read180, and Read About.
After school programs include tutoring, chess, recycled art, and other recreational programs.
One of the most outstnading features of this school is Twin Meadows, a boundless playground. Bright colors, wheelchair accessible bridges and ramps, and tube slides make this playground a fun place for any child. When a Stillmeadow family had difficulties finding a playground where their twin daughters could play together – one of their daughters suffers from quadriplegic cerebral palsy from birth, they decided to build a boundless playground. The idea came to them after reading about another boundless playground in West Hartford. At Twin Meadows, there is something for every child. High back and seatbelt-equipped swings allow children with physical disabilities to swing next to children on typical swings. This playground opened October 2003 assisting and educating students with special needs, and it’s been the pride and joy of the school since then.
