Story by Meeting Street Schools / June 2, 2022
What A Year It Has Been! As you head into Memorial Day and the final week of school, there is so much to celebrate and reflect upon as it pertains to 2021-22. The hard work and dedication to take things to the #NEXTLEVEL this year was awesome. Here, we look ahead.
We would be remiss if we didn’t first share that we continue to recruit team members for the 2022-23 school year and beyond, particularly for middle school teachers to join our growing campuses across Charleston. Please continue to refer incredible people to our growing mission.
As we shared back in March, Meeting Street Schools has spent much of the last several months getting ready for 2022-23. We have continued to consider multiple sources of data in our collective planning: the academic and life trajectories of our students, the results of org-wide surveys, best practices from across the network and nation, the voices of team members through various collaborative forums, the statewide policy landscape, etc. We have continued to triangulate that data and take various actions.
Here is one more major initiative, in addition to the collective academic calendar and uniform fall break, that we’re psyched to share today:
NEW Team Health and Wellness Opportunities:
After collecting and studying the feedback received from the wellness surveys, Meeting Street Schools is making major investments in health and wellness initiatives. These include:
As summer begins, we are honored to roll-out these #NEXTLEVEL Health & Wellness initiatives at Meeting Street Schools. Upon return for Launch Day on July 26, 2022, they will be all-systems-go. We are so proud to be a part of a team that puts students and families first every day and works to educate the WHOLE CHILD. Hopefully, these new initiatives will strengthen us as individuals, as whole adults, and as a community, because they are investments in the people who dedicate themselves every day to the mission of reforming the educational status quo.
See you at GRADUATION DAY, Last Days, & Beyond. #SOLIDGREEN

“MSA is a family. Once you’re in, you’re in. They said they would follow our kids from K-3 to college and they actually lived up to what they said they would do. Not only did MSA challenge my daughter academically but it also exposed her to new things that she probably wouldn’t have been exposed to at our previous neighborhood school. Our journey at MSA was exciting and rewarding. They actually walk the walk.”
