Learning Environment

South Meadow School (SMS) has a team of teachers at every grade level. Students have four core teachers for Math, English, Social Studies and Science. Students also have two specials each quarter which include Art, Health, Physical Education, Family and Consumer Sciences, Industrial Arts & Technology, Music, and Band. SMS practices Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS).

The Student Culture Committee has created many opportunities for students at SMS. The Student Culture Committee, which collects student input about School-Wide decisions, has created the SMS picnic, choice recess, and many other student-centered decisions.

All students are encouraged to be part of the SMS program for enrichment learning experiences which include: Robotics, 3-D Printing, Webcasting, Newspaper, Simple Machines, Mechanical Engineering, and Mind Puzzles. SMS follows an advisory model to develop connection and community. Each student is part of an Advisory of 8 to 12 students.

The Advisor is the point person for families, leads student conferences with families, and supports the connections of our students to the SMS community.

Family Involvement

Family meetings, sports programs, extra-curricular activities, book fairs, Teacher Appreciation Week, etc. all encourage parent involvement.

Community Connection

SMS embraces community connections with Rotary, Career Day, StemFest UNH, Keene State College, Peterborough Arts, local senior centers, Harris Center, Peterborough Recreation Department, Peterborough Library, River Center, local churches, and the SMS food pantry.
