Indian Meridian Elementary is a Great Expectations Model school.  Our faculty and staff, under the guidance of our wonderful principals, Mrs. Vaeth and Mrs. Doughty, have worked hard to implement Great Expectations into our classrooms and our lives.  You will receive a packet of materials designed to familiarize you with Great Expectations at Open House and/or Back to School Night.  Great Expectations has tenants it is founded upon.  Among these are the beliefs that "All Children Can Learn", "Teacher Attitude and Responsibility", "High Expectations", "Building Self-Esteem", "Climate of Mutual Respect", and "Teacher Knowledge and Skill".  I hope you will be able to see that our school is a place your child will excel.
