Dear Meridian Families,
This message is for families that do parent pick-up after school. On Tuesday, November 1st, we are starting a new dismissal procedure. Our goal is to reduce congestion at the Kindergarten (south) exit and to create a more orderly dismissal process. We will ask the adults to pick up their child at their respective grade level sign. If you have multiple children in different grade levels, please plan to meet at the lowest grade level sign first, and then travel to the higher grade level.
In our new procedure, students in third and fourth grade will be coming out of the building from our front doors, while the rest will exit the south end. You will also see some signage in a roped-off area, indicating that space is only for staff and students. In an effort to be consistent, we will wait to release your child until we are at our grade level sign. If someone other than yourself is picking up your child, please let them know about this as well. This will help us have a more orderly dismissal experience. We really appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Josh Hook
Principal

Hello Mustangs! As the start of the school year approaches, we have news to share with you from our Food Service Department. Please see the information below.
With the end of the 2021-2022 school year, also brought the end of the free meals for all students. Congress did not renew this program, meaning we are returning to the free and reduced lunch program. All students will still get a free breakfast, but not lunches. We are asking all families to fill out a free and reduced lunch application whether you think you qualify or not. The portal for doing all things food service is now https://meridian.familyportal.cloud. Parents will register for an account and be able to fill out the free/reduced application, see what students are purchasing for lunch, add funds to lunch accounts (no longer on e-funds) and more. Any questions can be sent to the food service department at foodservice@merps.org or 989-687-3212. Thank you. #ReachHigher

Spring is in the air at Meridian Elementary!
Second grade students are in the process of learning about plants. They are becoming botanists by taking care of their individual bean plants. Students are making daily plant observations and learning what plants need to grow starting with a seed. #ReachHigher
