FROM THE PRINCIPAL

We made it through to the last day of school!

We have enjoyed seeing all of our students on campus for parties this week! Our students who have been distance learning have been so excited to see their classmates and teachers.

We appreciate all you have done to make this school year a success, especially since it has been a year like no other!

We'll send an all-school email out next week with important summer dates, survey results, and fall plans.

Please have a safe, relaxing summer. Enjoy the break and we will see you in August!

-- Melissa Reese, Primary Principal

5th Grade Exhibition

5th Grade marks the culmination of our students’ experience in the IB Primary Years Program. As 6th graders, they enter the Middle Years Program. During this last year of PYP, students in schools around the world participate in Exhibition to bring together the knowledge, concepts, and skills they have been learning throughout their time in the PYP.

This year, our 5th graders learned about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to explore challenges and opportunities in our world today. They chose an issue important to them to learn about the issue and what is being done to address the issue. We are excited to share the results of their learning with you!

Please visit our Exhibition website to view some of our students’ presentations.

It's back! Waiters registration now open for next year

Register now for the Waiters Program for 2021-2022 school year! Waiters is designed for families with at least one student in Meridian primary (K-5th) and at least one student in Meridian secondary (6th-12th).

Meridian staff provide a safe place for the primary students to wait during after school time until their secondary siblings are released from school at 4:05/1:30 pm. This option allows K-12th siblings to be picked up at the same time rather than through two separate car lines.

Space is limited and registration closes July 12. Review the information and register today!
