Dear Parents,

We know many of our families have questions and concerns as we head into Spring Break. With the situation being fluid and continuing to change, the TEA Commissioner, Mike Morath, will hold a daily call for superintendents to receive updates over the next week. Additionally, school leadership will meet with Meridian's School Health Advisory Council, comprised of parents and staff, to consider options over the coming weeks. While there are currently no plans to close the school after Spring Break, the situation could change rapidly. 

If you have not done so already, and you have plans to travel (for work or pleasure) or host out-of-town guests over the break, please complete this  survey.

For those who plan to travel internationally, please do so knowing that you may be asked to quarantine yourself for up to two weeks upon returning. This is especially true for the following countries who are on a Level 3 Travel Health Notice:
  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • China
  • Czech Republic
  • Denmark
  • Estonia
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Hungary
  • Iceland
  • Iran
  • Italy
  • Latvia
  • Liechtenstein
  • Lithuania
  • Luxembourg
  • Malta
  • Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Poland
  • Portugal
  • Slovakia
  • Slovenia
  • South Korea
  • Spain
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
  • Monaco
  • San Marino
  • Vatican City
Also understand that the situation is changing daily and the list could grow. 

Next week, we will undergo our regular Spring Break "deep clean" to ensure the facilities are ready for our return. Rest assured that we have plenty of supplies to continue operations.

Should the situation continue to escalate, we will prepare to provide students with distance learning. Today, students were instructed to take home materials such as textbooks and workbooks. Should distance learning be required, those without devices at home will have the opportunity to check one out from school, and we will work to provide internet access for those who need it. If you haven't yet done so, please complete this survey to notify us of your child's access to a device with internet access.

Again, there are currently no plans to close the school after the break, but we will continue to monitor the situation. As always, please continue to read all communications coming from Meridian. 

Health professionals suggest taking this week for rest and relaxation to boost your immunity systems. So please, sleep well, enjoy the fresh air, and enjoy time with your families! We look forward to seeing you after the break!

Sincerely,

Rick Fern รกndez
