We hope you are preparing for a wonderful Spring Break!
Due to the recent COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak, we want to ensure the health and safety of our school community as we know many of our families will be traveling over the break.
Out of an abundance of caution, the senior trip planned for next week will be cancelled due to the concern surrounding international travel. We are also asking our community to report any upcoming travel, both international and out-of-state.
This reporting is voluntary.
Our goal is to quickly identify any members of our community who show signs of illness and who have also traveled to an affected area. In the event of an illness, Meridian will work with local officials to ensure the safety of our community.
You can report travel by filling out
this form
. Please note that only those who plan to travel out of the state or country, or who have family members visiting from another state or country, need to complete the form. We are asking that any relevant Spring Break travel be reported by Sunday, March 22. We anticipate that you may have questions. Please see this list of FAQs, which we will update as needed.
In addition to reporting your travel, we also ask that you help keep our community healthy by:
We are also looking into options that would allow us to provide distance learning (internet-based "teleschooling") in the event that Meridian would need to close for any reason.
To help us with these plans, we ask that every family complete this survey to notify us of their children's access to a device with internet access.
Please know that my team and I will continue to stay up to date over the break and will monitor the information coming from the CDC, local health officials, and TEA. I hope you all have a wonderful Spring Break, and I t
hank you for helping to keep our
Meridian
community safe during this time.
