Teacher Appreciation Week
|
A heartfelt thanks goes out to all the families who sent our teachers kind notes during Teacher Appreciation Week! Volunteers in Partnership sent out
this sweet email to our staff last Friday. Thank you to everyone who participated in showing them love. (ViP will soon send out a recap email to parents as well.)
Meridian's administration always does something special for faculty and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week, and this year that was to surprise all 235 staff members with a special yard sign. We're all so proud to be part of the Meridian Family!

The Texas Education Agency has provided additional guidance for schools and how grades can be reported for the 4th quarter of the 2020-2021 school year. Students will receive either a P or an F for the 4th quarter. A 'P' on the report card indicates they participated in and submitted work for the fourth quarter, an 'F' on the report card indicates that the student did not attend Zoom class sessions and/or completed very minimal work for the fourth quarter. If a student receives an F on the report card, it does NOT indicate failure for the year. An F on the report card in the fourth quarter will not be an indicator of a student not advancing to the next grade level.

Before Meridian School closed due to COVID-19, Lifetouch had planned on sending hard copy PROOFS of your child's spring pictures to the school to be distributed to families. However, this is no longer able to happen. If you would like to view and order your child's spring pictures, you must do so online using the instructions provided by Lifetouch HERE (link attachment here). Please direct all questions about spring pictures to Lifetouch as the school does not have access to your photos. Thank you!

I would like to extend an enormous thank you to each and everyone of you who took time last week to make your child's classroom teacher feel so valued and loved. I have seen the powerpoint slides, read some of the emails, heard about the delicious Chuy's meal delivered to a doorstep and celebrated in hearing about the amazing drive by celebrations - complete with decorated cars and plenty of shouting and honking. Our entire staff love what they do, and I often hear them say that they couldn't imagine doing anything else. Our entire schedule and way that we do our work has changed...seemingly overnight and yet our staff remain focused on trying to provide all that they can for each and every one of our incredible students. I truly thank you for taking time last week to recognize and celebrate their efforts.
The journey continues...
