Dear Meridian Elementary Parents,
Please note that one of the new requirements this year within the Transportation Department is for parents to notify the Transportation Department by 2 pm for last minute parent pick-up changes, while all other changes still require 72 hours. Parents can either call 687-3249 or email the Transportation Department at transportation@merps.org by the 2 pm deadline. The department then contacts the teacher and elementary office staff. Thank you for your cooperation with this while we continue to streamline our services.
MES staff had fun celebrating Halloween with your children today! Enjoy the evening and stay safe!

MES Parents: One of our goals is to keep our students’ absences from school at a minimum. Of course, the obvious reason is that they learn more when they are consistently present. 1 out of every 7 U.S. students misses nearly a month of school each year - Yikes! Together, let’s work hard at improving student attendance this year. Please let us know if we can assist with challenges you are facing with your child’s attendance. Thank you!
