Surprise Baby Shower for Coach Yocham





We have our 2nd district matchup tonight in Ranger with kick-off set for 7:00 pm.
There will be a "will call" list so if you plan to attend, they will just ask for your name. Their stadium holds a large capacity so there is plenty of room for all those wishing to attend and support our kids.
Ranger ISD does require face coverings to enter, encourages social distancing and asks that you wear face coverings in common areas such as restrooms and concessions.
We hope to see you in Ranger tonight!

Adjustments to Remote Learning
Meridian ISD has approximately 5% of our students currently participating in Remote Learning in an asynchronous style. This is the same format we have been using this year which includes video instruction from teachers, using Google classroom, submitting assignments online and being actively engaged.
As part of the Remote Learning Agreement, students must be passing and actively participating to have the option to remain remote. We continually monitor the progress of all students, and specifically our remote learners.
At this time, we will continue to offer Remote/asynchronous instruction for students who meet the criteria. For students who haven’t been successful with Remote Learning, parents will be contacted and Remote Learning will no longer be an option.
Meridian ISD has also chosen to delay starting synchronous (live feed) instruction until January 5, 2021. For the benefit of our students, we want to be sure our technology and devices are in order prior to launching that project.
Thanks!
