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! Mrs. Edwards

In following UIL guidelines for spectators: • Face coverings are required to enter the stadium and need to stay on when 6 feet of distance can't be maintained. • Each visitor will complete a COVID self-check and be temperature scanned. • Home fans please park & enter through the north gate if possible. • Bleachers & the fence are marked with caution tape for spectators to be positioned in groupings 6 feet apart. • Do not remove, reposition, sit or stand where there is caution tape. • Our Band of Gold will have their own set of bleachers on the track where they are more visible and free up additional seating. • Fans will not be allowed to enter the field at the conclusion of the game.
