Juniors and seniors, take a look at this opportunity.
The girls basketball program is busy putting in work this evening.
Meridian on-line registration opens on Tuesday, August 1st. Registration should be completed through our new student management system - TeacherEase (https://www.teacherease.com/common/login.aspx). You should receive an email on July 31st with information to set up your TeacherEase account. Please complete on-line registration by Tuesday, August 8th. If you do not have internet/computer access at home, please call the school to set up a time to come in. A Chromebook will be available to complete online registration in any of the 3 offices (MES/MMS/MHS).
New student registration will be held in-person on Thursday, August 3 from 8 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Please complete registration at the school your child will attend. If you have children in multiple buildings, you can register them all at one school. You must bring proof of residency to register and your child’s birth certificate. Additional residency information can be found here - https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/763499/Residency_Affidavit.pdf
The remaining electrical materials arrived this week so permanent power was hooked up. Some minor details inside remain along with sidewalks and seeding, but the building will be ready for the opening of school!
I am so excited to begin my tenure as the Superintendent for the Meridian School District! I look forward to meeting and interacting with students, staff, parents, and community members throughout the school year. My wife (Jessica), our four children (Lyla, Beau, Mack, and Dewy), and I moved to the community this week and we have already been greeted by some of the nicest people we have ever met.
This year marks the beginning of my seventeenth year in education. I spent the last 5 years as the Superintendent for the Bluford School District near Mount Vernon. Prior to that, I spent seven years as a high school principal. The best part about working in a school is the kids. There is nothing like high fiving a line of kindergartners as they walk down the hallway! I look forward to meeting with staff throughout the district to learn about the needs of our students, staff, and community. I am a strong proponent of a collaborative approach to making progress. I am also a strong believer in servant leadership. As we begin the school year, my family and I will be active and involved with events throughout the district. Feel free to introduce yourself when you see me out and about.
I look forward to meeting the communities.
Best regards,
Dr. Shane Gordon

I hope this email finds you enjoying your summer! As we near the end of June, I want to pass along to you some important information pertaining to online registration for the upcoming 2023-24 school year. Over the course of this summer, the district has been transitioning away from Tyler SIS as our student information interface and will begin utilizing a student management system known as Teacher Ease. As a result of this transition, the look and necessities of online registration will be a little different for our district families. On July 31, you will receive an email from Common Goal/Teacher Ease providing you with instructions on setting up your new user name (which will be your email) and password for Teacher Ease. This email will be sent to all email addresses currently on file through Tyler SIS. Beginning on August 1, then, all returning district families will be able to login into Teacher Ease, with their newly created user name and password, and register their students for the 2023-24 school year. The deadline to complete online registration will be Friday, August 11. If you do not see an email from Common Goal/Teacher Ease on July 31, please check your spam folder to make sure it did not go there.
For the 2023-24 school year, the Meridian Board of Education has, again, waived the registration and technology fees for district families. You can see a list of all other applicable fees, along with lunch prices, at the link below.
