Meridian Middle School

If you haven't had the chance to stop by MMS during regular office hours (or just want to come for another visit), the building will be open TONIGHT from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity for your child to drop off school supplies, practice the locker combination, and get familiar with their class schedule. Stop by the office if you'd like a printed copy of their schedule!

School picture day is scheduled for Monday, August 25. All students will have a picture taken for the yearbook. If you'd like to order prints, visit www.inter-state.com and use order code 0137HNF.

Come on out to the MS Softball home opener vs Argenta. Grab a hotdog and eat some popcorn. It's a great day for softball!!

Game time 4:30. See you there!

Thanks to the Decatur Family YMCA's Backpack Attack Drive, we have a limited amount bookbags and basic school supplies available for families needing assistance. If your student could benefit, please email Mrs. Comerford, our Student Services Coordinator, at comerfordc@meridianhawks.net.

We are looking forward to welcoming our students back next week! The first day of student attendance is Tuesday, August 19. They will dismiss at 1:30 p.m. Please remember that all car riders should be dropped off and picked up from the MHS main entry to ensure the drive stays open and available for our buses. The bus riders will unload and load from the MMS main entry. The doors for the Macon campus will open at 7:25 a.m. with the first warning bell ringing at 7:40 a.m. Before the warning bell, 6th graders will sit in the gym while 7th & 8th graders sit in the cafeteria. Please make sure your child arrives with plenty of time to grab breakfast, stop by the locker, and get to class before the 7:46 a.m. bell. It's going to be a great year for our Hawks!

Here are the remaining coaching opportunities at Meridian.

With our first two athletic seasons underway, I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all of our coaches!

Your dedication does not go unnoticed—from showing up early to prepare practice plans, to staying late to care for our facilities. You all go above and beyond to ensure our athletes have the opportunity to grow, compete, and do what they enjoy as an extension of the classroom.

Thank you for investing your time and energy into our youth. GO HAWKS!

Hawk Nation, let's wish Coach Bickel and her cheerleaders good luck as they continue their journey of cheering for our football team in the Fall and basketball team in the Winter.

Thanks for all the voice, energy, and support you bring to our school!

As a reminder, a State of Illinois health physical, Immunizations, and a dental exam is required for our 6th graders. The State of Illinois health physical will work as the athletic physical for those students interested in participating in sports this year (the IESA sports physical does not work as the health physical). If you haven't made appointments yet, please do so to ensure the necessary paperwork is on file with Mrs. Enlow by the given dates! Please reach out to her with any questions (enlown@meridianhawks.net).

Congratulations to our new 2025 MMS Baseball Team!

Our first game is on 8/13/25 @ Home VS Nokomis @ 4:30.
