Principal's Message
This week marks both the halfway point of our semester and Friday will be the end of our current 2/4/6 period cycle.
It is important students put in extra effort this week to ensure all of their work is completed for this cycle of classes. Students need to check both their Google Classroom and Skyward to confirm they know what still needs to be completed. If there are questions, students can talk to their teachers when in class, go to Office Hours (offered Monday-Thursday from 1:15 to 1:45 online), call or email them. The link to teacher’s email and phone numbers can be found at https://www.meridian.wednet.edu/mhs/staff-contact/. If your teacher is not listed, please contact the office.
While these grades are not final semester grades, it is important to get as much work done as possible so there is less to worry about as new learning and work is introduced in our 1/3/5 classes.
If you have questions you can't find in this newsletter or by looking at the MHS website https://www.meridian.wednet.edu/mhs/, please contact me by phone at 360-398-8111 or by email at dforbes@meridian.wednet.edu.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Go Trojans!

Student Late Arrival and Early Pick Up
If you need to pick up your student early from school for an appointment or other reason, please call the MHS office at (360)398-8111. We will get your student for you, have them check out in the office, then send them out to your car.
Thank you for helping to keep our school safe!
RALF
RALF stands for Remote Attendance Learning Form and is required for all students to complete on their non-campus days. This would be the two days their cohort is assigned to be home and on Fridays.
Each teacher has a link to the RALF in their google classroom. We have also provided a link here to the google form. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfTR8ZCRJJKcx4dr5OirHXt_MMjq-7DfyMeuwMeZYsgarna0A/viewform .
Students need to fill out the form for each class they are currently taking. The form needs to be filled out before noon each day to count as being present in classes. If not completed by noon, the student is marked absent for that class period. Students do not need to fill one out for Homeroom as that class is only offered in person.
REMINDER ABOUT ATTENDANCE
Being present in class is vital to be successful in school. We want to encourage all of our students to be at school every day! If you are missing school, you are missing out on learning!
