MERSD End of Week Update!

Good Afternoon MERSD Community,

In case anyone missed it, I'm ending the week by sharing this outstanding virtual performance of the National Anthem by the MERHS Soundwaves
 
Enjoy!



Updates & Reminders  - New Items

Class of 2020 Celebration 

  • Save the Date!  June 5 at 4:30 – Class of 2020 Car Parade: Students will begin to arrive at 4pm.  We are planning a safe environment, yet festive atmosphere,  in the parking lot and then a parade through the streets of Manchester and Essex.  More detailed information soon.
Pick-Up of Student Materials:  Student material pick-up will take place between May 28th and June 5th.  Principals have created and communicated school-specific plans including dates and times.  If you have questions, please contact your building principal.

Remote Learning: The MERSD Remote Learning Plan and related documents are available on our Remote Learning Page.  If you have questions or concerns related to the implementation of the remote planning plan, I encourage you to reach out to the school using the  MERSD Problem Solving Quick Guide.

Food Assistance:
 Free Lunch is available to all who need it.
School Buildings: All buildings and fields will remain closed per the Governor’s order.
  • No access for students, staff, or the community.
  • During the shutdown, buildings will be cleaned and sanitized.
Construction at Memorial School continues under the guidelines for essential construction.

School Closure:  All Massachusetts schools remain closed and we will continue implementing Remote Learning for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.  Because we opted to eliminate three days of April Break to continue remote learning through that period, the DESE has advised that we can end the school year on the 181st day of school.  That puts our last day of school at June 19th
