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
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 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.
