MERIDIANA ELEMENTARY PARENT UPDATE Parents, I wanted to share with you some important information. First of all, please give our Explorers a hug from us! We miss them and hope everyone is doing well! Here is some information on how we are moving forward with our learning at Meridiana. GOOGLE CLASSROOM. We understand that you have a lot of information coming at you at once, so we want to help make it a little easier. All teachers have created a google classroom where assignments are posted. Information about Google Classrooms can be found on our school website www.alvinisd.net. There you can find all google classrooms you have joined, a link to see all google classroom codes, so you can join your child's class if you have not yet been invited (Art, Music, and P.E.), and information on how to use Google Classroom. Teachers will be ready no later than Monday, March 23rd at 9:00 am to share assignments for students. EVEN THOUGH SCHOOL IS CLOSED, WE ARE STILL HOLDING STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LEARNING. We understand that you may be limited on time and resources, so we have made accommodations for this. Teachers have prioritized TEKS and are mindful of time restraints. Every Monday morning at 9:00 am teachers will have an overview of the week. Please keep checking as they may be posting throughout the week as well. Teachers are using a variety of ways to communicate with their students to check in and make sure they are understanding their learning. As parents, we also want to hear from you as well. Please make sure to keep the lines of communication open with your child's teacher. WITHOUT INTERNET/DEVICES. We understand that some students may not have internet or devices at home to do their work. Teachers are in the process of calling parents with no internet or technology access to give them times so they can come and pick up work. Parents who have been called can pick up materials through the car rider line in the front of the school on Monday, March 23rd from 8:00 am-noon and 4:00-7:00 and Wednesday, March 25th from 8:00am-12:00. Parents must stay in their car with the car rider sign visible. Staff will be watching for car rider signs and deliver to the cars. Your child's teacher will communicate future dates for pick up when more work is needed. COMMUNICATION. Teachers will be communicating through Bloomz, Google Classroom, and email. We will also continue to send our Parent Newsletter and other messages through Skylert. Check our social media which includes Facebook and twitter. Also, please check the district homepage and Meridiana's homepage for any additional information. You may also use Let's Talk when needed as well. Thank you for your patience during this time. We are chartering unknown territory. I am thankful and blessed to work with such an amazing staff! They have been incredible this week as we have had virtual meetings, planned virtual lessons, and spent hours after school preparing for this new "reality" we are in. One thing that I am positive about is that they love their students, and they want them to be safe and know that they care about them. Thank you for all that you do! Mrs. Weiss, Principal of Meridiana Elementary

V I R T U A L LY CONNECTED Meridiana residents have put the social in social distancing. Just because they can't physically be with friends or neighbors doesn't mean they can't virtually be together. And they have found a way to do just that! It's all about staying connected - witch is pretty easy, thanks to technology. Residents have found creative ways to keep their spirits up by sharing chalk art with friends and family on social media, while others are connecting online. Whether it is karaoke on Facetime or a Happy Hour on Zoom, our residents have found the best ways to stay connected to the ones that mean most to them!

We are the Schuster's! We are High-school sweethearts originally from Lake Jackson Texas, and have always loved the small town feel. However, when considering building our first home we wanted easier commutes to our work with having the convenience of being close to the big city. Once we took the tour of Meridiana, we fell in love with everything & didn’t even look at any more neighborhoods! Mitchell enjoys playing golf, basketball on the weekends with the pittorre commons group, and traveling with me! We got to go on many adventures this past year including going to the Philippines and touring Europe. Traveling will soon be slowing down though, because we are expecting our first baby BOY who is due on July 4th. Hobbies for me now include researching all about motherhood as well as going on walks with our sweet King Charles, Rose. Mitchell has an e-commerce business through eBay & has been in business for 5 years. I am a NICU nurse at Children’s Memorial Hermann. These times have been difficult with the virus but it’s super crucial that we stick together as a community to flatten the curve! Remember to wash your hands and stay in the beautiful homes we are blessed to have.
