Graduation Product Orders
Monday, February 10 and Tuesday, February 11
Representatives from Herff Jones Orders will be on the Meridian campus February 10-11 to take orders for graduation regalia (cap and gowns), class rings, and graduation announcements. Parents/guardians may come to campus to place these orders themselves, or the student can place their own order. You may come either day, but consider coming on Monday, February 10 when it's less busy. Orders will be taken in the High School Tech Commons from 1:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
See this lovely guide created by Robyn Tester about graduation products for the Class of 2025! Thank you, Mrs. Tester!
Senior Yard Signs
Parents and guardians of seniors it's time to order senior yard signs. This is an optional way for your family to celebrate your senior with either a "generic" or "personalized" senior yard sign. The cost for each sign is $9. Orders are due February 14th.
Senior Trip self defense class
Wednesday, February 26 at 3 p.m.
Costa Rica is a safe country for travel, but the Vallejo family business (Aaron Vallejo Insurance Agency & Hippo Social Performance Club) is sponsoring a self-defense class for interested seniors. The class is limited to 25 participants. Reserve your spot.
IB Exams
The IB exam schedule for May 2025 is available. IB Exam invoices are in your MySchoolBucks account. The balance is due April 15. MySchoolBucks adds a 4% fee; you are invited to avoid this fee by paying with a personal check. Please make the check payable to "Meridian School" and write your student's name in the memo like this "John Doe - for IB Exams." Send your check to the high school office in a sealed envelope to the attention of Stela Holcombe.
