Jaclyn Rudderrow, the Senior Director for School Programs for the Save The Music Foundation, visited MPSD Schools on Monday, August 26, 2024, to see the impact the Save The Music Program Grants have had on the elementary and middle school music programs.

We are so thankful for the Phil Hardin Foundation's support of the Arts in MPSD and the partnership they helped cultivate with the Save The Music Foundation.

September is Attendance Awareness Month and the Meridian Public School District has pledged to focus on reducing chronic absenteeism in the new school year.

A student who misses 10% or more of their school days, which averages to just two days a month, for any reason, is considered chronically absent.

Fifth-grade students at Parkview Elementary engaged in peer-to-peer reading activities with second-grade students. This helps develop strong bonds and improves listening skills through cooperative reading experiences.

Congratulations to Mrs. Malone’s 5th grade Science class at West Hills Elementary. They did a great job collaborating and synergizing on a “Why Do We Have Seasons” activity.
