Athletic Registration and Fall Sports

Families of students in middle and high school can register their child for athletics through FinalForms. In addition to registering online, your student will need a current sports physical on file. The sports physical cannot expire during the sport season and is required for students to participate in athletics. You can get a sports physical from your regular health care provider. If you need support registering through FinalForms, use this Parent Playbook, visit our website or contact Director of Athletics Bryant Michaelson at 360-318-2160.

All Sports Nights
Families and athletes are invited to attend All Sports Nights at Meridian High School on Aug. 19. Rules, expectations and requirements for student athletes will be discussed at this meeting. Both middle and high school presentations will be at Meridian High School in the auditorium. Spanish and Punjabi interpretation will be available.

  • Middle school sports information, 5-7 p.m.
  • High school sports information, 7-9 p.m.

Bus Routes

Bus routes for the 2024-25 school year are posted to our website. Please check back often as route adjustments may be made prior to the start of the school year.

ParentSquare

Meridian School District uses ParentSquare to communicate important school information to families. An invitation to register for ParentSquare will be sent to families before the start of the school year. You will only receive this invitation if you have not already registered. You do not need to register with ParentSquare to receive messages, but if you want to update your notification preferences, you’ll need to log in to your account.

Prior to the start of school, high school students will also receive an invitation to StudentSquare. This is the student version of ParentSquare that students can use to receive important school information and communicate with their teachers. 

You can use ParentSquare and StudentSquare on any device. Download the free mobile app or use the desktop version at www.parentsquare.com. For more information visit our website.

School Supplies

School supply lists for Irene Reither Elementary School and Meridian Middle School can be found on their websites, under the Families & Students menu. Meridian High School and MP3 students will receive information about school supplies from their teachers after school starts.
