We hope you are having a great start to the school year!

This year we are launching our new strategic plan called Our Commitments. One area of focus for us is communications and specifically with improving two-way communication with all of our families. We want to share with you the best ways to get in contact with our staff and schools!

ParentSquare

Last year we introduced ParentSquare. ParentSquare is a communications platform that is designed to keep parents and guardians informed, and encourage greater engagement and connection with our schools. It provides a safe and simple way for parents to:

  • Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification

  • Choose to receive information instantly or once with a daily digest at 6 p.m.

  • Communicate in your preferred language

  • Direct message teachers and staff

Parents do not need to register their account to receive messages but if you would like to customize your notification settings or interact more with the app, you will need to activate your account.

If you need help with ParentSquare, we have resources available on our website or contact Director of Public Relations Lisa Gilchrist at 360-318-2159 or lgilchrist@meridian.wednet.edu.

StudentSquare

This year we launched StudentSquare at Meridian High School. StudentSquare is only available at the high school and is connected to student’s district email addresses. Students can choose to download the StudentSquare app onto their phone or they can access StudentSquare through a web browser.

Important information about student activities, events and athletics will be shared through StudentSquare. StudentSquare is also the district tool coaches will use to communicate with students. Just like ParentSquare, when a message is sent through StudentSquare, it will also be sent to the student’s district email address. All posts sent through StudentSquare will be supervised by an advisor and can be monitored at any time by an administrator.

School Websites and Staff Directory

Each of our schools and the district have their own website. You can visit our district website at www.meridian.wednet.edu. This is where important information and district news is shared. You can locate each school website, phone number and address by visiting our schools webpage.

On each website we have a searchable staff directory. You can search by name, title or location. Our staff directory lists the staff member’s name, title, phone number, email address and location. Please use this information to either call or email our schools or staff.

Who to Contact

Additional Apps and Programs

Over the past few years we have introduced a number of apps and programs to streamline processes for families and staff. Many of these tools are optional. You can learn more about each of these tools on our tech resources webpage.
