Junior High students will need to login to Edgenuity to access assignments. High School students will use Study Island for most of their classes. The links to these two programs are on the Meadow ISD website under the Parent/Student tab. It is my belief that most if not all students will remember their Google login information, but the two electronic platforms may be an issue. Please email me if your child can't get online and I will get a generic password for them. bric.turner@meadowisd.net if you have any questions. Thank you and let us know if you need anything.

May 4th...Sorry for the mistype!

Bronco Nation by order of the Governor of Texas schools are to remain closed until March 4th. Therefore, we will continue with on-line educational plan that we currently have in place. This also means that any school activity during this time will be cancelled. We follow this order because of our dedication to eliminating this COVID-19 health crisis. Make no mistake Meadow ISD faculty and staff want to work with kids. We have dedicated our livelihoods to serving the students in Region 17. I can’t express enough how much we miss our students and can’t wait to see them again. Unfortunately, this is not possible. Our Football Stadium Lights will continue to be turn on nightly as a symbol of dedication to our students. To all our students and parents “We Miss You and Want Each of You to Be Safe and Healthy. God Bless Darrian Dover

Bronco Nation, Tonight you will see our stadium light on representing our tribute to our students that we are not able to see on a daily basis. Please stay safe and I will send out updates as things happen. Proud to be a Bronco!

COVID-19 Update Bronco Nation, I hope things are going as well as possible under the circumstances. The news that broke yesterday about one of our employees having a positive test caught us all by surprise. To my knowledge we don’t have any other employees or students that are showing symptoms of having COVID-19. If that status changes with any students or staff please contact me immediately so we can take appropriate action. Many things are changing hourly with more and more data coming in from around the state. We will do our best to keep you up to date with messages and possibly video links. In the meantime, I would like to give an updated timetable on prep for instruction and delivery of instruction. Currently there is a tremendous amount of planning going on behind the scenes The meal curbside service will begin again Monday, March 30 Campus principals will be coordinating with families in need of devices and personal items from campus starting on March 30 Lesson prep will begin next week once teachers are able to get materials from their rooms Our on-line platforms should be operational by the end of next week but will truly get started on April 6 For those that need school devices we are planning for one per household at this point I realize all of you may have questions and concerns. To ease your minds please just give me a call and I will share everything I can. (My cell number is 254-631-2025) Please hang in there and take care of our kids. We will be constantly sending updates as things change. Even through this situation it is always Great To Be A Bronco!

Good afternoon Bronco nation, Here is a link to a video update from Tabitha Coffman. https://youtu.be/Cike_OaKAmk Elementary parents, here is a link to daily activities to engage your child at home. The activities work on any device or computer! Thank you for all your support! https://www.smore.com/vd4u9

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PARENTS AND STAFF: Meadow ISD administration was informed this morning, March 23rd, that one of its employees has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Although the employee has not been physically present on school grounds since Friday, March 13th, I have determined to close all activity at the school for the next seven days for the safety of our employees and students. This time will allow for anyone exposed to the virus to determine whether they are symptomatic and to seek the advice and care of their healthcare professionals. Consequently, unless directed otherwise by the superintendent of schools, no staff, students, or parents should come to the school for any reason until Monday, March 30, 2020. The District has contacted local health officials regarding this confirmed test, and they advise Due to the small size of our campus, everyone on school grounds during the week of March 9th should monitor themselves and their family members for symptoms of the virus and consider self-quarantine. More information regarding how the COVID-19 virus spreads and its symptoms may be found on the CDC’s website located at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/index.html. The District is currently assessing the revised timetable for instructing its staff in distance learning techniques and for the delivery of remote instruction. At a minimum, teacher training, student remote instruction, and meal services will be postponed for one week. The superintendent will communicate with parents and staff through the District’s Thrillshare App and the District’s website should this period need to be extended and to provide ongoing information as it becomes available. Please make it part of your routine to check the website and the App frequently for additional information.
