Parents walking or parking to Pick Up

Please stand within the red area. This will allow safety for children who need to use the sidewalk to walk home or head to the car loop. This also allows for safety for our students heading to the Boys and Girls Club.

Car Loop

Please drive past the yellow X before stopping. This allows us to load more students at once and speeds up the process. For the safety of our students, we will not load students passed the yellow circle. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Meet our Community School Liaison

Hi! My name is Melanie Morales and I am the new Community Schools Liaison here at Merdian Elementary School. I have been a part of the West Ada community for about 5 years and I'm so excited to now be a part of the Meridian Elementary family!

As a Community School Liaison, I work closely with our school counselor, and our social worker, to help connect our families to much needed resources, information, and assistance that will in turn allow our students to have the best opportunity at reaching their educational success goals.

I am so passionate about making sure each of our kids gets the same opportunity at success and I am grateful to be able to help support that in any way possible. I'm so excited for this new change for Meridian Elementary, and our community, and to get to know all of you!
