  • Message to MISD Students

    Congratulations are in order as you finish up your Spring semester, under very trying circumstances. The Merkel ISD community has been praying for you and cheering for you in these uncertain times. We will continue to do so, knowing that continuing your education or transitioning to the workforce amidst such uncertainty is a courageous decision. As the Spring semester is wrapping up and plans for Summer are well underway, many of you are wondering about the Fall semester. It is our intention that we will return to normal operations in the Fall. However, we will continue to monitor local, state, and federal health guidelines. While we have full expectations of returning to normal operations in the Fall, we are also making every effort to look at all of the "what if" scenarios and make the decisions that continue to ensure that we provide you a high-quality education in a safe and welcoming environment. As we consider these "what if's," we want you to know that the MISD leadership will take all necessary steps to ensure your health and safety AND to provide you with the education you have come to expect from Merkel Schools. In addition, we recognize that times are difficult, and you and your family might be experiencing unanticipated challenges; please reach out to us and let us know what we can do to ensure you have everything you need. In the meantime, our instructional staff and instructional tech staff are ready to assist you with whatever needs and questions you may have. While not here physically, all of our operations are running, and you can reach people by phone, email, and parentsquare as usual. If this pandemic has taught us one thing, it is that Merkel ISD is extremely resilient, and we know failure is never an option. It's a Great Day to be a Merkel Badger!
