  • MERKEL ISD INCLEMENT WEATHER PROCEDURES

    As we approach winter weather season, Merkel ISD wants to remind everyone about our inclement weather procedures.  Anytime bad weather is predicted, administrators will monitor weather forecasts and conditions leading up to the weather event.  Decisions about school delays and/or closures will be made prior to 6:00 a.m. when possible. The district will make every effort to make these decisions as soon as possible.  If we delay school and conditions and/or forecasts worsen to the point of needing to close the schools, we will make that decision prior to 8:00 a.m. or sooner if possible.  Delays and/or closures will be communicated via ParentSquare, Facebook, and Twitter (first), followed by Abilene television stations KTAB, KRBC, and KTXS. Our weather in this area is very unpredictable. District administrators will do our very best to make these decisions based on the conditions and forecasts we have at the time.

  • MISD Terminates Remote Learning

    Today at a called meeting of the MISD Board of Trustees, the Board passed a resolution to terminate remote learning effective at the end of the school day on October 16, 2020 . All students will return to their designated campuses for in-person instruction no later than Monday, October 19, 2020 . A link to the resolution can be found here:  REMOTE LEARNING RESOLUTION Virtual instruction will remain available for a student who is the subject of a quarantine order issued by a governmental entity or on the recommendation of a healthcare provider. A Remote Learning Committee will also consider, on a case-by-case basis, virtual instruction for students who provide documented evidence of immunocompromised health or other extenuating circumstances. If your student falls into one of these categories, please contact the campus principal. Merkel ISD remains fully committed to the health and safety protocols as outlined in the school district’s Start Strong plan that was implemented at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. All employees and students are expected to continue to follow those guidelines to ensure that all campuses of Merkel ISD remain as healthy as possible. We look forward to seeing all our students continue to grow and develop, both in mind and spirit, as we embrace with solidarity the challenges before us. If you have any questions, please contact your student’s campus principal.
