Merriam Celebration 🥳
Thank you to all who attended the Merriam Celebration on Saturday.   I have heard so much positive feedback from attendees, and it truly was a wonderful event. It was incredibly meaningful to see current and former students, families, staff, and community members come together to celebrate what makes Merriam such a special place.  Thank you to our amazing PTO and staff on the Honoring Merriam Committee for making this event possible. Please enjoy this Merriam Celebration Slideshow with photos from across the years.

Coming up this week at Merriam

The Topics Fair will be this Wednesday, June 10th from 9:30 - 11:30a, in the Library.  Come check out this impressive event showcasing all the amazing Topics Project work completed by 6th graders this year. Any and all family members are welcome to attend.

Moving or Leaving?
If you are planning on moving, or your child won't be attending school in the district next year, please call Kathleen or email the main office at merriam_main_office@abschools.org to let her know your plans. This information is essential as the district is balancing classrooms across the district. Kathleen can also walk you thorough the withdrawal process. Thank you for your assistance.


Early Release Days in May and June

Please note that the School Committee voted three special early release days in May and June.   We also have an early release day on the last day of school. On early release days, dismissal is at 12:50 and lunch will be provided at school. 

  • For Friday, May 22, Monday, June 22, and Tuesday, June 23, children who are normally scheduled to attend Extended Day on those days of the week can go to Extended Day when school is over, and stay up until 6:00pm.
  • Thurs, June 25th is the last day of school. Children who are normally scheduled to attend Extended Day on Thursdays can go to Extended Day, however, please note that Extended Day will close at 3:00pm on the last day.

Please plan accordingly, and if changes apply to your family, please make sure to update your Pick Up Patrol Dismissal plans for these four early release days.  Thank you!
