Weekly Update
🚨 Urgent Car Rider Information – Don’t Miss This!
Families are encouraged to review our arrival and dismissal routines video. All families need a car rider number that will remain with you throughout your time at Mason Ridge. You can pick one up in the Ramsey Center at Meet the Teacher. Our parking lot opens at 8:45am for arrival and at 3:45pm for dismissal. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER OUR PARKING LOT PRIOR TO 3:45pm. You will know when our lot is open when you see staff members guiding you into our lot. We need to keep our lot accessible for people arriving and leaving our building UNTIL 3:45pm. Fun Fact about our dismissal process - Even if you arrive at 3:55 pm, you will still be leaving our parking lot by 4:10pm each day!

⚡📱 Smart Device Changes You Need to Know
Parkway Schools will be cell-phone free this school year
Earlier this year, Parkway announced stricter cell phone and personal device restrictions for the 2025-2026 school year based on input from teachers and families.
However, a new Missouri law now requires a complete ban on the use of cell phones and personal devices during the school day.
Cell phones and personal technology, including smartwatches, tablets, and laptops, are expected to be turned off and put away all day at all K-12 schools.

⭐ Be a Hero: Volunteer Today!
All Mason Ridge volunteers must complete a background check and online training in order to attend field trips or volunteer for school activities. If you have already been an approved volunteer, you will need to complete the online training portion annually. If you have not started the volunteer application process, please consider applying over the summer so you are all ready to go for the first day of school and ready for volunteer opportunities. This is the link for the volunteer application.
