Mr. Ripp's Report
Hello Mesa Verde Families,
If you made it out to the Halloween Parade, I want to thank you. We cut it pretty close there with storm, but we got it done just in time. I appreciate how great a turnout we had and the kids really enjoyed showing off their costumes. We hope to see some of you out at the Color Run this Friday. Please check the PTO's flyer for the Color Run schedule.
Next Tuesday, we are also hosting a Veteran's Day Breakfast! You should have received an invitation from the school to let us know if there is a Veteran in your family who will be attending. We can't wait to honor our heroes!
There is NO SCHOOL on November 11 for Veteran's Day.
Regular attendance and arriving at school on time each day make a big difference in your child’s success! Being at school every day helps students stay on track with learning, build friendships, and be part of our classroom community. Arriving on time also allows students to start their day feeling prepared and ready to learn. Thank you for helping your child make school a priority. Together, we can make every day a great day of learning at Mesa Verde!
Thank you for supporting our school!

Start Your Child Off With The Best Advantage!
Making a commitment to have your child on time to school and attending school EVERYDAY is a significant advantage to give to your child/ren. Let's make this year the BEST one yet for you and your child/ren!
Per State guidelines: In order for absences relating to illness, doctor appointments, bereavement, family emergencies, or district approved family vacation to be counted as excused absences, the school must be notified in advance or at the time of any absence by the parent or other person who has custody of the student per A.R.S. 15-807 (B). Absences cannot be marked excused if parents call after the date of the absence.
