Thank you to all parents who volunteered as a chaperone for our 4th grade Harper's Ferry trip. We appreciate you!
Our students enjoyed exploring Harpers Ferry and we couldn't have done it without you!
PTO

Be sure to follow, get involved, and know what's going on. Would you like to get involved with the PTO? Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 20th at 4:00 pm.
The 3rd and 4th grade Masquerade Dance was a resounding success. Thank you to everyone who helped with the dance before and after! We appreciate your patience during pickup. Safely reunifying over 200 children with their parents is no easy feat.
Thanks to all our parent volunteers for making our dance possible!
Fun for our 3rd & 4th graders!

Volunteer
Come volunteer at MRI! Level 1 volunteers are those individuals who have a completed and approved background check. All chaperones for field trips must be a Level 1.
It is recommended that you consider getting your Level 1 if you plan on volunteering at school in any way. This way it's done and you should be good to go!
Want to volunteer as a mystery reader or help with a class lesson/activity? Communicate with your child's teacher to schedule a time to be here!
Being Present Matters!
Did you send a note yet?
Don't forget to submit your child's absence note.
