A few reminders about morning arrival:

• Breakfast is available for students beginning at 7:45 in the cafeteria.
• If students are not coming for breakfast, please do not drop students off prior to 8:05am, as there is no adult supervision until that time.
• For car drop-off, please pull all all the way forward in the zone as possible. Through doing this, you help keep traffic moving and prevent backup on the street.

Thank you!

Need a Little Extra Help This Holiday Season?

We know that the winter holiday season can bring added financial pressure for families, and we want you to know that our school community is here to help! Whether your family could use support with gifts, meals, or other essentials, we have resources available. If this could benefit your family, please don’t hesitate to reach out to either our school nurse, Nicole Correnti at correntin@mersd.org or our school adjustment counselor, Colleen Shannon at shannonc@mersd.org. All inquiries are handled with care and confidentiality.

Our book fair was a success, thanks to all of you! Profits helped stock our teachers' classroom libraries!
