🥓 Breakfast and Lunch Information 🍕
🔅Summer Meal Program
MVR-III has once again been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to offer free breakfast and lunch throughout the summer months. This wonderful opportunity is available to all children in our community who are 18 years of age or younger, as well as all students enrolled in our summer school programs and the School Age Child Care (SACC) program.
🚨New City Ordinance
The City of Pacific has notified the district of a new traffic ordinance that will impact arrival and dismissal routines. Any left turns from South Indian Pride Drive onto Payne Street are prohibited during the following peak hours:
Morning: 7:00am to 8:30am
Afternoon: 2:30pm to 4:00pm
This change impacts those visiting or working at the Pacific Intermediate, Zitzman Elementary, and Doris Hoffman Early Childhood campuses.
We encourage all families and staff to plan for potential delays, allow extra time for your commute, and consider alternate routes to ensure safe travel for our school community.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to the safety of our students and staff.

Back To School Bash - August 1st
The MVR-III Bridge Foundation's annual Back-to-School Bash is a wonderful opportunity for families to receive backpacks, school supplies, hygiene items, shoes, and additional community resources while supplies last.

ESY Bus Information
Bus Route Information
MVR-III uses the BusRight Parent App to communicate bus routes and times with parents. BusRight is a FREE parent app to allow parents to, in real-time, follow their child’s bus route to and from school, receive notifications when the bus begins and ends its route, view the expected arrival time at your child’s designated bus stop, and receive communication from the Transportation Department.
To access BusRight, please follow these simple steps:
Download the App: Download the BusRight app from your mobile device's app store.
Create an Account: Use your Infinite Campus email address to create a login.
Track Your Student: Begin tracking your child's bus routes immediately.
If you have issues creating your account, you will need to verify with your school building office that you are listed as the primary guardian in Infinite Campus. Find out more on BusRight on the District website under Transportation.
📱 Communication
Our goals as a community will be obtained with strong partnerships between the home and school. Please check out our website, download the free MVR3 App, and like us on Facebook.
Our Doris Hoffman parent newsletter, called The Hoffman Highlights, will be sent out on Monday each week through June and July.
🔚 Final Note...
As we approach the final week of June, it is hard to believe how quickly summer is moving by. Our halls, classrooms, and playgrounds have been filled with laughter, learning, creativity, and countless moments that have made this summer special.\
For some of our students, we are nearing the conclusion of their summer program. We are grateful for the opportunity to have spent part of their summer learning and growing together. Thank you for sharing your children with us and for allowing us to be part of their journey. We wish them a wonderful remainder of their summer and look forward to seeing many of them again in the fall.
For many of our tuition families, the summer fun will continue throughout July, and we are excited for the adventures still ahead. We have enjoyed watching students build friendships, explore new activities, and create lasting memories, and we look forward to making even more in the weeks to come.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Whether your summer program is coming to an end or continuing into July, we appreciate the trust you place in us each day. As always, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are grateful to be part of your child's story.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Amy Huson
