Spring Break is just around the corner. Keep reading with your children, practicing math facts and send them to school everyday! We need them to be in class, WITH a charged iPad, focused and ready to learn! We know our students are doing amazing things!

If you are bringing your child to school, PLEASE drop them off in the back between 8:20-8:40am. Our staff is having difficulty getting into the parking lot because so many vehicles come early and sit in the loop. This is not a parking loop.

The door is locked at 8:40am. If you are late, you will need to sign your child in at the front office.

Please do not come and sit in the back parking lot waiting for dismissal. This is not a parking loop. The parking lot is closed to non-staff until 2:50pm. Please do not line up until that time or later. Hint....if you come to pick-up between 3:30-3:35, the line is moving and you probably won't have to wait very long.

Wednesday, 3/18 - No School for Students

Thursday, 3/19 - E Day

Go REDHAWKS!

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!

Don't forget to submit your child's absence note.
