MVR-III Parents,

The Meramec Valley R-III School District is actively monitoring weather conditions and developing contingency plans for possible school closures. Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) will be used for each day the District is not in session due to flooding.

AMI means students work at home on assignments while they are away from school. To ensure everyone has equal access to AMI assignments, paper assignments will be sent home with elementary and intermediate students (PreK-6th), and middle school and high school teachers will share assignments in Canvas. Please store the physical assignments in a safe location in your home, as you will need to refer to this packet each time an AMI day is used. ONLY ONE DAY OF MATERIAL needs to be completed for each designated AMI day. Please follow the teacher's directions to complete the learning material. All assignments must be turned in on the next in-session school day when your child returns to class.

Notes:

• AMI days allow the district to count completed assignments as attendance days/hours. Students must complete work and return their completed AMI assignments the day they return to school in order to be marked “present.”

• All AMI assignments are related to previous instruction and are intended to reinforce/review skills and content already taught.

• Your child’s teacher will also be available each AMI day from 9-11am through email, Canvas, or the Rooms App.

• AMI materials will be sent home today, Friday, April 4th.

We understand this is different from what our families are accustomed to, but we also want to provide a resource for reviewing important learning material if school is not in session. If you or your student have questions regarding assignments or need additional support, please contact your child’s teacher or principal.

Sincerely,

MVR-III School District
