Braves Bulletin

Please continue to fundraise this weekend, as it ends on Monday, October 26th and forms are due! The online store closes Wednesday, October 28th. Our goal is to raise funds to support classroom needs and special school events throughout the year. Every bit of support makes a difference and helps us provide our Robertsville Braves with meaningful learning experiences and fun opportunities! Thank you for supporting our Robertsville Braves! 💜

Halloween Expectations and Guidelines to follow for Friday, October 30th.

All students are welcome to wear or bring their costume on Friday, October 30th.

We plan to do a school wide parade outside around the track to show case our holiday spirit at 1:00. Parents/guardians are welcome to attend and stand around or inside the track!

There are two options when thinking about your student and their costume on 10/30.

1. Your student can wear their costume to school. This option would mean they are able to use the restroom on their own, without any zipper or assistance, when needing to go. They are still able to learn and complete work as needed in their costume.

2. Your student can bring their costume. If your student brings their costume, there will be time dedicated before the school parade for them to change into. This option would only be doable if your student is able to dress themselves into their own costume independently.

General MVR3 Guidelines to be aware of and follow:

-No weapon or toys/accessories

-No face paint

-Masks will only be permitted during the parade.

After the parade, students will participate in station activities to celebrate the end of Trimester 1. If you would like to stay and participate with your child in station activities please click the link to sign up for a visitor's pass.

We will be honoring our Veterans and active service personnel on Wednesday, November 11th. If you have a Veteran or active service person in your family, and would like to attend the event, please complete the Google Form by Friday November 6th or contact the office at 636-271-1448.

Volunteering helps create a positive community, makes school better, and increases student achievement.

If you plan to volunteer or attend field trips you will first need to complete the background check process. Two background checks are now required, and the process takes up to 10 days to complete.

We suggest families plan ahead and complete the process prior to the start of the school year. Volunteers should review the links below. Please contact the school office if you have any questions.

At Meramec Valley R-III School District, we remain committed to ensuring every student has access to healthy, nutritious meals that support their learning and success in the classroom. While we have been proud to provide free breakfast over the last two years, it has been funded at a shortfall, and the district has been making up the difference to cover the cost. As a result, the district will no longer be able to provide free breakfast to all students.

To help families navigate these changes, we highly encourage everyone to complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. Eligibility guidelines change from year to year, and many families who may not have qualified in the past find that they do now. This application will be available at Open House. Approved applications not only assist your family with meal costs but also ensure our schools continue to receive other vital funding.

Money for your child's meal account can be deposited online or brought to school in an envelope with the student's name and grade.

If you have any immediate questions regarding free or reduced lunch applications, please reach out to Michelle Dawson at (636) 271-1428 or email Michelle at mdawson@mvr3.k12.mo.us.
