As we continue through the month of May, we are celebrating the incredible growth our Little Indians have made this year. This time of year gives us a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the many ways children have grown academically, socially, emotionally, and developmentally.

In early childhood, learning happens through play, exploration, relationships, and everyday experiences. We continue to see children building confidence, solving problems, asking questions, and becoming more independent each day. These moments of growth are a reflection

of the strong partnership between school and home.

As we finish the school year strong, thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership in helping our students grow into confident and capable learners.

💜 Rooted in Heart, Driven by Purpose

Are you interested in joining our PTO? Our next meeting will be in August. Kellie Cowsert has created a Group Me and is adding members as they sign up. Please download the Group Me App to to receive messages about future details and other information.

As we continue focusing on learning this month, our Little Indians are showing so much growth in confidence, curiosity, and independence. Learning in early childhood happens through everyday experiences — asking questions, exploring new ideas, solving problems, and continuing to try even when something feels challenging.

We are so proud of the way our students are building confidence in themselves as learners and celebrating their progress along the way. These moments help children develop perseverance, resilience, and excitement about learning new things.

You can continue supporting learning at home by:
⭐ Encouraging your child to try new things independently
📚 Reading and talking together each day
🗣️ Asking your child questions about what they learned or explored
🎨 Providing opportunities for creativity, play, and problem-solving

Thank you for partnering with us as we continue helping our Little Indians grow into confident and joyful learners. 💜

The Meramec Valley R-III School District is proud to launch our Continuous School Improvement Plan, building on our tradition of excellence while looking ahead to a future where every student thrives in our schools!

Our work is guided by four key pillars that drive an incredible educational experience for all students:

⭐ Academic Excellence

⭐ Family and Community Engagement

⭐ Positive Culture

⭐ Attendance

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:

1. Download the App: Download the BusRight app from your mobile device's app store.

2. Create an Account: Use your Infinite Campus email address to create a login.

3. 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.

SACC is our before and after school care program.

If your child needs morning childcare before 8:15 am, contact the school office at 636-271-1464

or visit the School Age Child Care Program website to register.

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.
