Volunteering Volunteering

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.

MVR-III Volunteer Process
School Volunteer Handbook

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Arrival: Student Drop-Off at 8:05 a.m.

Please refer to the map for a visual guide!

  • Turn onto 3rd Street to access the new parking lot.

  • Drive along the perimeter of the new lot.

  • Drive onto the paved road and follow it to the back of the school.

  • Stop at the gym door. The door will be open and a staff member will be there to greet you and your child.

  • After your student is safely inside, continue on the paved road to exit onto Highway N.


Dismissal: Parent Pick-Up at 3:40 p.m.

The pick-up routine is designed to be as simple as possible.

  • Follow the exact same traffic pattern as morning drop-off.

  • However, the pick-up line will STOP at the end of the gravel lot while you wait for dismissal.

  • Once student dismissal begins, a staff member will release the cars waiting to move around the back of the school for pick-up. Please be patient and follow the direction of our staff to safely pick up your child.


Important Reminders

  • Please do not pull in the school parking lot to drive around to the back. Cars will be coming from the gravel lot and that imposes a safety concern.

  • Please communicate any Dismissal Changes through the main office! We will be using the Kid Account system to update teachers as you call in. This includes SACC dismissal too! Our main office needs to know before 3:00pm each day if there is a change in your child's normal dismissal schedule; whether it be they go to SACC, go home on bus or are a Car Rider.

  • We do understand that emergencies and last-minute plans can happen, so if something comes up after 3:00pm please notify the main office immediately. It gets confusing if you go to the teacher first, so for safety, all dismissal changes and communication should go through the main office.

Transportation Transportation

In our ongoing efforts to establish positive student routines and avoid any confusion or miscommunication regarding transportation, we ask that students follow their regular pick-up/drop-off routine starting on the first day of school. Parents are welcome to meet their student at school, on the first day, after they arrive on the bus and snap a picture outside.

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

At Open House we will have a transportation station set up in the gym for parents to talk to our drivers and learn more about bus times and routes, but more information on BusRight is also included in the picture.

It is the goal of the Meramec Valley R-III School District to provide a safe environment for students. The district recognizes that rules regarding dismissal of students are a necessary part of the district’s safety program. All visitors must enter the school through the office doors. Visitors are required to show their ID to pick up their student(s). Students who are going to be picked up before the end of the school day will be released through the office only.

We will be using Kid Account again this year at all dismissal locations: SACC. each individual bus, and for car riders.


  • Car Riders: We will come to your car window and scan a Kid Account Card- Please make sure anyone that is allowed to pick up your child is on their portal and approved by you. This is a safety feature that helps us accuratley know to whom we are releasing students to if an adult is picking up your child and they are NOT listed on the emergency contact, we will be asking for an ID- to keep the line moving we may ask you to pull out of line until we can confirm ID and contact the child's guardian. If you have people that may need to pick up your child, it works if you take a picure of the card. The line and scanning move quicker with the card ready, which is our main goal.

SACC SACC

If your child needs morning childcare before 8:05 am, contact the Nike SACC office at 636-271-1484 for information about the School Age Child Care Program registration.

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.

Something New This Year Something New This Year

Each trimester, families have the opportunity to participate in Stock the Lounge for the Robertsville Elementary staff. This is a wonderful way to show appreciation by donating snacks and drinks for our staff lounge. Throughout the day, staff members enjoy having a quick snack or beverage to keep them energized as they care for and teach our students.

Participation is completely optional, and there is no expectation that families donate each trimester. Any contribution, big or small, is greatly appreciated!

We will begin collecting items for Trimester 1 at Open House on Wednesday, August 19. Donations may be dropped off in the school office or sent to school with your child to give to their teacher.

Thank you for helping us keep our staff lounge stocked and for supporting the amazing educators and staff who make a difference every day!

Watch Dog's Program Watch Dog's Program

The district is also expanding the Watch D.O.G.S. (dads/guardians of great students) safety program at each K-8 building in the district. If you are interested learning more about this program or volunteering even 1 day a year as a Watch D.O.G.S. in your child’s school.


Watch D.O.G.S. is a national innovative program focusing on the prevention of violence in our children's schools by using the positive influence of fathers and father-figures for two purposes:


1) To provide positive male/adult role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.


2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. WATCH D.O.G.S. are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and any other father-figures who volunteer as a positive presence for at least one whole school day each year at an official WATCH D.O.G.S. school.



Please contact the Robertsville office if you are interested in serving as a WATCH D.O.G.S. at Robertsville Elementary.
