Welcome Back!!

Posted: September 8, 2015

  Welcome Back!  We are about to embark on another year of learning, adventures and memories.  We, the staff of M.R.S. are full of excitement and anticipation for the return of our students and we look forward to seeing you, the parents, grandparents, guardians, etc.   Today, you will be overwhelmed with notes and forms to be completed.  Thank you for your cooperation in filling these out in their entirety and returning them by the due dates given.  This information is important in updating our files.  I will also ask that you carefully review the information found in the handbook that has been sent home with our K-3 students.  This information can be found at the front of student agenda’s for students in grades 4-8.  By reviewing and understanding the information presented in this document, it will eliminate future inconveniences, for example, with regards to bussing.  The updated handbook will also be available on our school website.  This year, we are pleased to announce that M.R.S. will be adopting a “study block” that aligns with the middle school philosophy.  As a means to increase instructional minutes, all students in grades 6-8 will return to their homeroom class at 11:55 (after they have eaten) for study block.  This time will be used to complete homework, projects, assignments, and receive extra instruction in any subject area.  Study block will take place Monday to Thursday.   We hope that the transition back to school goes smoothly for everyone and look forward to seeing you all real soon!  Sincerely,  Miss Z.
