News & Updates
MREC Cardinal Families -
By now, your Cardinals should start learning their morning and afternoon routines, and you will hear them talk about all of the amazing things they are learning at school. Routines and procedures are very important at MREC because they keep our students and staff safe, and they maximize our learning time. Please be sure that you are following all procedures for the school. There are a few reminders below:
Carpool and Walker Drop Off Times --- Open - 7:10 am - Close - 7:30 am
School Instruction Begns --- 7:30 am (We leave the cafeteria at 7:30 to start our day). Your child is LATE if they arrive after 7:30 am.
Carpool/Walker CLOSES at 7:30 am. If you arrive after 7:30 am, please pull around and walk your child into the MREC front office (3233 Fannin Drive).
Also, please be sure to LABEL your student's personal items (lunch box, back pack, jacket, water bottle, extra change of clothes, nap map, etc.) with your child's name and teacher name. If a teacher labels your child's items, please DO NOT remove the label.
Your child needs to wear weather appropriate clothing each day. Checking the weather and picking out clothes is a fun way to teach your child about the weather and how to dress for each season. Be sure to change out the extra clothes in your child's backpack with weather appropriate clothing.
Potty training is NOT offered through MREC. Your child is expected to be able to change their clothes and clean themselves independently, in the event of an accident. Please include a change of clothes in your child's backpack - INCLUDING an extra pair of shoes and socks.
With Cardinal Pride,
Julie Nally
MREC Principal
