Welcome Back to School!
Greetings MXR Family!
Happy New Year and Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! What an exciting time of year it is! I can’t tell how great is feels to have the school building filled with smiling faces once again! We are off to a smooth start and the students and staff alike are well on their way to what I am convinced will be our #BestYearYet!
We wrapped up the first week of school with our House Pep Rally which is a great way to set the stage for student success; ensuring a positive and uplifting school culture. We expressed to the students how important it is to encourage and love one another; to be “Essential” and demonstrate leadership characteristics in all that we do each day. We shared with them that although we are four Houses, we are ALL one family! If you are interested in learning more about The Essential 55, I encourage you to check out Ron Clark’s Essential 55 Workbook which is full of easy-to-do lessons to help you reinforce The Essential 55 rules that every child should know.
We look forward to partnering with you and building strong relations that will ensure student success! We have many opportunities planned for us to share together in the growth and development of your children, our students!
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions or concerns that may arise throughout the school year! My commitment to you will always be what is best for kids!
WIth love & appreciation,
Mrs. A

Transportation
We promote independence at MXR and encourage students to learn how they are supposed to go home each day. If your student's mode of transportation is changing (For example if they are changing from bus to car or car to bus) our office needs to be made aware of that change. All notes should go to the teacher so they are aware and then we make a copy in the front office to file.
*All transportation changes need to be made by 2 P.M. on the day it is needed*
