Changing Weather & Recess

Coats, gloves, hats, scarves, long pants, layers, closed toed shoes are all highly encouraged during the late fall/winter months.
Become a Volunteer!
We would love to have you support our teachers and staff by volunteering at MRES! If you would like to become a volunteer in the classroom, field trips, PTA, parties, or Watch D.O.G Dad's we need you to complete the online application and background check. This needs to be done yearly. There is a $5 fee for the background check. Also, please make sure you fill out the forms COMPLETELY or they will be in a holding pattern and stay there until complete.
The submission process does take a few days, so I recommend doing this early and not the day before you are planning to volunteer. Please click the link below.

Health Information
If your student has a rescue medication (inhalers, epi-pens) they can be sent in along with their orders/action plans in a plastic bag labeled for the health room when you drop off your child's school supplies. Our Health Room staff will be available for medication drop off for students needing controlled, daily medication to be kept/given at school. A physician's note must accompany all medication students may/will need at school. That form is linked here.
More information can be found here - D49 Nursing Services.
Birthday Celebrations
We love to celebrate student birthdays! Teachers will celebrate students in classrooms, and parents are welcome to send in non-food items (preferred) or healthy prepackaged food (individually wrapped is helpful) and follows D49 Wellness Guidelines. Please talk to your child’s teacher in advance to let the teacher know what you plan to send in or drop off.
We have been recognized for our Health and Wellness efforts by the state of Colorado. Part of those efforts are aligning our practices to our district wellness policy and ensuring that we maintain a healthy school environment for students and staff. For more information go to Meridian Ranch Elementary School Wellness.
Another way to Celebrate!
MRES PTA would like to start a new program to celebrate student birthdays! To celebrate your student's birthday, we encourage donating a book to the MRES school library in their honor! The book could be a new copy of one of their favorites, a very gently used book that they've enjoyed, or a book from the library's wish list on Amazon.
Amazon wish list link: https://a.co/2Obnif6
Have your child bring their donation book to Mrs. Stanfield in the library. The book will get a "donated by" sticker with your student's name, and they'll get a shout out soon after on the morning announcements!

Federal regulations play a direct role in setting the price of school meals and D49 is required to match government meal reimbursement rates by charging for meals. Updating our rates this year is a difficult, but necessary adjustment to continue providing meals in our challenging economy.
