MXR News
FAMJAM is just around the corner!! We hope to see everyone there. We posted the complete brochure, with session descriptions, on FB. We also sent home flyers with session titles. I want to thank First National Bank for sponsoring this event! Also a huge thanks goes to all the presenters and volunteers from the MXR Faculty and Staff, SMS, SHS, and the Central Office. We have a HUGE announcement we will make on Thursday!! We need a great crowd. I think we have a great variety of sessions and there will be something for everyone.
You will notice on the calendar of events, we have changed some dates for the student council elections and campaigns. Check those deadlines closely.
National Elementary Honor Society forms are due tomorrow!
Thanks for your support!! If you need anything, give me a call at (256) 851-4600 or send an e-mail to rorear@madison.k12.al.us.
Thanks and have a great day!!
Mr. O'Rear

MXR Social Media and Other Communication
One of the most effective ways to communicate, and it's usually the quickest is through the Remind App. It's a free app and no one can see your number. You will, however, receive texts informing you of the latest information. To sign up text to: 81010 and type @mxra in the message box. It's that easy!!
You can also go to our district website and sign up on LISTSERV. This is an e-mail service.
One last way we communicate is through the use of SchoolMessenger. You may have received a call last week about the water leak. Please be certain all your contact information is correct.
We hope we have provided a few ways for you to gather information about MXR. If you have any suggestions, please let us know!
