Important Reminders & Notes
- Morning Drop-off is between 8:25 and 8:35. Being punctual enables students to kickstart their day positively and in sync with their peers.
- The bus company has recently revised their bus schedules. If your child has not used the bus for their journey home this school year, they are no longer considered regular riders. Please remember to provide the bus company with advance notice if you want to have your child use the bus service. Thank you for your cooperation.
- Don't forget the notes! Remember to send a note to the classroom teacher (and MREattendance@nrsd.net if emailing). While students might be aware of changes, we won't alter their dismissal plan without confirmation from parents. Keep Ext. Learning in the loop as well!
- A consistent dismissal routine ensures seamless coordination among students, teachers, and the office. Handling the dismissal of over 470 students is a substantial responsibility, and structured planning enhances safety and efficiency. Same day changes can be difficult to accommodate and require interruptions to the classroom to communicate.
