Marauder Memo - Sept 8, 2024

During the month of September, we are focusing on our TBRI Life Value Term of “Be Kind”. This week, our intention lies in Staying Calm and Being Present. In stressful moments, staying calm and being present can help your child feel more secure. Taking deep breaths, listening to their concerns, and staying engaged can ease their worries and foster a sense of safety.

We are approaching the mid-point of the quarter. This week is a prime time to review your child's grades and progress with them and set goals for the end of the quarter. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers for ways to support your child academically at home.

Dr. Lori Katz, MVMS Principal

Date: Tuesday, October 29

Is your child interested in including everyone they meet and spreading kindness to all? Do they want to have opportunities to spread joy, promote school spirit, and make our school a great place to be? If so, then you should consider having them apply for Marauder Movement. We are a biweekly meeting club. We meet every other Thursday at 7:50 a.m. 

If your child is interested, please have them fill out the Google Link provided (or you can help them fill it out below). 

If your student will be absent from school please notify us by one of the following methods:

If a student is going to be absent from the school for the day, parents/guardians have the responsibility to notify the attendance secretary by 10:00 am with verification of the absence. Documentation of absences must be received within three days of the absence. An illness of three days or longer will require doctor verification for the entire absence to be excused. When a student is absent for a full or partial day due to a doctor, dental, or another appointment(s) a school excuse note from the provider will be required for the absence to be excused.
