As we have warmer weather it is good to review the appropriate “dress for school” from our Parent Handbook. Shorts may be worn but need to be at a Bermuda type length, no short-shorts. Flip Flops shoes are allowed, but tennis shoes need to be brought to school to wear at recess and for PE.  (We must enforce this for safety reasons). Tops should cover the tummy and back and tank tops need to have secure straps. Please no shoes with wheels. Clothing needs to be functional and allow students to participate in rigorous play activities.

Thank you to the Central Point Florist who donated a dollar from each purchase of flowers for our Father/Daughter Dance. Your generosity is much appreciated.

Thank you also to Scrappy Craft Fine Art Supplies for donating paper and supplies to enhance our art projects. We appreciate the generous gesture!

The third annual District #6 Elementary Track Challenge will take place on Saturday, June 5th at Crater High School. You should receive an informational flier and an events checklist.

FYI Kindergarten Roundup is May 20 @ 6 pm here at MRE

Spring is here and it is time to start thinking about plans for the 2010-11 school year. April is the month when we accept requests from parents for placement of their child for the next school year.  Class placement for our students is one of the most important educational decisions that we make. Therefore we put a lot of thought and experience into our decisions.
We do consider your requests as a part of our decision-making, but please understand our final placement decisions are made based on your child’s past academic and behavioral performance and the goals that your child’s present teacher has set for them. (Please be aware that this year with the budget unknowns, it may be necessary to limit the class choices for next year). Our placement meetings begin in May, so April is the time frame to make your requests. The request for a certain teacher must be in writing and state educational reasons. Please have your written requests delivered to the MRE office.

May is Marble Season here at MRE and we take our marble playing very seriously! Students are allowed to bring their marbles to school beginning May 4. Please assist your child in getting the marbles secured in a container to prevent spillage on the bus or in the classroom.

Plans are underway for the MRE Science Fair scheduled for Thursday, May 6 @ 6:00-7:00 pm in the MRE gym. On April 2 students can begin picking up their Science Fair entry forms in the office. Upon completion of the form and parent and teacher signatures, the forms can be turned back into the office where the student will receive a packet of information about the Fair and what requirements there are for their entries. On the day of the Fair, students will be able to bring their entries from home to put on display in the gym. All are welcome to come Thursday, May 6 @ 6:00 pm to view the great experiments, models, collections, inventions, recycling projects and technology displays. See you at the Science Fair!

The 2 for 1 Book Fair will be held in the MRE library from April 21-27. The hours will be 7:30am – 4:00 pm each day except Thursday, April 22 when the Fair will be open 7:30 am -8:00 pm. As the school library receives no profit from the “2 for 1″ sale, savings are passed on to you and your children. So, come and shop!
