Dear Students and Families,

As the rest of our 5th graders prepare for their upcoming trip to JA BizTown, we want to remind students and families about the importance of continuing to follow our MVIS behavioral expectations while off campus. Students are representing our school community, and we expect them to show CHARGE values by being respectful, listening to adult directions, staying on task, and making responsible choices throughout the trip. We know they will make us proud!

We have also had a number of colds going around the building, so please help us keep everyone healthy. If your child is sick, please keep them home to rest and recover. Helpful prevention steps include frequent handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, avoiding sharing drinks or food, getting plenty of sleep, and staying hydrated. Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy and ready to learn!

Sincerely,

Ms. Ashley Gustin 

Principal

We frequently update Facebook with student learning activities, projects and other things happening in the building. Give MVIS a quick follow to see the daily activitivies.

Students of the Week are recognized for demonstrating growth, effort, or a positive action during the week. We love celebrating these moments with our students! Great job, Marauders!
