Each student at PHS took time to reflect on last trimester. What went well? What difficult task did you persevere through? What went Wrong? Lastly, set a goal for 2nd trimester. This could be some great dinner table conversation starters!

The state is providing our district with covid testing kits to be sent HOME with students or sent HOME with staff.

We do not have a standing order to be able to test students or staff onsite, but if you would like a test kit to send home with a student or staff member please see your building nurse.

Reminder of our covid policy if a student or staff member tests positive:

Fever free for 24 hours without the help of over the counter medication fever reducers (Tylenol, Ibuprofen) AND symptoms improving.

There is no masking rule for our district at this time. There is no quarantine for close contacts at this time.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Meramec Valley R-III School District is adding two-way communication and classroom announcements to the district’s mobile app. On September 30th, parents will receive an email and text that will invite them to join their child in Rooms and finish setting up their account.

Why Rooms?

• Parents shared the need for one communication platform for families to use from PreK to high school.

• Rooms simplifies communication by centralizing all updates in the district app.

  • Accessing Rooms requires a simple toggle within the district app.

• Families only need to sign up once, even with multiple children.

  • That single invite will successfully join parents with all their children in Rooms.

  • This is a one time sign up that will match parents with their children’s teachers as they change classes or grades.

• Communicate with K-4 Art/Music/PE, Special Education, and Title teachers through your student’s homeroom.

• Extracurricular/athletic teams will have their own Rooms.

Key Features:

• Messages: Communicate securely. Teachers can initiate group conversations, but guardians can only reply to the teacher. Administrators monitor all communications.

• Stream: Each course has a Stream for sharing class updates, announcements, photos, and assignments.

• Translations: Rooms automatically translates messages based on device language settings, so no need to manually translate communications.

How to Prepare:

• Parents and guardians can download the MVR-III app now.

• Simply search for Meramec Valley R-III on the App Store for iPhones or the Play Store for Android devices.

• Watch the introductory video and read FAQs about Rooms.

“In the past, parents had to juggle different apps like DoJo, Remind, and Band to stay in touch with teachers and coaches. Now, our district app brings everything together in one place—right on your phone. With the Rooms feature, you can have secure conversations and get important updates all within the same app you already use to follow school news and events. Whether you’re a preschool parent or have kids in high school, this app will grow with you throughout your child’s education,” explained Dr. Ketina Armstrong, Assistant Superintendent.

Apptegy, the company that builds and powers the district’s custom app, works with thousands of other school districts across the U.S. to help them provide a cohesive communications experience.

“We want everyone in our school community to download the app and have families use this new set of features to simplify their school communication experience. Best of all, like our website and Infinite Campus app, the mobile app is branded to our school and highlights the incredible moments happening each and every day,” says Dr. Carrie Schwierjohn, Superintendent.
