Volunteers are helpful on Picture Day
We are looking for a few parent volunteers to be on hand during picture day to assist with class lines, helping students be ready and just being an extra set of hands. If you are interested, please sign up below. Please note, you must have an active CORI on file with the school to volunteer. Thank you!
All things Attendance
Reporting Absent or Tardy
To report a student absent or tardy, please send one email and include both the teacher and MREattendance@nrsd.net.
Daily Dismissal Form
If you have not already done so, please complete the daily dismissal form so that the office, classroom teacher and dismissal staff all have access to the REGULAR daily dismissal plan. This is the plan we will all follow unless we receive a Change of Dismissal submission.
Change of Dismissal Plans?
To facilitate a seamless adjustment to the day's dismissal plan, please complete the form below. Kindly submit any changes by 12:00 PM to allow us sufficient time to review and update the dismissal roster for our staff.
*Extended Learning families should still contact the Extended Learning team to notify them directly of change in plans, as well.
School Transportation
Buses
Dee Bus Co. is our dedicated bus transportation provider. For any questions or concerns regarding your child's bus stop, please contact Dee Bus Co. directly via email at nkelly@deebus.com.
Students will ride the bus to and from their registered home address only.
Parent Pick-up & Drop-Off
A summary of the most important information related to these procedures is listed below.
Student Arrival (Drop Off)
No early drop off will be permitted - drop off begins at 8:25 AM.
Parent drop off for arrival will occur in the usual location at the front of the building.
Parents are expected to pull their cars up as far as they can along the sidewalk in the drop off area to allow for as many as 8 cars in the area at one time
Students will exit their cars independently and proceed onto the sidewalk and into the building. Parents should remain in their car. Any parent needing to step out of the car to assist their children should plan to park on the basketball court or in a parking space in front of the school and walk their child to the front of the building.
Parents will then exit by making a left at the end of the peninsula and through the parking lot just as they have done in the past, waiting for the cars in front of you to depart first.
As you drive around the back of the building, please be aware some middle school classes might be transitioning and utilizing outdoor space and we ask you to proceed cautiously.
Student Dismissal (Pick up)
Parents should not arrive to pick up students before 2:50. This will prevent interference with LBMS pick up procedures
Parent Pick-Up Students will gather in the gym.
Students will be dismissed from the gymnasium through the exterior door near the kindergarten playground.
As you loop around the school, please pull up as far as you are able.
If possible, please place a sign on your dashboard with your family name.
Staff will be on hand to assist you and call via walkie-talkie for your children.
The picture below shows the route around the building to drive. The blue line indicates where morning drop off will occur. The afternoon pick up will be at the end of the red line on the side of the building.
