MVR-III students and staff are stepping up to support families impacted by the flood! From lending a helping hand to offering supplies, our community is stronger together. Proud to see #MVNation coming together in a time of need. ❤️ #Service #Community #MVNation #DifferenceMakers @CharacterPlus @character.org

Our thoughts are with each of you as we navigate the flooding affecting our community. To prioritize the safety of our students and staff, the Meramec Valley R-III School District will be closed on Thursday, November 7th, and Friday, November 8th. During this challenging time, we encourage our staff who are able or willing to volunteer to lend a hand to neighbors, help with sandbagging, or join cleanup efforts once the waters recede. Together, our community will emerge stronger by supporting one another.

Don’t Forget - Set clocks back one hour tonight, and exercise your right to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 5th! #MVNation

📱 In today’s digital world, it’s important to set clear, healthy boundaries around social media use for children. Helping kids manage their time online promotes healthier habits, encourages meaningful connections, and protects their well-being. Here’s why setting boundaries is essential: ✨ Improves Mental Health & Well-Being - Limiting screen time reduces exposure to negative influences, online pressure, and distractions, helping kids stay focused and emotionally balanced. ✨ Promotes Digital Responsibility - Teaching children about appropriate online behavior and privacy helps build a strong foundation for responsible digital citizenship. Let's keep #GrowingTogether, #MVNation!
