As we head into the new school year, National Immunization Awareness Month offers a helpful reminder to make sure your child's health records are in order.
We encourage families to speak with their healthcare provider about any questions they may have regarding immunizations. Please reach out to your child's school office if you have questions.

Meet MVR-III alum Allen Tindall, Class of 2004. 🎓
Allen works in the insurance industry and is proud to call his wife and their three children his greatest accomplishments. He credits the teachers at MVR-III with doing more than teaching academic subjects, but also teaching how to learn beyond school.
One of Allen's favorite memories is from his time at Zitzman Elementary, when students were waiting for the bus. After learning there was no bus driver available, Randy George went to the bus lot, picked up a bus himself, and drove the students. It's a moment that has stayed with Allen and reflects the care and commitment of MVR-III staff.
Allen's advice for current students: Focus on learning HOW to learn, not just memorizing the material. That skill will take you much further than any single subject.
