Monday, Aug. 21st is the first day of school for all students. Please drive slow, watch for school buses, and be patient as new parents learn pick-up and drop-off procedures.


An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect until Thursday. During a heat warning, afternoon recesses will be held indoors, after-school activities will either be moved indoors or at different times, and water will be available for students riding the bus. Students are also encouraged to bring water bottles to fill up throughout the day. We look forward to seeing all of our students and staff tomorrow for the first day of the 2023-24 school year!

It’s MV Nation’s tradition to showcase our school & community spirit on Fridays. This year we will kick off Purple Fridays on August 25th. The district has 2 spirit wear stores for the community to use to shop, the Pacific Indians Store and the MVR-III Merch Store. Both stores may be found at MVR3.K12.MO.US. throughout the year. Let’s go Indians!


MVR-III welcomed 30 new teachers to the district this week. Help us give a big #MVNation welcome to our new teachers!

MVR-III has not had an increase to the Operating Levy since 2004. To be fiscally responsible, the District has worked collaboratively with staff to identify over $1 million dollars in savings to support a reduced budget for the 23-24 school year. Vote Tues., Aug. 8th. #MVNation


How will Prop E impact MVR-III?
DISTRICT GOAL: All MVR-III students will learn in an environment that is collaborative, engaging, inclusive, innovative, and conducive to learning.
*Highly qualified MVR-III staff are needed in order to engage, support, and provide a quality learning environment for our students. The District has been unable to fill critical teaching and support positions throughout the district such as: Special Education Teachers, Speech Language Pathologist, Counselors, Custodians, and Paraprofessionals.
*Increased operating funds are needed to maintain current student programs and activities, due to the rising costs of staff salaries, benefits, and student learning supplies.
Vote Tuesday, August 8th. #MVNation


The passage of Prop E will allow MVR-III to: 1. Engage students in high quality learning, activities, and programs. 2. Attract and retain highly qualified staff and essential workers. Vote Tuesday, August 8th. #MVNation
