Ensuring all students have the technology and internet access they need to engage in online learning is an enormous challenge for school districts, especially those in rural areas with limited technology availability.
Starting Saturday, April 18th, the MVR-III School District is offering free WiFi availability to students from the parking lots of Pacific High School and Coleman Elementary (lower parking lot). To access the WiFi, search MVR-3 Guest. We expect to have additional sites available by April 27th.
While on campus, please adhere to the CDC’s guidelines of social distancing:
*Stay at least 6 feet from other people
*Do not gather in groups
*Stay near your vehicle
*If you are sick or suspect you are infected with the COVID-19, please avoid using our campuses

MVR-III reminders for Monday, March 23rd. We're here to support our students and families.
Good evening! Today, following a meeting with Franklin County school leaders, the health department, and county leaders, all Franklin County superintendents are collectively announcing an extended school closure. Since Meramec Valley is on spring break this week, the closure will begin on Monday, March 23, and will preliminarily end Friday, April 3.
During this time, all school activities, including athletic and extracurricular practices and competitions, will be canceled for the duration of the school closure. A link to the full press is provided here https://www.mvr3.k12.mo.us/article/212021?org=mvriii
I know you will have many questions related to learning during the time of closure. District leaders will be meeting over the next few days to finalize those plans. Additional information will be sent to parents no later than Thursday of this week. It will provide details regarding learning experiences, meal availability, and general practices to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
We know that closing our schools will have a significant impact on our families, but we also believe that strong, urgent action must be taken to prevent the spread of this disease and to protect lives. We thank our community for their support and partnership in this effort. Again, your patience and understanding are appreciated.
John Mulford, Ed.D. Superintendent
Meramec Valley R-III School District
