Congratulations to Bristol McKinney for winning 3rd place at the JAG middle school show case for Prepared Speaking. We are so excited for her as she competed against 7th and 8th grade students.
Congratulations and thank you to this week's difference makers.
Thank you to all voters who participated in the April 7 election and took the time to consider Prop S.
On Tuesday, the unofficial results for Prop S, the proposed no tax rate change bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District, showed 56.5% voter approval, falling short of the 57.14% required for passage by 22 votes.
This outcome means we will not be moving forward at this time with plans to construct a new middle school or address the identified facility needs across our schools, including important safety and security upgrades.
The Board of Education and administration remain committed to exploring options to address the district’s facility needs. We will continue engaging with community members and staff as we determine next steps and evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your continued support of our students, staff, and schools.

Our 6th grade Pacific Intermediate students in the Magic of Electrons course, part of our Project Lead the Way program, are building impressive skills in the classroom! 👏
From mastering tool safety to learning the precision of soldering, students are gaining experience with the fundamentals of simple machines.
The ultimate goal is to solder their own circuit boards to create a light-sensing night light!💡

Along the way, they are developing key research skills:
➡️ Writing clear bullet points to keep notes short and focused
➡️ Paraphrasing ideas in their own words instead of copying text
➡️ Tracking sources so credit is given where it is due

Pacific Intermediate 5th grade scientists are preparing to launch a solar-powered rover, but first, they must answer a critical mission question: where should it go? 🪐
Students have been exploring the Inverse Square Law and discovering that as their rover travels farther from the Sun, sunlight becomes much dimmer and spreads out quickly.
Using flashlights and light meters, students are mapping out the “solar sweet spot” that could power their rover and help make the mission a success! ✅

There is some “ribbit-ing” research happening in Mr. Elbert’s English class at Pacific Intermediate as students explore the life cycle of a frog while developing their informative writing skills. 🐸
Writing a strong essay is a process, and students are building the foundation step by step:
✅ Jotting down key facts from their research
✅ Transforming notes into organized outlines that help structure their ideas
✅ Practicing handwriting and letter sounds to make sure their message is clear
It is great to see our students strengthening their writing skills while learning about the natural world!
