Storm Shelter at Zitzman Elementary Open to the Public
Thanks to the passage of Prop 1 in 2021, MVR-III was able to build the Zitzman Elementary storm shelter gymnasium.

For the safety of our community, the Zitzman storm shelter/gym will be open tonight, Friday, March 14, 2025, from 7:00 PM until the storm passes. Please park in the front lot for entry. More info about the weather forecast can be found at: https://www.weather.gov/media/lsx/DssPacket.pdf. Stay safe and take care tonight!

Passage of Proposition M will positively impact every student in the MVR-III School District. This No Tax Increase bond issue will provide funds for a new 7th/8th grade building and provide a better learning space for students in grades 5 & 6. Upon completion of a new middle school, this project would immediately affect over 800 students in grades 5 - 8. However, all future students at grades 4 and below would ultimately benefit from the improved learning spaces provided by Prop M. #MVNation #MovingForwardTogether

At Pacific Intermediate, our 6th-grade math students are actively engaging with equations through hands-on learning experiences. They participated in a scavenger hunt and equations activities that not only reinforced their understanding but also got them moving around the room and made math enjoyable. This approach fosters critical thinking and collaboration among students.
