Interested in Substitute Teaching for the 2023-2024 School Year?
Dear Parents and Guardians, we're reaching out to our amazing community with a special request—our school is in need of substitute teachers! If you have a bit of time on your hands and are interested in making a positive impact on our students' lives, this is a fantastic opportunity for you. No teaching experience is required; we'll provide all the training you need. Plus, it's a great way to be involved in the educational environment. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please reach out to our school office for more details. Thank you for considering this important way to contribute to our school community!

Dismissal & Transportation Information
Ensuring a smooth dismissal process for your child requires your cooperation in sharing their regular dismissal plans with the teacher and office. This information is vital for us to execute your intended dismissal arrangements effectively and maintain an orderly process.
Morning Drop-Off
We typically have more than 50 cars that go through drop off in the morning, and we strive to get the cars through as quickly as possible so the adults dropping off aren't late for their other obligations. Please help us make the drop off process more efficient for everyone by observing the following procedures:
1. When dropping off, please pull up along the sidewalk as far as you can go. This allows us to get the greatest possible number of students out of their cars and into the building with each round of drop-offs.
2. Parents should not exit their cars in the drop off line as it slows the process down greatly. Anyone wishing to exit their vehicle to support their child's transition can park in the parking lot or on the basketball courts next to the parking lot and walk their children up to the school.
No early drop off will be permitted - drop off begins at 8:25 AM. The drop-off concludes at 8:35, and traffic direction shifts in front of the school to facilitate the arrival of preschool students.
Afternoon Pick-up
1. Students will be dismissed from the gymnasium through the exterior door near the kindergarten playground. Please do not walk to the MRE front door for dismissal, unless prior arrangements have been made.
2. As you loop around the school, please pull up to the farthest cone you are able and wait for your child or children to be sent out. If possible, please place a sign on your dashboard with your family name.
Parents should not arrive to pick up students before 2:50. This will prevent interference with LBMS pick up procedures
Our goal, as always, is to transition students safely into and out from the building as safely and efficiently as possible. Thank you for your assistance.
Dee Bus Co.
Dee Bus Co. serves as our dedicated bus transportation provider. For any questions or concerns regarding your child's bus stop or other related information, you can contact Dee Bus Co. directly at 978-733-1047. For less urgent questions you can email at nkelly@deebus.com.
**Whenever we receive information about a bus delay, we will promptly share updates in the LIVE FEED section of the MRE website. You can find this information at https://www.nrsd.net/o/mres.**

Lost & Found
The Lost & Found area could use some TLC. If you're a parent who'd like to assist in organizing and hanging up sweatshirts and jackets, please reach out to me. I may seek more volunteers in the future, but at the moment, I'm focused on getting the steadily increasing pile in order. Your help is greatly appreciated! Email: jfrommer@nrsd.net
