Dear Mullan Road Families,

This Thursday and Friday, we will hold conferences for you to connect with your child’s teacher and discuss their progress. These conferences are a vital part of the partnership between families and our school, providing a dedicated time to focus on your child’s growth, strengths, and areas for improvement.

During the conference, you’ll hear about your child’s achievements, ask questions, and collaborate with their teacher to set meaningful goals. This is also a valuable opportunity to share your insights about your child—because no one knows them better than you! When families and teachers work together, it creates a powerful support system that fosters both academic and emotional success for students.

If you haven’t signed up yet, please do so as soon as possible by visiting the conference sign-up portal on our webpage or clicking here. Our goal is 100% attendance, and we are committed to ensuring every family has the opportunity to meet with their child’s teacher.

Please note: There will be no school for students this Thursday and Friday.

Currently we have 95% of families signed up for conferences. Thursday and Friday are long days for teachers. If you wish to support teachers, please feel free to drop off snacks and treats to the front office. We also appreciate coffee card donations that we have received in the past where we can make coffee runs for staff during conferences.

We look forward to seeing you here for conferences!

Appreciatively,

Matt Beal

Principal

Our incredible 5th grade leaders took charge last week, teaching our school expectations during PBIS rotations! These students applied for the opportunity, sharing why they should be chosen, and they did an amazing job guiding their peers. We're so proud of their leadership and dedication!

We are looking for volunteers to help with our Reading Buddies Program as well as lunch/recess supervision! Help make a difference and spend some time with our awesome MR Trailblazers by following the link --> Volunteer Here

If you or your family has had a loss of housing, remember that you may be eligible for the HEART program’s support and services.

We work to provide educational stability for students that are staying in temporary or transitional living situations.

As the weather gets colder, please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for outdoor recess and arrival/dismissal, as we go outside in most weather. Be sure to label all clothing items to help us return them if misplaced. Thank you!
