Messages to Families

  • Thank You, MRH Families and Community!

    We did it! 

    I am deeply grateful for your overwhelming support in the passage of Propositions B and E with an astounding 83% and 81% approval rating, respectively the highest approval ratings in the past twenty years. The results from Tuesday’s election speak volumes about the strength of our community and your belief in the future of our schools. We are a community of care!

    Whether you opened your door to a canvasser, asked a thoughtful question, listened to a canvasser’s story or shared your perspective in small, but meaningful conversations with a neighbor or friend, you were demonstrating what it means to be part of a bigger community effort. Your engagement helped bring these propositions to life, and I can’t thank you enough. 

    Thanks to your staunch support, we can now:

    • Stay competitive with teacher salaries

    • Address much-needed deferred maintenance

    • Invest in a new track and field

    • Update furniture and learning environments

    • Fund important projects across the District

    Finally, the passing of Propositions B and E would not be possible without the commitment and support of our Board of Education and the tireless efforts of our Keep MRH Strong PAC led by MRH parent Sandra Richason. This is what community looks like. This is MRH. Thank you for continuing to stand with us.

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Bonita E. Jamison

Superintendent Introduces Strategic Plan

  • Dear Maplewood Richmond Heights Community,

    It is my honor to share our 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, detailing our actionable plan for success for every student, regardless of background, in the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District. This plan is a roadmap to ensure students receive the personalization necessary to nurture their broad range of talents and abilities through a high-quality teaching and learning staff who has been equipped to facilitate a rigorous and bold curriculum.

    As your Superintendent, I recognize that our success depends on the collaboration and support of our entire community. This plan is a reflection of the dedication, energy, and insight of students, staff, parents, board and community members. This plan represents the vision and mission of our district to inspire and prepare students as leaders, scholars, stewards, and citizens for a diverse and changing world.  Students are at the heart of everything we do.  These uniquely gifted and talented students who represent every area of the Maplewood Richmond Heights community, are depending on us to work together as a “Community of Care” to design experiences internally and externally to prepare them to thrive in a constantly evolving world.

    Thank you for your support and engagement as we launch this audacious Strategic Plan, confident in our community and families, proud of our schools’ commitment to equity and social justice and excited about our students’ achievement over the next five years and beyond.

    With Blue Devil Pride,

     

    Dr. Bonita E. Jamison, Superintendent
