MRH MIDDLE SCHOOL UPDATES
(314)644-4406

|
Students at MRH Middle School are immersed both inside and outside the classroom in a variety of experiences through the metaphor, “School as Expedition.”
Learning expeditions are in-depth studies of a topic that engage students through authentic projects, real-life studies, fieldwork, and service. Expeditions occur within the school walls when the community is brought into the classroom through expert guest speakers and outside of the classroom, as a journey to conduct fieldwork.

Chromebooks & Water bottles
We have been experiencing a huge uptick of students coming to school with a Chromebook that is NOT fully charged. Please help your students develop the habit of plugging in their Chromebooks before going to bed.
Water bottles - Please remind your student to grab their water bottle before leaving the house!!

As a reminder, students are allowed to have their cell phones at school but they need to be in their backpacks during school hours. If students are observed with cell phones they will either be asked to put the phone away or a teacher may request to hold the phone or office hold the phone until the end of the day. Thank you in advance for your help.

Families,
We wanted to remind you of our procedure for early pick-up.
When a student needs to leave school early, a Parent/Guardian should call or email Mrs. Jonas our building secretary. Mrs. Jonas can be reached at tonya.jonas@mrhschools.net or (314) 644-4406.
So that we can get your student out to you on time, please provide us with as much advanced notice as possible.
We understand that emergencies happen and that advanced notice is not always possible.
We are not allowing visitors into the buildings at this time. We will send your student out to you!

Weekly Learning
Analyze This!
TED Talk Presentations
Scholars in Mrs. Tanner’s Communication Arts classes have been exploring local and global issues that affect communities.
As part of their research, students worked on finding reliable sources, as well as analyzing and synthesizing their collected information in order to develop possible solutions for their chosen problem. As a culminating activity (which serves as their final exam), students presented a TED Talk to their classmates. This involved crafting a written script and creating slides to accompany their presentation. Students formed an overarching question about their topic, provided background information, and shared how they thought the problem could be improved. Audience members were tasked with providing feedback to their peers, including what the presenter did well, suggestions, and wonderings.

Springtime is here which means
seasonal allergies are too
Students will be spending more time outside as the weather continues to improve. If your student has seasonal allergies, we encourage you to speak with their healthcare provider about a treatment plan.
Here are some tips to help avoid allergy triggers:
1) Start their antihistamine and/or other control medicines for asthma and /or seasonal allergies early.
2) If long-acting antihistamines make your student tired, give it to them at dinner or bedtime.
3) After being outside for recess or playing outdoors at home, have your student wash their hands and take a wet paper towel and wipe down their face and hair -- remove the pollen closest to their nose!
Please keep your child home if they are experiencing any of the symptoms on the daily health screening form and call their doctor for clearance to return to school.
COVID-19 and seasonal allergies present similarly and your healthcare provider will be able to determine when it is safe for your student to return to school.
As always, you are always welcome to call us regarding your student's symptoms.

?Please check with your 7th-grade student's medical provider to make sure they have received their Tdap and MCV (Meningococcal 4 Vaccine) and provide a copy of these vaccine records to our school nurse, Angel Goldberg, RN.
Missouri State law requires all upcoming 8th-grade student's parents to present documentation of these up-to-date vaccines (Tdap and MCV4) prior to the students starting 8th grade.
Please view our REQUIRED immunizations according to the current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Schedule, please visit http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/index.html.
If you have questions, I would encourage you to contact your child's medical provider. You may reach our school nurse, Angel Goldberg, at 314-446-3813, or you may call the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of Immunizations at 1-800-219-3224 for vaccine-related concerns.
