Spring Break is April 20-24

Hello families,

It has been a pleasure to see you and your children on video calls over the past weeks. It is great to see that your kids are happy and safe at home.

Superintendent Libby Bonesteel sent a letter to families today. Here is some of the important information:

  • All MRPS schools will be on Spring Break from April 20-24. There will be no video calls with teachers. Students are not expected to use Lexia or Freckle.
  • Food service will continue. Meals will be available Monday-Friday at the High School, the Hunger Mountain Coop, and on Cummings Street. Location details here.
  • All student assignments are now on this remote learning website.
  • If you need help of any kind, or if you can help others, check out the Montpelier Mutual Aid website.
  • Teachers will be taking a break until April 27. Teachers will not be responding to email. 

We encourage you to take a break also. If you are able, go outside, look for birds and bugs, and notice the details of spring in Vermont.

We look forward to seeing you on video again starting on April 27!
Kind regards,
Hannah, Sylvia, and Laura
