The MVMS Builders Club is embarking on an eco-friendly mission, and we need your help! We're launching a plastic bag recycling project to do our part in reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability.
Here's how you can get involved: simply gather any clean, dry plastic bags you have lying around the house. This includes grocery bags, bread bags, produce bags, and more. Then, bring your collected bags to the middle school office and drop them off in our designated collection bin. We will be collecting from now until the end of the school year.
Let's come together as a community to make a difference! Every bag counts, so start collecting today. Thank you for your support of the MVMS Builders Club!

Dear Missouri Valley Community School District Parents and Guardians,
I hope this message finds you well. As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment for our students, the Missouri Valley Safety Team, along with the Missouri Valley Police Department and Harrison County Sheriff's Department, will be working together to conduct a Reunification Walkthrough Drill for students in grades 6-12 on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 8:30am. This drill is a proactive measure to ensure that our staff, students, and families are well-prepared for any unforeseen circumstances that may require a reunification process.
During the Reunification Walkthrough Drill, students in grades 6-12 will be transported via MVCSD buses to a predetermined off-site location. This exercise allows us to practice our evacuation, and transportation procedures needed when a Standard Reunification Method is needed. We will be assessing our evacuation process, our transportation process, and our location space.
Please take note of the following important details regarding the Reunification Walkthrough Drill:
Date: Wednesday, March 6, 2024
Time: 8:30 am - 10:15 am
Location: St. Pat’s Catholic Church & Houdek Center
Late Arriving Students: If your student typically arrives or leaves between 8:20-10:15, please do not send them until 10:15 as the building will not be accessible for anyone to enter. If your student has an appointment or has a modified schedule where they would need to leave during this time, we ask that you keep them home because students will not be allowed to leave during the Reunification Drill. These students may return after 10:15.
In the event of an actual emergency requiring reunification, information and instructions will be communicated through our established communication channels, including email, text messages, and the school website.
We understand that reunification drills may raise questions or concerns. Please be assured that this exercise is part of our commitment to enhancing the safety and preparedness of our school community. If you have any specific concerns or questions, feel free to contact the District Office at 712-642-2706, ext 4, or email Mrs. Gochenour at cgochenour@movalleycsd.org.
I appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work together to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Christi Gochenour
Superintendent
Missouri Valley Community School District
