Dear MOSAIC Families,
The leaves are changing colors and it is wonderful outside. I hope everyone is taking time to enjoy this beautiful fall weather. I also hope our families are taking the opportunity to meet with their child’s teacher for parent/teacher conferences. The teachers are eager to meet with you to discuss your child’s progress.
Please take a few moments to read this week’s Monday email blast.

Supply Pick-up
We will continue to offer supply pick-ups for MOSAIC@Home students only. During supply pick-up, families will receive classroom resources and materials from Ms. Huettenmeyer, Ms. Meyers and Mrs. Klang. This will also be a time for MOSAIC@Home students to check out books from our library. Our next pick-up date is Monday, October 26th at 8am and from 3:30-4:00pm.
Do you qualify for free and reduced price meals?
At this time, we are unsure if we will be able to continue to offer free meals past December. Mehlville School District encourages families who qualify for free and reduced meals to complete the 2020-2021 application now to avoid disruption.
If your household qualifies for free or reduced-price meals, please start your application now.
Our school food and nutrition employees are available to answer any questions you have about free and reduced price meals. You can reach them at 314-467-5250
Family Support Resources
The COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for everyone. To help families find resources they may need, we have compiled support resources on our website. Check out this page to find free meals, utility assistance, childcare options and mental health support.
MOSAIC Recognition
I would like to encourage our families to submit a MOSAIC Recognition Form to give a shout out to a MOSAIC student or staff member. I read submissions each day for morning announcements. It is a great way to begin the day!
