ROOMS| Good Morning!! It is time to get this year started. One of the most effective measures that parents can do is to be in communication with your child's teachers. Here at Mountainburg Schools, we use a tool called ROOMS. This was launched last year. It is accessible through the DragonLinks App. When you receive the sheet with your child's Magic Code to join, you will need to follow a few instructions. We hope to make this a consistent two-way communication tool between your child's teachers and you. **Email invites were sent out August 9, 10, 11 to the parent/guardian emails currently in E-School. More email invites will be sent out this week. **If you joined Rooms last year, you do not need to do anything.

Welcome to School. Happy 1st Day of school!
