Important Changes to Minor School License (MSL): Recent legislative changes will impact Iowa minor school license program, effective July 1, 2024. Significant revisions have been made to the legislation governing the issuance and usage of minor school licenses. Key points of the new legislation include: 1. Renaming the minor’s school license (MSL) to the Special Minor’s Restricted License (SMRL). 2. Expanding the SMRL to include work privileges. 3. Standardizing driving distances for all students and purposes. 4. Implementing more stringent penalties for traffic offenses while using the license. 5. The requirement for SMRL holders to always carry a parental consent form in the vehicle while driving and present it to law enforcement upon request. Under the new law, eligibility criteria for the SMRL remain similar to the MSL, requiring completion of driver’s education and holding an instruction permit for six months prior to applying. However, notable changes include the removal of the one-mile distance requirement for public school students and the reduction of the allowed driving distance to 25 miles for various purposes. We will have information on the MVCSD website. Please contact the Missouri Valley District Office with questions 712-642-2706, ext. 4

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!
