New Families

Transitioning to a new school is a big step on your child's educational journey both for your child and for you! We are delighted to assist you with answers to frequently asked questions, important dates to remember, and links that will help you as you make this move. Of course, please call or email the Office of Admissions with any questions. We are thrilled to welcome you to the MRA family!

My MRA/Veracross

All new patrons will be able to access our parent portal, MyMRA, during the summer prior to their child's start date. You will find MyMRA located in the top right hand corner of our school's website. This is a secure portal for parents (Kindergarten - 12th grade) and students (6th - 12th grade). Additionally, our school management system is Veracross, the system you utilized to enroll your child.  With the parent portals on Veracross and MyMRA, you will have access to all daily announcements and news for the school. It will also be a resource for handbooks, school supply lists, course guides, summer reading lists, etc.

New families may access their future parent portal on Veracross here.
