Dear MES Families,
Thank you so much to our amazing PTO and to you for all of your support for Read-A-Thon! Our kiddos are reading like crazy and are having so much fun!
This was a very exciting week! MES had Dr. Katie Jenner visit us to kick off Read Across America week!
Spring break is quickly approaching! We have one more week of school for Q3. Grades will be finalized after break, if you have questions, feel free to reach out to your child's teacher.
Have a great weekend!
Stephanie

The School Smiles dentist is returning to our school on April 3rd for dental cleanings. If you missed the dentist’s first visit, there is still time to get your student signed up for our upcoming visit! Please visit https://schoolsmiles.com/student-signup/ to sign-up today! A new form needs completed each school year to remain in the program, but if you have already completed a form for the 2024-25 school year, you do not need to sign-up again. School Smiles accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and offers self-pay rates for those who may be uninsured. 
It's time to mark your calendars for Kindergarten Roundup! Visit McCordsville Elementary School on Tuesday, April 1 or Thursday, April 3 between 3:30 - 6:30 p.m.
It is imperative to have all Kindergarten students attend so the schools may prepare enough teachers to keep the class sizes small. MVCSC will have full-day kindergarten only and students eligible for kindergarten registration must have attained the age of five (5) on or before August 1st. There is an appeal process available for students who will turn five (5) after August 1.
The Online Registration Opens March 17, at 9am.
