A message from the Principal


Dear MES Families,

Your child's teacher will have sent you a message in regards to sign-ups for parent teacher conferences. If you have any problems, please reach out to the teacher. We may have other options for you.

We have made it to our first long weekend of the school year! I hope that you all are able to enjoy this amazing weather! NO SCHOOL on MONDAY!

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

News from the Library


Starting school or coming back to school can be difficult for some students. Kristin Rydholm’s article, 11 Picture Books to Help Young Students Manage Their Worries can help! Be sure to check out these book suggestions to help young learners manage back to school anxiety, as well as worries in general. (Edutopia, August 15, 2022)  Here are some books we have in our school library to help students understand how to manage their worries.

New this year---MyBooster has an exciting business partnership incentive that we will share NEXT WEEK with our students!  Stay tuned for the exciting surprise!  In the meantime, go ahead and sign up at mybooster.com

Most importantly----we are so glad you are part of our school community.  Thank you in advance for participating in the fun!





Outside Food and Treats


As per the MVCSC Handbook:

No homemade food items may be sent in for parties or celebrations. All items must be store bought and sealed.

Students should not bring or have food from restaurants (e.g., McDonald's, Subway, etc.) delivered or dropped off during school hours. This includes for birthdays, lunches, or special occasions.

These practices help maintain safety for students with food allergies and promote a consistent school environment.



Lost and Found




It's the beginning of the year and we already have items in our lost and found. If your child is missing anything, please ask them to check or feel free to come in and take a look.



Snacks


Please remember to send your child in with a snack and water bottle everyday.
 

Thank you!


Reminder - Drop off and Pick up Procedures


If you are bringing your child to school in the morning, please drop off your child at the front drop off area beginning at 7:15 a.m. 


Please enter school grounds via the back entrance on 700N. Pull all the way around and there will be staff to direct you to pull forward. They will also be there to assist your child out of the car. Parents should not get out of the car.

Please remember that you must come in to sign a student in and out of school if it is after 7:35 am or before 2:05 pm. They could be considered tardy if this procedure is not followed. 


The back gate opens at 1:30 for pick-up. Do not park on the grass or anywhere on 700N. We use a cone/number system to make sure students are safe.
