We have had a great week at MES! MV is closely monitoring the forecast for next week. All students' chromebooks, chargers and badges to login will come home today.
We hope to be in session, however, we are prepared if needed.
Have a great weekend!

| MES Outdoor Recess Guidelines |
|
As we enter into the winter season, we believe outdoor recess is an important and valuable part of the student’s day. Fresh air, exercise and time spent outside afford students a break from the structure of the classroom. Teachers agree that students perform best at school when they have an opportunity for vigorous outdoor play, so we try to get them out whenever possible. However, because there are times when it is not safe for children to be outdoors, we will be following the guidelines listed below to determine whether we will have inside or outside recess.
It will be imperative that your child is dressed appropriately (jackets, gloves, and hats) for the cold weather and prepared to play outdoors. Every child will need to wear a coat in order to go outside for recess.
Winter Recess Guidelines
The National Nurses’ Association has established the following guidelines for outdoor recess during the winter months.
· Feels like 25 degrees and above (considers wind chill factor) - Outdoor recess
· Feels like 24 degrees or below (considers wind chill factor) - Inside recess

If your child is missing anything, please take a look through our lost and found. It continues to grow daily.
Please remember to send your child in with a water and snack daily.

Thank you.
