| A message from the Principal |
|
Dear MES Families,
I-READ 3 will begin March 3 and continue through March 5. If your child will participate in this assessment, you received a letter yesterday from me.
We have been lucky to go outside for recess this week! With that comes a lot of leftover sweatshirts, coats, hats, water bottles and so much more! If your child is missing something, come on in and check out our lost and found. All items leftover will be donated at spring break.
There is no school on Monday, January 16 for President's Day and again on Tuesday, January 17 for staff professional development.
Have a great weekend!
Stephanie
This week our library was transformed into a stellar learning space as Mrs. Fager took all our students on a journey through the universe in the Digitarium! During library class, students had the opportunity to explore the planets in a captivating and immersive environment. Do you know which planet has the most rings? You may be surprised that it is NOT Saturn! Ask your student about what they learned this week in the Digitarium!
Thank you, Mrs. Fager, for making learning about space such an out of this world adventure!
Great job to all our January, Student of the Month!
Huge Congratulations!
| Adoption of new Social Studies |
|
Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation is considering the adoption of new social studies and FACS textbooks for the upcoming school year. The textbook adoption committee is recommending the below resources. Parents and community members may preview the resources in the administration building's main office between the hours of 8:30am-3:30pm until March 9th. The school corporation intends to seek board approval to purchase the resources at the March 9, 2026, school board meeting.
The committee is recommending Savvas Learning’s social studies textbooks for 5th grade, 7th grade Social Studies courses, and HS courses consisting of US History, World History, Econ., and History and Geography of the World. The committee recommends BFW Publishing’s textbook for AP Psychology. The FACS (Family and Consumer Science) department is recommending the G-W Publishers textbook for the new IDOE course Fundamentals of Human Services.
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.
