A message from the Principal



Dear MES Families,

Our lost and found has a multitude of items. If your child is missing something, please have them check. You are also welcome to come in and look through our lost and found. All leftover items will be donated at spring break. We will continue to go outside as much as possible for recess and other activities. Please have your children dress accordingly. 

I hope that you have a great weekend!

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.
