Week #32- April 14, 2025
MES has a very busy two months ahead as the 2024-2025 academic year wounds down. There are six field trips planned for the next eight days of school and multiple school and PTO activities coming up. We appreciate everyone who supports these efforts. Whether it is directly supporting the event, or simply maintaining effective communication related to the events, we appreciate the commitment to ensuring a successful school experience for MES students.
If you would like to become more directly involved, but you are not sure how to do that, please contact your child’s teachers or the MES office. MES is a great school because of all the great people that care!
Thanks for your support and involvement.
Have a great week!

MES Library Information: Library Catalog Tutorial explains how families can access the MES Library Catalog and how to use the search, history and hold features of the catalog. Learn more at the MES Library Website.
Attendance Tip: While it is not always possible, try to plan family trips around the school calendar. One observation I have seen in reviewing MES attendance data this year is that there has been an increase in days missed due to family trips. If a student has excellent attendance, this does not have much of an impact. In some cases, however, the combination of illness, which is impossible to plan for, and planned absences have had a significant impact on attendance and achievement.
