Week #25- February 17, 2025
REMINDER: Monday, February 17 and Tuesday, February 18 are now school days for students.

Monday will be a Day 1 in the Specials rotation and Tuesday will be a Day 2 in the rotation. On Wednesday, MES will resume the scheduled rotation with a Day 5.

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: It is challenging to maintain routines when weather impacts school operations. Students may report not feeling well or not wanting to go to school once they have been out for a couple of days. If students are not actively vomiting, running a fever, or working through excessive congestive issues, they are OK to come to school. If there are questions related to this, the school nurse is available by phone each day beginning at around 7:45 AM.
