A message from the Principal


Dear MES Families,

Q1 grades are available in Skyward. Please direct questions to your child's teacher.
Next week is Red Ribbon Week. Please refer to the flyer for dress up days!
When coming to school this week I have noticed some fog out there! Please be safe coming in on these very dark mornings!

Have a great weekend!
