MES Families-
While one of our four core values is kindness at MES and we talk about it daily with students, we also thought it was important recently to celebrate "Random Acts of Kindness Week" here at MES. It was so touching to see students and staff intentionally do kind things for others throughout the week. A special thanks to our social workers, Mary DeLeonardis and Megan Vitale for organizing this. To see our Acts of Kindness, follow this link:

Please call Nurse Sheryl with any questions.
Importance of Attendance at School-
Attendance is very important for students to gain both academic and social skills. Setting an example of the importance of attendance, and being on time to school is a critical life skill you can help teach your child which will carry over into adulthood.
When a child is not at school, they miss instruction and important skills they will have to try to make up. Please try to schedule appointments before or after school if at all possible. Sometimes it can be very difficult for a student to make up missed instruction from the classroom.
With the pandemic behind us, we would also like to remind parents if your child has a fever or vomiting they are able to return to school 24 hours after those symptoms subside.
Please help us to build a strong work ethic in our students by getting them to school every day (unless they have a fever, vomiting or diarrhea) and on time. Thanks for partnering with us to help grow students!
State Test for Grades 3-5
Our 5th graders will take the ISA (Illinois Science Assessment) in Science on March 28-30.
Please make sure that all students taking these tests are at school on time on these testing days. We will have limited days to do make up tests this year. Please try to not plan any trips or appointments during testing. If you have any questions about the state tests, please contact Mrs. Enriquez.
