“Learning is Cool at our School!!”
September 22, 2014
______
Dear Students, Parents/Guardians:
Welcome back to another fantastic year of learning at MSES! I trust you have enjoyed your extended summer and are ready to get back into the routines of the school year. I want to extend a very special welcome to all of our new students, families and staff! If your son or daughter is new to MSES, or just anxious about starting a new school year, please help with their adjustment by reassuring and encouraging them that new friendships will be made, old acquaintances renewed and they will have a very good year of learning. Before you know it, students will quickly settle into school and classroom routines.
For the first couple of days this week, teachers will work with a variety of grade groupings, thereby getting to know a large number of students, while at the same time promoting school spirit and important success messages! Our goal is to finalize classes as soon as possible this week. Be assured we will create the best learning environment for ALL students and classes will be finalized as quickly as possible.
It is important for students and parents to be aware of our new start time. To accommodate our 2 week Spring Break, school will start each day at 8:36. Recess and lunch adjustments have also been made. Our new bell schedule is as follows:
8:26 Students enter the school
8:31 Warning Bell
8:36Announcements and beginning of Classes
10:10RECESS
10:25Students re-enter the school
12:05Students exit for lunch playtime
12:32Students come in to eat lunch
12:52Warning Bell
12:55Classes resume
2:35Dismissal
School newsletters are generally published the last Thursday of each month and posted on our website. For this month, our next Newsletter will be posted on Monday, September 29, as we are awaiting confirmation of some important dates.. If you would like to receive our school newsletter by email, please complete the form on the back of this page with your email address. If you have submitted this form last year, you do not need to re-submit it. For the first couple of weeks of school, please check your child’s backpack daily, as papers will be sent home often from the office and classrooms (meals program, verification forms, etc).
Once again, I want to welcome our students, staff and parents back for another exciting year of learning together. To our youngest learners, our new Kindergarten students, we are excited to have you at school and look forward to getting to know you!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Colleen Wood, Principal
