We are committed to our targeted learning focus for the school:
Ponder, Persevere and Prove It!
MES F.U.N. - Family University Night Family Survey
Last opportunity to fill out the survey! It will close Wednesday 10/25!
We would like to start 4 family university nights (F.U.N) at MES this year. This is a chance for families to come together to become involved in our school. It is also an opportunity for family engagement and collaboration with teachers and staff. We are looking for family feedback as to how to best fit the needs of our students, families, teachers and staff. Please fill out this (anonymous) form to give your input on what you would like us to provide for you and your family.

Halloween Costumes
Students may wear Halloween costumes to school on Tuesday, October 31. Please no violent-themed costumes, no weapons (swords, guns, knives, etc.), and no full face makeup should be worn by students. Our MES ASB has a fun event planned for students during the school day.
We practice number sense routines weekly. Utilizing the image below with students in TK-2, you can practice these math skills at home as well. See what your student thinks about this week's image of the week. By clicking the link in the title above, you can explore even more math resources for your child.
Attendance
Daily attendance is so important. Please remember to have your student attend every day and arrive on time to school. Our goal is to get above 95% daily attendance!
Last week our average was 92%. Grade level attendance percentages were as follows:
TK - 92%
K - 91%
1 - 92%
2 - 93%
3 - 91%
4 - 92%
5 - 94% π
We have a new system integrated with our attendance program that is making automated contact with families when a student is marked absent. If you have already called in your child's attendance for the day, you can ignore the message. If you have not already made contact, please call our attendance hotline to report why @ 760-934-7162. If your childβs absence is not reported, it is considered truant. Also note that this is a monitored line for leaving an attendance message only. You will not receive a call back.
FUN RUN
The dust has settled, our muscles have recovered from the run and the money has been collected. Thank you to everyone who helped make the Fun Run a great success: our volunteers, the mascots, Juan Villalpando and the facilities staff, teachers and staff members, DJ Send It, Mr. Hammers and the Band, the PTO Board and all the spectators.
Thank you for Being A Part of the Tradition.
WE ARE 100% POWERED BY VOLUNTEERS AND DONATIONS
Mono Arts Council
We are excited to present our next artist, MC Escher! Maurits Cornelis Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who worked in multiple mediums during his lifetime, which spanned the first half of the 20th century.
His works are best known for being mathematically inspired, and are often called "impossible drawings" as they use tessellations to transform a singular shape from one image to another.
In these lessons, your children will be learning about using positive and negative space, shared lines as well as how to create these tessellations!
To learn more, follow this LINK to the MC Escher website.
