NEW! Reminder on Dropping Off Items
If a student forgets an item at home, such as homework, P.E. clothes, band instruments, lunch money, or lunches, parents are permitted to bring those items to school; however, we will not deliver the item or a message about the item to students. Students may check in at the office during passing periods or lunch to retrieve a forgotten item. This is to encourage students to be responsible for the items they need on a daily basis and keep our student’s classroom interruptions to a minimum. At no time will individual or group online/call-in food orders be allowed for delivery.
NEW! Holiday Helpers
Help a Mesa Verde family this holiday season! Please drop off gift cards at the front office or to Ms. Fitzherbert in Room 331. We are accepting gift cards to assist with groceries, gas, stores, restaurants, etc.
Donations will be accepted until the end of the school day on Tuesday, December 13th. Thank you for all of your support!
