MES Construction Update


Construction at MES is moving right along. Our next phase of construction is set for this month. The northeast wing of the building has been remodeled and will be ready for occupancy April 9, 2021. Our classes in the current kindergarten wing will be moving into the remodeled rooms and trailers H and I over spring break. We will begin renovating the kindergarten wing April 26, 2021. If your child is in TK, Kinder or Ms. Kirkeby's class, they will be in a new classroom starting April 19. Your child's teacher will be sure to explain the new location of the room, and we will have extra staff members on hand to assist children the week of April 19. Additionally, part of the main MES office will be under construction. We will have staff members in the main office daily, but Mr. Alvarado, Mrs. McMillian and Mrs. Laframboise will be temporarily located in a different part of the building. We are excited to see all of the new changes to our building. Construction is set to be finalized August 15, 2021.
