Great Kindness Challenge
Each year schools all over the world participate in a weeklong Great Kindness Challenge. Mammoth Elementary School in coordination with the Mono County Office of Education Counseling Department will be participating next week, February 6-10, 2023. We have a weeklong event with spirit days, recess activities and a checklist of 50 kind activities that students can complete (link here). If you would like to get involved, take a look at the activity checklist or the website, https://thegreatkindnesschallenge.com/. There is even a family edition for you to complete at home. All resources are available in both English and Spanish on the website. We look forward to sharing kindness all around Mammoth!
We are committed to our targeted learning focus for the school:
Ponder, Persevere and Prove It!

IMPORTANT BUS INFORMATION FOR WEDNESDAY 2/1/23
At 3:45pm pick up time, we will ONLY HAVE ONE SCHOOL BUS. We typically have two buses to transport students down the mountain. We are asking that any families who are able to pick up their students from the mountain at 3:40 to please do so tomorrow. We highly encourage family pick up from MMSA due to the limited space on the school bus.
Pick up time is at 3:40 at Main Lodge. All families need to check-out their student with an MES teacher. We also ask that you do not enter the blue fenced in corral. If we do not have enough students picked up from the mountain, our one school bus will drop off at MES and return to Main Lodge to pick up the remaining students. This means pick up time at MES will range from approximately 4:00-5:15 depending on our student numbers.
Ski/Snowboard Lockers
At the front of the school, we have lockers for each class' equipment. Please plan to put your child's skis & poles/snowboards in the locker the day before skiing or the morning of. All gear that your child wears (boots, gloves, helmets, etc.) goes into the building to the classroom. If you are dropping off equipment the morning of, please park in the visitor's parking lot and walk the equipment to the front of the school. NO SKI/SNOWBOARD EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE DROPPED OFF IN THE DROP OFF LANE.
See the document linked here with important information for ski/snowboard PE.
Please remember that if you are picking up your child from the mountain, please always check out with a teacher.
