Vice Principal's Message

Actual quotes heard in the halls and on the front steps of MES over the past few days:

“What a great day!”
“This is the best day of my life.”
“I have the best class in the building.” (multiple sources)
“It’s so great to get back volunteering in my child’s class!”
“I love this place!”

Interestingly, each comment reflected some type of open, healthy relationship. Student engagement goes hand in hand with healthy relationships and one of the ways we celebrate Social, Emotional, Academic, & Intellectual Engagement is through assemblies. Assemblies are open to everyone and the MES assembly schedule is highlighted on our school website calendar. So, consider this your personal invitation to join us throughout the school year. Our next big assembly will be the November 10 Remembrance Day assembly at 11:00. Everyone is welcome.

November is Numeracy Month

November is Numeracy Month and this year’s theme is PuzzleMania.

Can you rebuild the Tangram square? What new shapes can you make from the Tangram square pieces? Can you solve the daily Math Mashup?

Watch for math puzzle challenges coming to your home this month and have some family fun creating and solving puzzles together.

Hearing Screening - November 18, 21 & 22

Good hearing is essential for optimal learning. All students in grades K-1 will have their hearing screened yearly through a joint agreement with Hanover School Division and Southern Health. Additionally, students new to MES in grades 2-4 as well as those children whose teachers have concerns are also included. Children already under the care of an audiologist will not be screened. Screening will happen at MES on November 18, 21, and 22 with rescreening for select students on December 5. Parents will be notified if there is a need for a follow up appointment with an audiologist.
