The schedule is as follows:

All family presentation in MES MPR - 5:25-5:35 pm
Grades 3-5 Classroom Presentations - 5:40-6:00 pm
Opportunities for Giving
Mammoth Elementary School is so grateful to our community partners. We have had a number of parents reach out to ask about donating to our school. We do have a wish list of items if you are interested in donating. (Click here.) Additionally, our MES PTO is a supportive partner who also accepts donations and volunteers if you are looking to get involved. (Click here for more info about MES PTO.)
Data Verification
If your student still needs his/her emergency information verified, please log into the Aeries Parent Portal to complete data verification. This is an important safety step to ensure we have proper permissions and contact information. Once you log into Aeries, click on “Student Data Confirmation” to proceed through the tabs and complete the data confirmation process. Please print the emergency card at the end and sign and return it to your child’s teacher prior to September 14. If you need additional help with this, please make an appointment at the front office.

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! Help us by ensuring your children come to school daily. Additionally, please plan vacations around school holidays as much as possible. Read the attached handout about the importance of school attendance.
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 child’s 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.
If you are looking to get involved in the MES PTO, we are hosting our first meeting 9/7/23 at 7:30am.
