MHS/WES Newsletter
Welcome Back to School!
Message from the Principal
It's that magical time of the year again! There is nothing like the first day of school. Our hearts are open and our dreams for the future are bright. The excitement of new supplies, new friends, and a new teacher make it hard to sleep. The possibilities are endless. We are busy putting on the last touches to make sure that everything is ready for your child's first day.
Below you will find lots of information. Throughout the school year we will continue to provide you information by sending out a school-wide newsletter every two weeks. In the meantime, please reach out to our office if you have any questions. We are here to help!
Looking forward to a wonderful school year!

NOTES FOR THE FIRST DAY!!
For example: Joey will be a pick up daily and will not be taking the bus.
These notes are very important to your child's new teacher, as they are not aware if your child is a daily, extended day, band, etc. Thank you for your cooperation.
