Back to School Night

Last week, we were thrilled to have such a fantastic attendance at our MES Back to School Night. It is so exciting to begin a new school year with a renewed partnership with families. If you missed Mrs. McMillian's presentation, you can visit it by clicking below. It's also on the MES website. It has information regarding important ELAC and SSC meetings this week. If you're looking for one more way to get involved, please reach out.

We have a literacy focus at MES all month long. This week's focus for families is on supporting your child's literacy at home. A couple of week's ago, we reminded families of the importance of reading aloud to your children, and this week, we'd like to focus on talking about literacy and books at home. There are many activities you can participate in at home like, asking your child about his/her reading, playing word games, reading together and more. ImprovingLiteracy.org published a short but meaningful article that lists various types of these activities. The links are below:

Please call our attendance hotline to report your child’s absence @ 760-934-7162. If your child’s absence is not reported, it is considered unexcused.

PTO is looking for Husky Pup Fun Run volunteers. Please reach out to: mammothpto@gmail.com if interested.

Students, lace up those shoes and come to the MES field every morning before school beginning Monday, 9/12 from 7:30-7:55 for some exercise before school! Earn tickets for every lap and remember to bring them back each Friday to turn them in for collectible charms. Regular exercise before school increases attentiveness and positive behavior in the classroom!

Parent/guardian volunteers who are interested in helping with Running Club can email Katie Deaver at katiedeaver2@yahoo.com.

The 4th Grade Field Trip is coming back, and we need your help to make it happen!

This field trip is a fun-filled, jam-packed two day experience where students have the opportunity to travel to Sacramento, learn about gold mining, visit the Railroad Museum, and so much more, all aligned with the fourth-grade curriculum.

Even though, due to COVID, this field trip was not able to take place for the last three school years, MES PTO has continued to set aside funds every year to pay for the trip in the hopes of it returning. The funds needed for this trip are ready and waiting to be used. But we need more than funds to make this trip happen, and that is where you come in! We need a few volunteers to lead a committee, and then a lot of other parents to take on small tasks such as phone calls to help book things like lodging, hiring a chartered bus, scheduling tours at the different venues, organizing permission slips and creating room lists, as well as other tasks.

If you are interested in leading/being on the committee or volunteering to help, please email me at hhund@mammothusd.org as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope we can make this happen for our kids!
