Hello MBE Families!

We have had a great start to our school year! Thank you for attending our MBE Open House evening. MBE Students are getting used to routines and structures these first few weeks of school and building positive relationships with their teachers and peers.

We are excited to offer Leader In Me again this school year! Our students will benefit from learning the 7 healthy habits for being a successful, happy kid! Please look for this information in our weekly communications from our classroom teachers. The students have a lesson and/or activity every morning on LIM or Leader In Me from 9:30-10am.

Arrival in the mornings: we do not have supervision outside until 9:10am due to morning staff collaboration meetings. Please do not drop your child off at MBE earlier than 9:10am. We want all children to be safe and ready for school. 9:15am the first bell rings to enter the building. When it gets cold students should not be waiting outside longer than 5 minutes.

Also, our first bell for departure begins at 3:50pm. Please pick-up your child between 3:50-4pm at the end of the day at the drive-up lane. Our MBE Main Office closes at 4:15pm.

Thank you!

Ms. Wahlin, MBE Principal

Parent Drop Off: 9:15am and Pick Up: 3:50pm Lane

Enter the Drop off/Pick Up Lane and continue to move forward, filling in the lane. Drop off or pick up your child curbside for their safety. During drop off, please stay in your vehicle and have your child exit once you come to a stop unless they need assistance with buckle restraints. If you need more time with your child during drop off or pick up, please park in the visitor parking or street side. We want arrival and dismissal to be efficient and safe for all.

We are excited to partner with Every Meal to offer a free weekend meal program to all our students.

Every Meal is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to fight child hunger through community and school partnerships. They strive to make a difference in children’s lives by focusing on food gaps like weekends, school breaks, and summer when they can’t receive food in school.

● Free for all families

● No qualifications required

● Students enrolled in the program will receive a 4-5 pound bag of nutritious, nonperishable food each week

● Every Meal does not collect information from families; privacy is protected

● Families may choose to participate in the program anytime throughout the school year

● Families may choose from a variety of different weekend food bag options
