Please review the revised 24/25 MES Parent Handbook
1) School Start/End Times are NEW this year!
- School Hours: 8:00 AM - 3:15 PM
- Morning Preschool Hours: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM (Arrival time 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM)
- Afternoon Preschool Hours: 12:15 PM - 3:15 PM (Arrival time 11:45 AM - 12:15 PM)
2) Please Be Advised
Please refrain from dropping your child(ren) off or having them walk to school before 7:30 AM. There is not an adult on supervision until 7:30 and this is a safety concern if they are out there without supervision.
3) Student Personal Technology
The usage of personal cell phones and other electronic devices (tablets, handheld games, kindles, smart watches, etc.) are not permitted on school property (classrooms, hallways, gym, blacktop, playground, bus line, route buses, etc). If devices are carried to school by students, the devices must be silenced and not visible (in backpacks) prior to entering and exiting the school property. If this expectation is not met, the phone or other personal electronic device may be confiscated and returned at the end of the day. After the first offense, parents will be contacted to retrieve the device. Any subsequent offenses will result in an office referral and a parent meeting with the principal. The ultimate decision will be finalized by the building administrator(s). If a student needs to contact a parent during the school day, they should let their teacher or the office know. If a parent needs to contact their child during the day, they should call the office and a message will be given to the student. Watches and cell phones should not be used as recording devices for any purpose.
4) Visitors
We want parents and families to feel welcome at Marysville Elementary, but your children’s safety is our top priority and does not interfere with classroom instruction (See BOE Policy KM). Please follow the guidelines below when visiting MES:
If you are dropping off student materials or belongings, please come to the front door of the school and ring the bell. The office staff will either grant you access into the building where you will need to check in with them in the main office, or they will have you leave items in the vestibule.
If you plan to eat a school lunch with your child for a special occasion or by invitation from the school, please order through the school office before 8:30am on the day you plan to eat with your child. If you are bringing outside food in, please let your student’s teacher know your plans to visit and that your child will be bringing lunch from home that day. See attached food and drink policy prior to bringing an outside lunch into the building. Please refrain from bringing in non-food items (i.e. toys).
Please do not park in the BUS LANE if your visit will be longer than 5 minutes. There is parking on the other side of the concrete wall that visitors are welcome to park.
