Interested 5th Grade Parents should Contact Mr. Hertz to Establish an End-of-Year Committee
This committee will work with the Room Parents (Selected by Teachers) to develop goals and fundraising ideas. The EOY Committee submits fundraising ideas formally to the Principal and PTA President using the Fundraiser Request Form in the Parent Handbook. The Committee may have one of the two Bingo Nights. The Committee supports 5th grade teachers with End-of-Year activities such as Promotion and a possible Pool Party at MHS. Funds may not be used for Private Parties not officially sponsored by MES.
Please use this survey to express your interest.
Thank you for your consideration,
Principal Hertz

REPRINTS Below
Join the PTA!
The simple act of joining the PTA provides instant financial support for our students! It's also a great way to stay informed about what's happening at school, and connect in meaningful ways with other parents. https://www.malibuelementary.org/membership
Illness Prevention
We encourage parents to be informed about illness prevention as we start the new school year. The Los Angeles County Dept of Public Health has these recommendations: English / Spanish. Note the only current masking requirement is to mask for 10 days following a positive case of Covid-19. The most up to date COVID instructions are also on our website located here: https://www.smmusd.org/Page/4059. The District has some supplies of masks for any staff who requests. Please check with our School Nurse Marion Mayer mmayer@smmusd.org. Our new District Coordinating Nurse is Priscilla Guzman, pguzman@smmusd.org.
Medications at School Form
No medications may be given to any student at school without this annual form. If you have questions, please contact School Nurse Marion Mayer mmayer@smmusd.org . Link to Form
Spirit Wear!
Parents are encouraged to purchase spirit wear. Our PTA has two different collections of wear: Classic Collection and the Akaway Collection. Wearing spirit wear, especially on Fridays sends a message to one another that you are invested in the greater good of our school. Our colors are blue and green so if you don't yet have PTA Spirit-Wear, please consider showing up on the first day of school in these hues.
Class Lists/ Complaints
Class assignments will be emailed Wednesday, August 21st in the afternoon. Please help us embrace the new year with enthusiasm and positivity. We want your child’s return to school to be met with joy, curiosity, and wonder. Children look to you for guidance and if they see you are excited about the new school year, they too will feel good about the year to come. We believe deeply in all our teachers here at MES. No changes to class assignments will be made during the first three weeks of school and we prefer not to make changes at all. Read more here.

5th Grade Pali Camp Overnight Field Trip - Donations Needed
We are excited for our 2024 - 2025 5th grade class to again have the opportunity to attend outdoor school in October 2024. Outdoor school is perhaps the greatest highlight of elementary school for many students and is a sort of rite-of-passage. We are asking 5th grade parents to donate now so that we may make our next installment payment.
Thank you to teacher Tracy Kooy for leading the annual fourth grade parent orientation to outdoor school back in April. Thank you to all the parents who turned out. Parents decided to not fundraise, but rather to make voluntary donations to cover the $20,795 trip.
Thank you to the twenty (20) families who have donated. So far we have collected $10,880. We need at least sixteen (16) more donations to be able to make our third installment of $8,200 by the September due date. See Group Payment Schedule below for more details.
All or None
If we don’t raise enough funds for ALL students to participate, we will ask the PTA to fund the difference. If there is not enough available funds or support from PTA, then the trip will be canceled; we will refund all donations but lose our original PTA deposit. Also, to help prevent canceling the trip, any families who won’t be able to voluntarily contribute the full $520 will be asked what if anything they can donate. Perhaps $300, $200 or $50? Anything helps. Finally if there are families who would like to cover another student, we will accept donations above and beyond $520.
